Total Nostalgia
on July 8, 2023
Posted by: Slags650
This set is a total nostalgic throwback and such a fun build. Lego and Pirates is like PB&J - they just pair together so well. Put this on the shelf next to Barracuda Bay and set sail for the next adventure.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great throwback

Oh man the second I saw this I HAD to have it so I ordered it. I wanted this set soooo bad when I was a kid but we were pretty poor when I was growing up so Lego sets were something purchased maybe once a year for a birthday or Christmas. I was really impressed by the details and especially the playability of this set, even though I only display my sets. Well, I did kinda play with this one for a while like I was 9 years old again. The only thing I don’t really care for is the ship. It’s ok, but it’s not great. I’d rather they leave it out and charge a little less but it’s fine. Great Minifigs too, although I wish they’d go back to the basic smiley face especially for soldier Minifigs. In my opinion they should all look the same. The build is fun, not too repetitive, but good luck with those two palm trees, putting the palm leaves on seemed really difficult to get them all the way in place. Overall a great build experience, nothing was confusing. What a great set and I’m happy to finally have it.

Great design, great nostalgia

This set has a fantastic design and had a great build process. The terrain design for the base is outstanding and the build techniques on the ship was awesome. I uad purchased two of these to make a larger version, and had to add some parts to the top dection to connect it how i wanted, but the design of the set itself was perfect for a stand alone fort. The only criticism i have is that the white print on the figures could stand to be stronger as it doesnt quite match the white of the legs, but overall, the set looks amazing, and the build was fantastic.

So close!

This is an excellent revamp of the original set, and I'm thrilled to have the original bluecoats back. The modular layout is nice, and the inclusion of the ship from the Imperial Trading Post is wonderful.
Unfortunately, the bar has been set extremely high for these remakes: Sets like Barracuda Bay and the Lion Knight's Castle capture the *spirit* of the theme and expand on that using modern techniques. This set is, unfortunately, just a straight remake of the original. I'd just like to see more.
Barracuda Bay was filled with easter eggs and references to the original theme like the Kahuka statue, and had a fully detailed interior. Lion Knight's Castle featured angled wall sections, thatched roofs, a grindstone, and lots of other details that were never found on any original castle sets.
This set feels a bit devoid of details by comparison to those other remakes. There's even a few things that are downgrades from the original: you can't put cannons through the new wall design, and the ship doesn't have the cargo hatch that was present on the original, and there's a lack of proper doors, and of course the palm trees are the modern ones which somehow don't look as good as the ones from 30 years ago.
The design language of the set is great and I'm thrilled to see an Imperial Fort at all (certainly a pretty niche subject matter!), but imagine if this was a modular port town with a tavern, a barracks, an officers' quarters, and maybe a blacksmith. There'd be so much more room for storytelling and an exploration of the pirates theme! (Search for the SleeplessNight MOCs on Rebrickable to see what I mean.)
Fundamentally, this set is trying to complete with the original Eldorado and modern fan creations, and lands in the middle. It's good, but isn't more exciting to look at than the original set. I'm worried that Lego will interpret poor sales of this set as a lack of demand for pirates -- that's not the case! But please give us more content that's "inspired by" the originals like Barracuda Bay and Lion Knight's Castle, not a straight remake like this.

Epic classic!
on August 7, 2023
Posted by: Catta
As a (currently) adult LEGO fan, this set is an amazing comeback of a classic theme that left a deep mark on my childhood. I jumped on it the minute it was announced and reserved a set before the official launch date! @LEGO team, if you go over these, please give us more remakes or new sets of the classic themes (Pirates, Castle, Space, etc.) as I am very sure they will be huge successes.
This set has it all, and then some more in terms of detail, play-ability, complexity, etc. Figures are amazing, new building techniques, terrain building and more. For me it will sit exactly between Pirates of the Barracuda Bay (21322) and Lion Knight's Castle (10305).

Premium product should have premium printing
on August 3, 2023
Posted by: StoneCartoon553
This set is great and an amazing Addison to my pirates collection and more like it would be GREATLY appreciated but there is one main issue. The white printing on the soldiers is terrible and really ruins the figures. The worst part about this issue with printing is that it’s been going on for a while and the advertising on the box is false because of it. It’s really disappointing. I think issue deserves needs to be fix immediately or else the company’s slogan of “only the best is good enough” would be false. So please when it comes to making your premium products make sure its premium.
I would recommend this to a friend!
