Staslegomaster Posted September 18, 2016 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! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted September 18, 2016 What a nice coincidence. One of my upcoming MOCs will be featuring this katamaran. You can already see it on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staslegomaster Posted September 19, 2016 Hi, VintageLegoEra. Sorry, I mixed numbers. I meant 1788 -LEGO pirate chest of 1995. Hope you make its review, too. javascript:; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mon-o-mat Posted September 19, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Islanders would swim back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staslegomaster Posted September 20, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 21, 2016 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And besides the temple and the baloon there was a black biplane of lord Sinester there. - perhaps that will help you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adventurers are like a parody near to pirates. And their best mini figure is Achu. I have it - it is very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
