Fans of LEGO from yesteryear will know that this is a reimagined recreation of the classic LEGO Pirates set from the 80s. It consists of 2,509 pieces and features the Imperial Blue Coats Fortress along with a ship and an army of Minifigures. It’s the 3D base that it all sits on that impresses me the most, recreating the 3D baseplate from the original.

LEGO VIP members can now pickup this set early thanks to the early access period, simply make sure you’re logged into your VIP account. General release is 7th July.

This set is a remake of the much desired 6276 Eldorado Fortress from 1989. Interestingly, the clipper in this remake is also a remake from the boat in 6277 Imperial Trading Post from 1992.

Being a kid during this era I’ve always admired these sets in the catalogs. I never could afford them back then however, so I’m really taken with this new set. The raised baseplate is replaced by a brick built ramp and the architecture of the build is remarkably faithful to the original despite using modern parts and colors and having a lot more parts included. The piece count for this remake comes in at a respectable 2,509. Some of the printing is really close to the 1980’s versions while other imperial guards from the past decades are also referenced in the minifigures. 

The set will appear in stores from July 4th and retail for £189.99 ($/€214,99).
