Transforming into 30 different ships, the Matchbox Mega Rig Pirate Ship lets kids sail the high seas for hours of enjoyment. Designed for children ages four and up, the Mega Rig Pirate ship starts as one big pirate ship. Kids can break the ship down into elements that make, or can be mixed and matched to create, an array of different vessels made for racing, going ashore, or battling against one another with friends.

Built for Adventure
With the Mega Rig Pirates Ship, living rooms, backyards, and bathtubs all become places pirate adventures. The different ship components are made from durable plastic, which holds up to playtime on land or water. Built with Styrofoam inside, the base of each ship will float, and with built-in yellow wheels, can also roll along the ground. Smaller pieces, like the treasure chests, have rounded snap bottoms that easily and firmly connect to other building components.

The pirate-ship set also comes with two pirate figures -- a captain and a crew member, a harpoon launcher, and a giant purple squid complete with suction tentacles.

Built for Adventure
Unlike some building toys, the Mega Rig Pirate Ship makes it easy for kids to jump right into playtime. Parents will appreciate this all-in-one building system comes already assembled as one giant vessel. And with easy-snapping pieces and picture references in the included booklet, detailed instructions aren't necessary for assembling the smaller ships. With so many scenarios and ships to build, each day can bring new opportunities for imaginative adventures.

With the giant squid to play with, this toy is ideal for bath time. To avoid a mess, be sure to rinse, drain out, and dry the items before storing them away. Outdoors and around the house are also good places for pirate adventures, but be aware that the tiny wheels work best on smooth, hard surfaces like wood or linoleum.

5 out of 5 stars Impatiently waiting for my son to tire of this one...... ;)   March 5, 2010
Proud Mommy & Just Your Average Gal (in the beautiful season-changing Midwest, USA)
I know the important thing is that my 5-going-on-6 year old loves this Pirate Ship. But I am so sick of playing Pirate that I can't wait for him to move on to something else!

I am actually thrilled that he loves this toy so much, as is the relative that bought it for him months ago (and paid, gasp, full price!!), and I have to say that I was against getting it because I thought he'd play with it a few times and then set it aside. Instead, he wants to play with it several times a week, re-enacting Pirate battles and Octopus takeovers, both in and out of the tub. While he does play with it on his own some, he enjoys it a lot more with someone else to play Good Pirate while he plays Bad Pirate.

It is really durable, goes in and out of the tub with ease, and has so many configurations it really does keep your imagination going.

My 3 year old son really enjoys this toy when he takes a bath. It does take up a bit of room in the tub so sometimes I only put a few pieces in at a time. The Octopus is great because it squirts water and has suction cups on the tenticles so I can hang it on the tub wall when my son is finished. There is a small compartment under the ships steering wheel that I can place the pirates and treasure chest in. It keeps my son entertained while I wash him.

What a great toy! My 4 1/2-year-old son has played with it consistently since Christmas! He also received the pirate's lair and loves mixing and matching the pieces. MATCHBOX Mega Rig Pirates Lair He plays with it both in and out of the tub. The figures are a little small (one of the pirates disappeared within the first week). Overall, he and his sister love playing with it.


4 out of 5 stars Coolest Pirate Ship Ever   February 17, 2010
DesignGirl (Richmond, VA)
Bought this on a whim for my six year old nephew for Christmas. Easy to put together. The octopus is really cool - it squirts water - and the ship floats, so the toy is perfect for playing with in the bathtub. Basically, my nephew couldn't stop playing with it. A REALLY good deal.

There are lots of ways to play with this ship - land, water, and many ways to put it together. I recommend.
