My son, 5, got this from Santa Claus. It says 6+ on the box. It was pretty easy to put together and he has no trouble playing with it. The shark is fun and the Lego people that come with the set fit in its mouth. My son especially loves the shark. The raft comes apart when the shark ”attacks” it easily and goes back together easily, too.

Mega Bloks Pyrates -Shark Escape Feature
I’ve read the reviews of this toy and felt strongly enough to post my own. It is unrealistic to compare a lego style build project to the durability of a tonka truck. My sons and I have done many builds of both Mega Bloks and Legos. The ship is a remarkable value. It is comparable in value to the more expensive toy ships Black Pearl and Empress, of Pirates of the Carribean fame. It is a simpler build, easily completed, and very sound. The main peices snap together and do not come apart. The main mast can wiggle loose, but a little Shoe Goo helped that. Having to glue parts on build design toys is common.
My boys, ages 11, 7 and 5, love the ship. They have many others, but this one takes their fancy. It has the special ‘wow’ factor. And unlike the more expensive boats, this one actually rolls across the floor on small wheels.
Mega Bloks has achieved an amazing accomplishment with its Pyrates and Dragons lines of toys. The Scathe is in keeping with that tradition.
It’s a wonderful value in today’s world of hot air, and I’m darned glad my sons have one.
