September 3, 200915 yr SES - it's worth more, sell it and buy a BSB! lol - I didn't know that :) What's a MISB SES worth compared to a MISB BSB - wow all those acronyms
September 3, 200915 yr lol - I didn't know that :)What's a MISB SES worth compared to a MISB BSB - wow all those acronyms $100 or so more. The original set was $20 more than the BSB, and was rarer anyway. The BSB was also re-released, which doesn't affect the price of MIB sets, but the price of box-less ones is lower.
September 3, 200915 yr I don't like schooners BSB for me! But indeed, a superhero is only a REAL superhero if he's able to save both.
September 3, 200915 yr Kind of boils down to this poll, eh?But definitely BSB for me, because in comparison to SES it has an upper deck, neutral sails, so it can be converted into any faction by swapping flags, a much better stern design, and no silly rotating canons. SES is of course a proper three-master and the big sail on the second mast makes it look a lot larger and more menacing. If I'd have both the SES would be my pirate ship, whereas the BSB would be converted into an imperial ship. Luckily I just managed to buy a 6285 BSB I say SES only because I have an origianl BSB.
September 3, 200915 yr ide spend too much time makeing a choice ! SES though, sell it and but hull pieces and masts.
September 3, 200915 yr I don't like schooners The SES isn't a real schooner. The sails of a schooner are placed in the length of the ship. If I couls save one ship, it would be SES..... because I already own a BSB. The latter is the best.
September 3, 200915 yr I have superpowers, so my superspeed would save them both . Probably SES though, the BSB looks slightly better, but the SES is worth more, has better figs and is more interesting.
September 3, 200915 yr I say SES only because I have an origianl BSB. If I couls save one ship, it would be SES..... because I already own a BSB. The latter is the best. I think the idea of the topic is more to imagine it would be your only copy of BSB versus your only copy of SES. And no reselling possibilities
September 3, 200915 yr Arrrrr it be the skulls eye schooner that. Me already have a Black Sea 'Cuda. Arr
September 5, 200915 yr I think the idea of the topic is more to imagine it would be your only copy of BSB versus your only copy of SES. And no reselling possibilities Well, in that case: BSB. More realistic, and I will never sell it.
September 8, 200915 yr The BSB is more realistic and I'd say slightly better of a ship but SES is rarer of the two so I would go with SES. But if we even up the rarity and there was only one left MISB of both in the whole world I would take BSB.
September 13, 200915 yr That other poll encompasses the other major ships in the Pirates line, but the SES and BSB are unarguably the best ships in the line. Maybe we can get a poll to allow these two ships to duke it out? I vote BSB. It looks way more bad megablocks, and despite being limited to two cannon per side, it looks the most like a proper ship out of all the official Pirates sets.
September 14, 200915 yr Hope for a hurricane and the fuse will burn out. If I had to choose, I'd go with the BSB.
September 14, 200915 yr From the title of this I figured it would be asking witch one to buy. I would save the BSB, I like the coloring on it better than the SES
September 14, 200915 yr x2 - save the SES first and sell it and then buy a BSB As I like BSB much The price of them are very close, but if I do not remember it wrong the SES usually a bit more expenisive. BSB has been re release as legend but SES did not, much rare. Well, if the BSB is a original 1989 6285 MIS setz, i may save it first.
September 15, 200915 yr This is one of those classic battles like (Mc.Donalds or Burger King), (Pepsi or Coke), ( MAC) or PC), (Red or Blue ) And then BSB vs SES. Both are awesome. Personal preference is what it comes down to I guess As for me I would save the BSB as it is just plain awesome
December 23, 200915 yr Well I would save the SES and cherish it forever. I think the BSB is ugly. Not as ugly as the RBR but ugly none the less. Just my opinoin though
December 23, 200915 yr unfortunately I dont own either. However id have to choose the BSB because it is much more realistic and the first ship of the pirate theme. It also has somewhat of a deck above the gun deck...
December 23, 200915 yr unfortunately I dont own either. However id have to choose the BSB because it is much more realistic and the first ship of the pirate theme. It also has somewhat of a deck above the gun deck... Why does everybody say the BSB is more realistic. It can't be because of design because the ship looks like a cross between a brig and a spanish gallen because of the way the captains cabin and rear deck are situated. The color scheme is also not much better. You have a base brown and then a patch of white along the gun deck and then you have solid black with bright yellow triming. It looks so ugly the way the black clashes with the yellow and the white. Now granted the SES has some serious color scheme problems too but to say the the BSB is more realistic than the SES is a little too much.
December 24, 200915 yr BSB, I just think it looks better overall and, as someone else said, It is very easily converted to a different faction. No printed sails.
