I love the 3286!
It is a great ship and looks magnificent! :love:
I have one and I was so happy when I got it for christmas.

I would suggest that ship,
I think it is one of the best playmobil has ever made.

I'd agree with Wolf Knight and Abbott Hamilton about the 3286.  It's also available as the 3940 which is the same ship but with shooting cannon.  (They shoot a proper cannon ball).  The 3286 was the North American version of the 3940.  This is the most realistic pirate ship and even has room for two cannon in the captain's cabin just as would be the case in real life.

Another good ship would be a 3750, old but a nice uncluttered design.  Spares are probably still available from DS.

All these would be eBay buys unless you were lucky enough to find a 3940 or 3286 new in a shop.


Wait!
They have a shooting version of cannons? :love: :love: :love:
I may have to order a few from ebay.de to put in my 3286. :)

I agree with the other posters who love 3286.  It's Playmobil's biggest, and I think best, ship.  It was only discontinued about a year ago, so you might be able to find it in some local toy stores.  If you don't want to spend so much, the smaller ships are very nice too at very reasonable prices.

3286 by far is the best pirate ship playmobil has ever made . The cannons at both sides with their openings make it a mighty manowar and its mean and powerfull. i only have 3 of them but love them all ... would be nice to build an armada of say 12 of these ships !!!!!!

Agreed! Deffinatly, deffinatly agreed! :love:

For those of us who don't have enough cash to spend on 12 of these massive beauts,
It makes a great ship to lead a bunch of other smaller ships to battle. ;)

Well, assuming that 3286 is the flagship...being a ship of the line and all.... ;D ;D ;D

then i have four 3750 to act as destroyers and three 3860 (all after the red pirate corsair) type ships to act as cruisers...

 :P i am just kidding (i created the thread) but maybe you can show it to your son and he will choose what he thinks best.
