Hi Woelf!
Thanks for clearing up the last question I asked about Jean Desailly.
A question came up on the Discord that I wanted to affirm.
Can Behemoth copy the specific ability of USS Lamon/Barracuda and ram another ship while submerged?
Thanks in advance!
Does a Reroll crew work with a crew such as Jean Desailly/George Washington Lebeaux etc.? I am unsure based on the Pirate code verbiage regarding rerollers. “You may re-roll crew abilities, provided that the effect of that ability applies to or is used by the ship.” Since the effect would be moving the enemy ship I am not sure if it counts.
Thanks!
Only seeing this now, RIP… Ill try and keep my eyes peeled in the future! The holidays were too crazy busy. Good stuff though!
Ya i hear you, you do see full booster boxes pop up pretty frequently. This seller offers good shipping discounts on quantity. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313162686968 ive bought a decent amount from him in the past. Even got SR’s from his packs.
Also if you want a good place to buy singles check out this site. you can pick up specific galleys if you want! https://www.raintyger.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_17&sort=20a&page=1&zenid=8kg5435rk7inhet09l4cs88a34
Good luck on your pulls! I actually really like RV SR pack. I love Galleys and the Star of Siam is a great ship. The chain shot specialist is fun too.
If you like Galleys buy the Barbary Coast packs they are loaded with primarily galleys… Even a Unique faction that has only galleys, the Barbary Corsairs! There are 4 masted galleys in that pack too as well as Savage Shores. Its Cool for sure though!
So Ive got a question for some of you more Dedicated Pirates collectors, Would you rather buy the Mysterious Islands: Message in a bottle pack or the Nordic Raiders Pack? In terms of both collectability and Game Play? I am wanting to pick one of them up. I feel like Nordic Raiders is the rarer of the two… but message in a bottle has better pieces?
Its always fun to pull a SR pack! I think the Barbary Coast & Revolution SR’s are a bit lackluster but infinitely better than the Oceans Edge Super Rare. From personal experience its a very bittersweet pull…. XD (They were just a reprint of Some Uncommons and they added glitter to them).
But i just bought 2 random packs of RoF. Hoping for that SR as its one of two SR packs i dont have. (SCS being the other)
Thats pretty good for a punched ship to be honest. I also saw one sell for about $33 unpunched after I posted that. As for Elsinore… That seems low for a scarce ship… Maybe its because its such a pile of junk in actual game play XD.
Lol! I’m glad to have followed your auctions while at sea, even if I couldn’t respond to the posts on here. It is pretty wild how valuable some of the stuff has gotten. An MI SE box just went for about $110.
Haha I was in a bidding war for that! I finally conceded because it just wasn’t worth it any more. XD
Its been fun watching all your auctions go up for sale. Sad that its coming to an end. Really neat that you tracked down all those pieces! Good luck with the OD sale!
I recently added the MI SR’s to my collection… The ability of Shaihulud & Cadara is only shoot actions according to the Pirate Code, but I dont understand that because isnt a Ram considered an attack?
Found some well priced lots of SCS Ships!! I grabbed 2 great ones but there are still 2 that include 5 masters from the set among other things…
I nabbed a Thomas Jefferson Plus 8 other American Ships from the set, and HMS Lord Kettering plus 8 other British ships from the set! $35 per lot!
I am so glad to already have a Sautez Le Requin that I bought years ago… That being said there is an auction on Ebay right now for one and the price is popping off! Its up to like $33 + Shipping, Just crazy for a 3 mast longship that doesn’t actually play that well….
I have been looking for the Silver Coffin for… I don’t know, ages, still can’t get my hands on her
Maybe if you buy a random booster off Ebay you will get it too XD
Nice pull! The FS Super Rares are pretty decent game-play wise. Granted, the Skin Flayer is expensive, and for the same amount of points you can get the Endeavor.
Thanks, I started playing back around when South China was in stores and I couldn’t EVER pull a SR pack… Until Now!! But yes it is pretty usable and yes shes expensive but we usually play 100 point matches so it can work. Plus its no fun if you just use the same OP ships every game. I tried to use the Elsinore… Didnt end well for me XD.
I have been playing again with one of my roommates and I decided for fun to buy a pack of F&S! Well I ended up getting this in the pack! I was pretty shocked to see this!
I haven’t been on here in a year probably but started playing with my roommate during Covid. Wow have prices shot up! Any body know if an Elsinore or Sautez has sold recently? Those are probably 2 of my rarest ships and am wondering what they have sold for lately.
I have a firepot specialist picture for a helmsman. not sure if it was a mis print of if the whole set was that way. But it was a DJC Helmsman with a firepot picture (nationality france).
Hi everyone, What would you put the value of a lot with Grinder and Terrox at? I was bidding for it but it got kind of high so i let it go. The seller contacted me and said another set is available if i want it but Ebay singles/small lots catch a ridiculous price sometimes. I know Grinder is arguably the best all around cursed ship, so i could see paying up to like $15 for it. but how rare is terrox?
Thanks all
I had too much faith in the world and only noticed something was fishy once i started noticing the scratch marks you get on the card where the white shows through. But i haven’t ever seen that in a brand new pack before. So i did the same and reported them on Ebay. Hopefully that will get shut down if they get two reports on the same thing.
This is just an Idea, but it would be interesting to go in on a case with somebody. Those would be much harder to forge fakes out of. I Recently picked up 4 FN and 3 SCS packs from different sellers and those were all legit. That seller is the only bad experience i’ve had.
Agree, I find with the cursed that there are definitely some ships that need to be used almost every time you make a Cursed faction fleet. (Hades’ Realm, Grim Reaper, or Grinder) I’ll end there. Don’t want to get too off topic XD
Cool! Thanks for watching. She is a really neat ship for them, one of their few that can achieve a high max speed. I like to run her with captain+helmsman and maybe oarsman, to keep a few spots open for gold. Now I want to use her again, so perhaps I’ll be able to fit her into one of the summer games I hope to play.
NP dude! its awesome that you put so much effort into Pirates! and thats actually the exact thing i did with her in my first game!
I can confirm this as well. I bought 6 revolution packs from him and multiple cards had areas with white marks and they were definitely pre punched. Glad somebody else noticed this as well!
Absolutely. Wizkids’ handling of the sea creature rules vs. creature “type” keywords (Titan, Sea Dragon, etc) was a colossal mistake. The sea creature rules are the base rules that apply to all the different creature types. The sea creature keywords (like Sea Monster) were written specifically for each type, which is where you get exceptions. Honestly it’s a disaster.
Well i’m glad its not just me who thinks so. So it would be safe to say that the Sea Monster keyword over rules the sea creature “type” then? Because without ramming the few decent sea monsters are significantly worse IMO.
