Such nostalgic views!!! Though it isn't the best set of king Kahuka, it would be a pearl of many collections. I hoped it would be reissued when Islanders were 25. Alas. So I devoted my LEGO project to them. And I wish that to you, too. Which is your favourite Islanders set? Mine is 1781.

Agree! :)

mmm..There is no Lego Set by this number ( 1781 )...What set you were trying to refer to?

In total, There are 6 Islander Sets:

-6236

-6246

-6256

-6262

-6264

-6278

-6292 ( Re-issue of 6278 )

My Favorite Set is of-course the 6278 ( The Enchanted Island )

I will make more Islanders Review Soon! :)

What a nice coincidence. One of my upcoming MOCs will be featuring this katamaran.

You can already see it on Flickr

Hi, VintageLegoEra. Sorry, I mixed numbers. I meant 1788 -LEGO pirate chest of 1995. Hope you make its review, too.

No worries Bud :)

Sure will do that

I think this is the best of the islanders sets. It just looks like I would imagine an islanders catamaran. Of course the colours could be different, and there could be a bit more details, but for the time it came out it is really good.

I quite agree it is marvelous for that time. I hope Islanders would swim back.

It seems this catamaran had been a part of a larger set but then it was issued separately because it was nice by itself. It was the same with Anubis Temple 5988 - it had been a part of a set which number began as 91..... Do you know this set? It is very rare.

You have a point there, but i dont think that it was separated or lifted from concept set. I believe this was done to cop with set 6279 as both these sets are matching each other nicely ( IMO ) :)

You mean starting with 91 or ends with 91? i dont think there is a set starts with 91

cheers

I remember seeing these sets on my old Lego catalogs when I was a kid. This subtheme was very colorful, but I never got to own any of these sets. Now that I'm seeing these pics, I kinda wish I did! Thanks for the review!

I'mnot sure about 91 because I saw it only once in Wicipedia. And besides the temple and the baloon there was a black biplane of lord Sinester there. - perhaps that will help you.
