This set has everything a good playset needs-opposing characters, fort/gate like structure and boats+treasure :D (+I love how these old pirate sets have yellow bricks for sand).... been looking for detalied review on youtube, and finnaly its here! great review!
Hey thanks Miha, glad I could get it out for ya. Always find it interesting how little alot of these older sets are covered on youtube. And completely agree, great set through and through
Not only did this theme mark the debut of the first version of the crocodile, but several "arch" pieces also made their first appearances in this year. More interestingly, this and the "Robo Guardian" from Spyrius which you reviewed are the first of twelve sets to have the 1x6 brick w/bow in red, and the first of seventeen appearances of the 1x12x3 "arch" in black. The whip pieces were introduced in this theme, appearing the most often in black and green. Every other color it appeared in, only appeared in one set each, before being retired two years ago. This is also the first of six standard sets (apart from bulk bricks) to have the 16x32 base plate in blue, with one of these being re-released in 2017 under a different set number before being retired. Even some more minute elements such as the 1x2x2 "brick corners", inverted roof tiles, as well as 6x10 plates were introduced during '94, with the set also being the first appearance of the 4x8 plate in yellow.
I love the Islanders theme and don't have any of the sets. I have just one random figure so far. I'd love to get into eventually (preferrably luck into something in a used haul or random good deal).
Some people do not like those old palm trees because they find them difficult to build due to the stiffness of the pieces. However, I think those old palm trees are great. Great review though!
Actually, it was very common for pirates and other sailors to wear eye patches, even if they didn’t lose an eye. It was because the eye covered by the patch was accustomed to the dark, so they could just switch the eye that the patch covered if they went inside the ship so they could see.
I'm still suspecting the imperial guard has some cruel methods of punishing pirates that correlate with so many of them having eye-patches ;-) I really like this set and would you believe it? I don't own it yet. :-D Maybe the king Kahuka figure in this set is his son? Maybe a prince? :-) Just Imagine... :-D
@@TieTheLegoGuy when it comes tp islanders I only own enchanted Island and a few extra islanders. My to get list still is long enough to keep me busy 😂
@@TieTheLegoGuy The Neptune Discovery Lab is one of the best raised baseplate sets out there. I mean it comes with 2 raised baseplates... just amazing!

Hey, maybe this is King Kahuka's summer vacation villa where is resting from his duties :-)
I miss those golden coins and palm trees too...
Haha I can see this, gotta take a break from all the kingly duties. And yeah those pieces were the bomb 🔥
Great review man. Vintage lego is the best.
There really is something special about those older sets 🔥

Interesting, yeah pirates honestly has alof of exclusive pieces I find, part of the reason I love the theme 👌
This is an awesome looking set! I would’ve totally wanted this if it were around when I was a kid!
Same, came out just when I was getting into LEGO but back then I was more into space. Such a good theme 🔥

Great review tie really awesome set 😃
Thx Senor Blue
I love this Set! This is my Favorite Island and Captain IronHook is my Favorite LEGO Pirate!
Its a pretty good one, has a ton going for it 🔥
I didn’t know that King Kahuka was a Master of Disguise! The King is very crafty! LOL Nice review Tie!
Haha I'm loving all these theories of the great King in the comments. King Kahuka is a man of mystery...
Great review tie. I really like the builds of the Islanders.
Same here Karma, such a good theme, hoping something like it comes out in the near future
For such a dated set...it's really cool!
👍👏🙋🏻♂️
Completely agree Andrea, old but gold 👌
Awesome
I remembering owning this set in the 90s! Thanks for the nostalgia trip! Can’t wait to check out more of your reviews.
Hey thanks Tim, and happy to :)
great review

Hey thanks man, and interesting point, some of them are a little stiff to connect for sure
Nice
I never had this set but I looked at it ALOT in the stores. I wish I had gotten it.
Its a pretty good one, I ended up buying it second hand, pretty expensive sealed now

Really like your comment here. I love history and never read that, appreciate the info man 🤙
I've always thought these "hats" were hair pieces!
Hmm maybe they are, never thought of that
This was one of my firsts as a child. Definitely my favorite pirate set. Wish the boats had no stickers on them. Those are not aging well.
Its really good I think too, and yeah... stickers, not my favorite lol
Imo vintage lego is almost always better than the current lego

Hey like the theory Jonas 😉 and haha this could be, I can imagine the Imperials doing something like that. Also... can't believe you don't own it lol

Oh same... I know the feeling, aquazone and insectoids have been tempting me lately lol
