Maybe Skull island got the short end of the stick? It was Lagoon Lock up that kept it at bay tbh. ? 8 hours ago, azog said: I totally agree with your list here! I feel pretty proud to own 5 of these sets! Which 5? I own RIR, EF, ITP, All 2015 sets, and my wife and I made our own lagoon lock up/ saber island combo set. We used grey instead of white for it. Its the 2009 sets that I need to invest more money into ? As a kid I had RIR, ITP, Lagoon Lock up, forbidden island, and a bunch more that are not in this list.

KenAdams Posted November 22, 2016 Nice video! The top 3 were a given, although the order could shuffle depending on personal preference... i'd put Eldorado first. Big shock for me was seeing Forgotten Island so high, which is not that great of a set IMO. Several candidates (definitely Skull Island) could have topped that one.

Captain Pirate Man Posted November 22, 2016 The reason why I rated forbidden island rather high is because; for one it is a beautiful set, and two of I didn't I would get people talking about that one, just like folks have been talking about skill island. ? But as I said in the video, it is a flawed set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mazin Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Hi Mike! I must confess that i like this video better than the one about pirate ships ;) I mean, not that i have any knowledge about lego forts or ships at all, but still i find Your fort list better, in a matter of both - playability, design, and in the sentimental way ;) ...while with pirate ships i'm definitely much more a classic sets kind of a guy... just because new ships are bigger doesn't make them any better in my own eyes ;) well, i think that Your pick number one - imperial ship - is actually ugly and wouldn't bother buying it even for parts as i would prefer to buy more classic ships instead ;) Same with other classic ships... for me first soldier's ship is way better and prettier than this whole ugly black pearl, with terrible terrible sails ;) but... as this is my own opinion... going back to forts, as said above, i do agree with Your choices, especially the top of the list as the pirate rock fortress in my favorite pirate set next to barracuda ;) Edited December 1, 2016 by Mazin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Pirate Man Posted December 1, 2016 Thanks for your thoughts. These rank videos I make are meant to spark discussion, not as "such and such is THE best". Which I'm not saying that is your intent. I am just saying I appreciate your thoughts and opinions. I am not claiming to be any sort of authority. So there is no wrong answers here, I just appreciate the discussion. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaasEffekt Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Hello! As far as i can remember i was a huge Pirates theme fan back in the days, when i was a child. Now, it is a little bit different, but i still have the 6277 Imperial Trading Post, and it is one of my top favourite Lego sets of all time! I like that cargo ship in it very much! And of course the red coats! Rock Island Refuge is really a very nice set too! I remember in Hungary, it was named Jamaica Harbour. Deserves first place on your list! I totally agree with the first five. Edited December 10, 2016 by Lazer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Pirate Man Posted December 11, 2016 Thanks, I appreciate that. I absolutely LOVE ITP also. Honestly I didn't expect to like Eldorado MORE than ITP, but I did. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koalayummies Posted December 16, 2016 Sweet video, very nostalgic. Imperial Trading Post was one of my favorite sets as a kid and I still think its one of Lego's best sets ever. Also miss the Forbidden Island style multi-colored baseplates. Really miss the classic Pirates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted December 16, 2016 I hope LEGO will produce an updated Eldorado Fortress one day..... Nice list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Pirate Man Posted December 16, 2016 Thanks everybody!! I also wish they would do a reimagining of some of these sets. Not a complete rerelease, but maybe do a NEW ITP, EF, and RIR that keeps the spirit of the original but is a new design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LM71Blackbird Posted January 17, 2018 Great list! I would have put the Soldiers Fort (set #6242) on number 5 instead of 6, but that could be because I own it and am slightly biased... :) Nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
