I bought this today. The printing's simply appaling. And there's way too many cannons in this theme: one here, another two in the fortress, two on the ship, one on the rowboat, one with the three pirates ... it's too much. It drives the price up.

Agree. They're quite ridiculous. Especially when they insist on depicting the darn things with the missiles.

Yeah, the cannons with the old system look much better! I've many of the new ones too, I'll use those on landbased fortifications and the other ones on the fleets. Perhaps I'll drill out the crosses in the gunbarrels of the new ones...

I like the uniform of the soldier, but I too prefer the version without the printed belts (soldier in 5139 fortress, and the DS-add on ones).
Btw, adding the crossbelts from the old redcoats to the new version without the printed belts, doesn't look too good IMHO; too much off the uniform gets hidden beneath the belts. Just a single white female  ;D shoulderbelt for a sword/sabre/rapier looks best on them, I think.

I gues it was changed for child safety reasons.

That and the little cannon balls tend to get lost. I can't remember ever having seen cannonballs belonging to my brother's ship.

Still, they could have done something better or at least include a pile of cannonballs thats one object. I never was one to actually shoot with such cannons anyways. 

With lego I just used it to keep count of how many shots they could fire.
So in that regard its not that bad now, I keep the projectiles but wouldnt ever use them. And aside from this the cannon designs look quite nice.

Interesting about the "rubber" .
But the set looks great!

I've gotten a few torches that are broken there (the flame).  Not to mention at the bottom of the torch.

I wonder if they changed this due to complaints?
