My pirate ship did have some custom parts for the hull, but it most certainly didn't look like that Tugboat. The hull came in several pieces, each of which could be easily repurposed for other uses because they had rectangular edges for other pieces to attach to. I don't think this is just nostalgia messing with my memory. The damn ship didn't even float, because water leaked through the gaps between the pieces. I admit that I may be biased because of the particular selection of Lego sets at the stores in my area. But if Lego itself hasn't changed, at least their marketing focus seems to have changed.
