- This is such a cool set. It looks great on the box and even better in person. Kind of like Super Meat Boy.
Is this the best way to get it without breaking the bank?

I haven't ever used this seller, but I just found this etsy store that has custom sails for the QAR (plus a lot more stuff). No idea about the quality of products or integrity of seller, but it's way cheaper than buying the lego version www.etsy.com/listing/1303540576/cloth-sail-sail-set-suitable-for-pirate?click_key=0f5c2a545b1253744f42484e9194fbeede602bfd%3A1303540576&click_sum=3ed36572&ref=shop_home_active_118&frs=1
Ah yes, the glory of retired LEGO values, where a brown feather is worth over $40
As a kid, I had the choice between the Black Pearl and this beauty for my birthday gift. As cool as the Pearl is, I am very pleased with my child self deciding on the Revenge. One of my favorite sets of all time!
With how easy it'd be to reprint these parts for easier access in newer Lego sets, I can't help but feel Lego does this exclusive parts crap on purpose.
Oh yeah 100%
Wow How did that handsome man hold a water bottle for 4 hours straight??
the 8th wonder of the world
When I was a kid, I got the Black Pearl for christmas. After looking at the related sets on the last page of the instructions, I wanted this set, SO BAD. Being extremely expensive, I was never able to get it before it retired. Oh well, at least I had the black pearl
so you are telling me that i have a ship in my house thats expensive nowadays? well, lets build again and sail away!
all this video showed me was that I needed to take better care of my Lego sets when I was younger, cause I had this. and like a fool didn't put everything back in the box
Did you enjoy it though?
I did something similar but bought the China version first and used the sails, flags, any parts without studs and sticker sheet. Everything else I replaced with lego.
Yeah that’s a really good idea. Best way to get old printed fabric
What worked best for me, instead of laboriously searching for blocks, is to buy an exceptional lego set that will end this year and in 2-3 years I will easily sell it for a higher price and buy any old decommissioned ship.
10-year discarded sets no longer rise in price as sharply as sets that will end this year, until 2025 there will be a sharper increase in price than for a 10-year discarded set.
For example, I will buy a Blacksmith Medieval and a republic fighter tank today - the purchase price should be somewhere around 160 EUR, within three years it should be enough for a used Queen Anne.
Or it was worth buying a Barracuda Bay and in a few years you can easily trade it for an Imperial Flagship.
I struggle to understand why people bother spending hundreds of extra dollars on real Lego when they can just get the functional equivalent from china, especially when it’s a display piece.
Usually the answer is “not wanting to wait super long” or “it’s risky to buy overseas”, but you went ahead and bought it anyways.
Was it really worth the extra money to have that official stamp?
Some people don’t mind at all and some people are 100% LEGO purists.
The newer haunted mansion I mentioned getting was a disaster.. it was missing over half the pieces, had tons of extra pieces and the minifigs were extremely fragile and horribly printed.
QAR was complete, but it was just hard to get the pieces to lock together (blood was drawn). Plus the figs were terrible and some parts didn’t fit at all.
So that’s the risk, even the higher quality sets are a SERIOUS downgrade in quality, in my experiences.
I would definitely say I’m a Lego purist. I still buy most sets for functionality over display cause I still act like a child. I try to just avoid looking at older sets so I don’t want to spend the hundreds of dollars on a $30 set. But I have wanted to search around 3rd party Lego stores to find any special deals on idk sets
I *almost* got this set for my birthday but at the last minute decided on something else. I dearly regret that decision now (although I'm sure it'd be missing many pieces if 10-year-old me got my hands on it).
I really like this channel! It's a fun dive into the hobby and allows me to live vicariously through your experience what I cannot afford to experience for myself
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it
2:34 This caught me off guard 😭 great video !
i have it from my childhood and it's pretty cool seeing it being so pricey
Great video, congratulations!!!
Love the Golden Eye soundtrack :)
ive been to andys multiple times. i love them. theyre super nice!
I'm so envious of lego fans that aren't also cardboard collectors. If I don't have the original box and instructions I don't have the set in my mind
Lol
Not a big fan of cardboard boxes because where I live, it gets moist and moldy.
@@tomokocchikuroki6200where do you live
This video is like lquid nostalgia, I had this set as a kid.
fire video, you deserve more subs
Damn. Maybe I should but mine together. Got it for 50€ from a second hand store but without the sails. I was thinking the would cost A LOT.
They do, but if you already have the rest of the ship it’s not too bad
@@brickjawns Yeah, I might go even for reproduction sails. Didn't even consider something like that.
I own the QAR and used that exact same flag piece as an replacement for a lost one. 4:33
I was looking on eBay and found one that was only missing a few pieces and it was 170 dollars
Good deal, depending on if the pieces were rare
you sound like Bruce Campbell. I love it
That’s one of the best compliments I’ve ever gotten. I can’t wait to tell my Ash figure
i got it from a grandma on offerup for 50$ and it was sealed still havent opened it
Blackbeard is Asian...that killed me!😅
I used the same method to make the Republic Attack Cruiser. So much cheaper than $1000
Nice!
Can you please link the Chinese versions. I really need to replace my worn down sails with the fake ones but there are so many sellers idk what to choose. I would like to purchase from the seller u got ur Chinese sails from
It looks like the store I bought it from is gone, but basically I tried to find a store that had been open longer than a couple months and had mostly positive reviews
Unexpectedly based for a Lego vid, I was very pleasantly surprised
Where did you get the off brand LEGO Queen Anne's Revenge from? if you know do you have the link? (Great vid!!!
Aliexpress. I don’t have a link because the seller is gone, but you just have to find a good seller (start with someone who has been around for more than a month)
@@brickjawns Okay!
Great job on the video. Maybe you can stencil the other side of the flag?
Possibly!
Its scary how crazy people actually are...for some tiny logos. You can buy chinese version for $25 that's the same without tiny lego logos
found this used on FB marketplace for $120
That’s awesome
you should add gas price to total :D all this driving :D
Yikes, that would probably bring it back up to $500
Me with power miner set be like
I'm investing in this channel
Wait this set isn't old. I remeber when it came out. Its only been..... 💀
lol
Now include gas
I bought one for 35$ from temu
How was the quality
@@brickjawnsPretty good except the figures
Good try .. too much effort .. but the result is stunning ❤🎉😊
The excessive effort is the fun part!
2:38 In the video you had a show everybody you’re a bigot
good vid and all just stop putting religion and politics in dog.
You’re not the boss of me
@@brickjawns damn, fast unsub and dislike
@@brickjawnsyesssir
The Disney race swapping comment was distasteful 2:35
There always has to be one. 🙄
It was funny
I agree, I'm not against cynical jokes, especially if they are aimed at a massive cooperation like disney, but this comment was not funny enough to be considered a joke, nor clever enough to be criticism.
If you don’t like it then go away
