The Imperial Trading Post is one of my favorite sets in my collection! However, it's not only expensive but rare to get in good used condition, let alone complete. I would say to save money for the Trading Post and keep looking for a good listing! It's a beautiful set especially when you add modern accessories! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At this point I don't know if we will see a remake of it either, not since they put the ship that goes to this in Eldorado. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JintaiZ Posted November 20, 2023 I voted for the Eldorado as it looks more aesthetically pleasing and is more faithful to the original. Both are great sets, but looking at the results, I feel like Eldorado doesn't get enough love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yperio_Bricks Posted November 20, 2023 I must say, i expected Barracuda to be ahead of Eldorado. By a smaller margin though. But i am really happy to see so many votes Next poll will start tomorrow! 4 hours ago, JintaiZ said: I voted for the Eldorado as it looks more aesthetically pleasing and is more faithful to the original. While Eldorado is faithful to the original, Barracuda is a original itself! One thing that was always irking me about Eldorado, even as a kid, are the holes in the walls. Especially at the gun emplacement. They made a good job though, disguising the other holes as embrasures in the remake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they hadn't included the ability to remove that ship, without MOCCING, I would probably voted Eldorado as well. As an ACTUAL island vs fort, I think the fort (Eldorado) is cooler.

zinnn Posted November 25, 2023 How is this even up for discussion, Pirates of Barracuda Bay is my fav Lego set EVER, Eldorado remake has so many faults it's nowhere near POBB... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the result of the poll speaks for itself I wonder what would happen if they would re-release POBB now. Would both sets on the shelves at the same time boost or diminish sales of each other?
