My kids were getting very frustrated with the connections of masts and hulls. They are very poorly designed and "pressure" fit to a point where they easily pop off. Both boats - the Royal Dutchman and Black Pearl - have poor fitting. Compared to lego, the ability for parts to connect and stay connected is extremely poor.

I plan to write a letter to Mega Blocks about this quality issue.

I ordered this gift for my 6 year old grandson... an avid Star Wars / legos fan, by the way. Since he already has most of the SW toys, I took a leap of faith and purchased the Caribbean 2: Flying Dutchman. It was the hit of the day! He loved it- the size and ease of assembling the blocks was the key. And, his parents were happy it didn't fall apart with play. Amazon was very prompt in sending the gift. Thank you very much.

It really does look cool when it's all put together, the detail is incredible, BUT- if your child wants to actually play with it, that's another story. The pieces don't hold together near as well as Lego blocks. In fact, I had to resort to using Lego blocks to brace pieces so that the ship doesn't fall apart every time my son touches it. He still loves it- I'm just tired of putting it back together every thirty minutes or so because he can't get it to stay in one piece...
