Frustration Free packaging is anything BUT. The toy itself is awesome but the packaging (or should I say lack there of is not right for gift gifting).

First, about the frustration free packaging – It certainly lacks the presentation appeal of the usual cellophane window box. But for parents it’s a whole lot easier to remove from the package without all those plasic coated wires and straps holding the toy in place.
That said, this toy is much cooler looking than the average toy pirate ship. It comes with two small pirate action figures. But there is room enough for a dozen more plastic buccaneers of the same 2 inch size. The only drawback about this sort of toy is that the modular assembly isn’t as versatile for an old time sailing as it is for modern vehicles such as space shuttles. It is difficult to create new ships by re-assembling the individual parts. But all the pieces float by themselves so a child could break this big ship into several smaller ones. This makes for a nice naval battle in the pool or bathtub.

This toy is so well packaged, so well made, so well thought out – for those that play with it, those that invest in it, those that tidy up after it!

This thing is huge. I wasn’t expecting something so big, so it was a nice surprise. As always, Amazon had it here in one business day with no hassles.

My son got this for his 4th birthday. As soon as it was out of the package, he started playing and hasn’t really stopped since. It is great for in the tub and out too. The octopus’s tenticles come off, which is tons of fun for him. His does have some problems getting the pieces snapped back together, but I think with practice it will get easier. Definately recommend this. He also got another Matchbox little pirate set with the shark. I recommend the two together-makes for a lot of imaginative play.
