Just wondering if anyone has any idea what/if the plans were for this product. I keep hearing from people who have drafted the Ship Models for Napoleonic naval games, has the product been orphaned or do the new(?) owners of the intellectual have plans?

Your answer is here. IMO the game jumped the shark long ago. The first few sets were good but then got weirder. Target has started selling packs again for 99cents--Rise of the Fiends. Not good for Napoleonics IMO. Of course, I had to feed my addiction and buy a pack yesterday. Will I ever learn?

The rev war set was great for filling in ships for my wooden ships and iron men game!

CPBelt22 Feb 2010 8:10 p.m. PST

Katz is right. Great sets. I bought tons of it!

Wizkids LLC was bought by Topps who then closed down the company.

During the Topps period Wizkids continued to release product, although primarily of a increasingly odd fantasy variety

Wizkids assets were sold (including pirates) to a major licensed product company, but there have have been no new product announcements to date from the newly reformed Wizkids concerning pirates. Their current focus appears to be heroclix, and to a lesser degree horrorclix/actionclix

Many of the ships and beasts work well in Man O' War, too.

We still have a bunch as well, earlier editions too.

I have a complete unpunched set of the first (Spanish Main) and second (Crimson Coast) waves of these ships. What do y'all think they might be worth if I offered them for sale?

Anyone have a clue?

Captain Gideon23 Feb 2010 10:09 p.m. PST

I have all the sets and all but one are complete but to answer your question,i really doubt you'll be able to get alot for these sets.

I've been selling extra Rares and some Super Rares on eBay and these are the only ones that can fetch some money.

If you were to sell them on eBay you might get maybe $120.00 USD per set,but it all depends on who is watching the auction's.

You'll never be able to get back what you paid for the sets i should know,because i've tried to sell some extra sets i had.

I was able to sell one set for $99.00 USD plus shipping but i had to relist it several times,and each time i had to lower the amount that i was asking for the set.

Good luck to your selling efforts.'

Thanks Captain.

Just to let people know i'm planning on selling all my Pirates sets.

My friend who passed away last Nov used to help me collect and play the game,but after he died my interest in the game went down the crapper.

So i want to sell all the sets which i believe is 13 or 14 of them.

Do you by chance have any of these cards remaining? I'm very interested in the American fleets, specifically the Pirates of the Revolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
