The idea is nice but sadly it misses the mark with relation to design, why for example is the set on a yellow base rather than the brilliant island baseplates from Sabre and Shipwreck Island 6265 and 6260. The highlight of the set includes a blue pirate (the favourite at the time) and a barrel (storing his supplies, maybe).

In honesty I hated it when I first got it, but it grew on me, it’s nice to have a smaller ship and it should be noted that this is the only pirate ship that was commanded by someone other the Redbeard, that someone was Ironhook(its a shame that the second attempt at this really failed). The souvenir guide also provided information about each exhibit including its name, how many pieces it contained and the number of hours it took to construct. This year saw the inclusion of a brand new faction, for that faction we received a ship and large base for them to operate out of, I view the pirate themed sets released this year as simply placeholder something to keep the public happy while you released the impressive sets later, but for the imperials this year saw a great couple of sets, ok the officer to soldier ration was way off, but still at this point in time we see three evenly strengthen factions squaring off against each other. Redcoats and Bluecoats are about the same but another nation would add a new range of possibilities such as alliances or new wars to be fought. In 2022, a Lego Pirates-themed land was introduced to Legoland Discovery Centre in Birmingham and Manchester, based on the Lego Pirates toy theme.However, the 2011 (brick beards bounty and similar) is more accurate as the marines have a fort and small rowing boats, however, the next line of pirate sets (2015/16) got it all wrong again by giving the navy forts and big guns when they should've had a ship of their own, and that's why I miss classic pirates, TLG, the navy deserve ships too! Ironhook commands the masted raft 6261 Raft Raiders (also known as 6261 Ironhook's Escape Craft) (1992) and the small pirate ship 6268 Renegade Runner (1993). The Black Seas Barracuda was also the inspiration for the 30th Lego Ideas set 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay, released in 2020, which can be built either as a pirate shipwreck on an island or the pirate ship due to its modular design.

All of our custom LEGO® accessories are produced in high quality ABS plastic - the same plastic used by LEGO®. On the Plus side you do receive another precious Redcoat Soldier to add to your collection, and the basic pirate in the set is relatively interesting because his print was only released last year, ohh and you get another monkey (yay Monkey). Our flintlocks, shakos, knapscaks, and coats are all designed to fit seamlessly with your LEGO® minifigures. Lego adopted this idea and created a whole new faction, my only real gripe with the Redcoats is the fact that Lego did not make any effort to give anyone a new face design, the simply inverted the colours again swapping black for brown and vice versa. While history may differ to the made up history of in-universe lego, I would say that bluecoats are the Royal Navy, and that redcoats are the Royal Marines, these two "parts" of the boaty forces of the British worked together (although a naval officer would've been more importent than a marine).This otherwise sounds very brave, although in Pirate Comic he then remarks that they are still too young to die. Remember the raft from 1989 (Castaway’s Raft 6257) well here we have its replacement, now I prefer the original but this is probably due to the fact that I owned that one first. Many have compared this to the Eldorado Fortress and said that this set is found lacking, I have never understood this, why are people comparing a Fortress with a trading post, one fortifies and one trades, they are supposed to be different.

To offset this the British government quickly hired contingents of German auxiliaries alongside the regular army units in campaigns from 1776. The new faction is often seen as the British (with the blue being French) this decision is only due to the fact that in the 18 th and 19 th century the British where famous for their Redcoats (that even being their nickname at the time). The large black corner wall is very rare now and to also include a cannon and shark, pure brilliance.So this is my attempt to make a complementary set to Pirates of Barracuda Bay that focuses on the Imperials. Another stange element of this set is that it does not come with instructions, I know they are not really needed, but still all the other impulse sets came with instructions so why not this one? The first level has some small piers and a crane, the second has a prison cell, an office for the officer, storage, and the governor's residence.
