the Enlighten 'Adventure' pirate ship.. smaller mod of the Lego Black Sea Barracuda.. I have the Enlighten 'Black Pearl' (a mod of the Lego BSB) and also the Kazi 'Black Pearl' (a big mod of the Lego Imperial Flagship) unbuilt..

The figurehead is the Lego Warrior Goddess Minifg.. fitting i think due to the gold scheme..

Not sure if these sets are new or not.. but I've only seen the set in 2015..

I'll review the Enlighten 307 'Adventure' set as such:
1. Minifigures: decent, but rather crappy, some faces are ok, but there are some weirdly drawn faces. I threw them out and used actual Lego pirates minifigs. The accessories are good though, especially the chromed swords. Not sure how tough the chrome coating is.
2. Brick: not bad actually, there are some fitting problems, but i would say only about 5% of the total bricks; the ship is steady and stable. There are also some discoloration (brownish streak) on 1 or 2 of the long grey plates, but nothing obvious.
3. Other stuff: the strings for the sails are ok, but there's a big problem (for the Enlighten 308 Black Pearl set) with the 'rubber' hose used as the hook for one of the treasure chest; the rubber hose broke in pieces, too brittle. Luckily, not an important or even useful part. The sails are made of some kinda hard paper, but they actually feels authentic
4. Instruction book: straight to the point and easy to follow. no problems there.

Overall, for the price, you'd get a solid ship. The minifigures are forgettable and you can just use your own. Try this online shop to get it for RM99, with free shipping too iToys.com Enlighten Adventure Ship

on another note, I've looked through the Kazi Black Pearl set (haven't build yet, too many pieces). seems decent too, but the instruction is not as clearly done like the Enlighten one.. but it is a VERY big ship

i've seen it quoted from around RM150 to RM250.. I got mine at RM150 from a facebook seller.

Assembled the Kazi Black Pearl.. sans the sails (the patterns are just too cartoony for me, going to make some cloth sails later).

Added a Lego Octopus as the figurehead.. i named her The Night Kraken!







My review:

The Good:
1. HUGE ship, and hefty too.
2. Love the roomy Captain's cabin
3. Looks menacing with the black/grey scheme, the size helps too

The Bad:
1. Fitting problem, particularly later in the build (the top parts of the hull sides have problem fitting, have to apply force, and that hurt fingers)
2. Plastic quality on some pieces are bad, especially anything with clips. (some of mine just broke off, but luckily just thin pieces, so clip function intact)
3. Very sharp edges, most painful build ever.. doesnt help that the bad fittings require using force to push down the bricks.
4. Masts pieces kinda loose (temporarily fixed that by inserting technic axle to hold them, might glue them later).
5. Horrible sails pattern.
6. No way to easily access the Captain's cabin.
7. room under the Captain's cabin underused.

Overall: despite the Bads, i actually like the ship. It's huge and imposing, and looks great too.

Completed the Kazi 87011 Government Ship.. going to replace the supplied sails which has nice prints but made of exampad cover-like paper.. Build experience was just like the Kazi Black Pearl; painful to the fingers, but luckily less parts.. some fitting problems at the hull top sides too. But overall it's a beuatiful ship, almost like a clone of the Lego Brickbeard's Bounty/ Brick Bounty.







and more on the Black Pearl, truly a magnificent ship!







between Kazi and Enlighten, i prefer Enlighten's brick quality and fit, but in terms of looks, i prefer the Kazi ships.

I got this one, the KAZI Black Pearl.. brick quality is ok, definitely not Lego quality and have very sharp edges.. the little pieces (especially the cannon door flaps) are rather fragile (the part of the flap that snaps to the other plate). There are fitting issues for the long bricks that make up the ship's sides, but can be forced to fit by applying pressure, but be prepared to feel pain cos they are sharp. The minifigures are crap. And i really hate the sails. so i left mine without the sails..

at the end of the day though, it's one awesome looking ship. the parts hold well, and the only thing that seems unstable are the masts, they don't really lock well. thankfully the riggings help to stabilize the masts. i got mine for RM150.

the sails are made up of some kind of paper plastic material; too shiny. add to that, the prints on it make it very cartoony.. doesn't look menacing at all.. im planning to make my own cloth black sails, just plain black..

is the Lepin 16002 seacow here already in Malaysia? saw the black pearl, but not the sea cow..
