    Just being pedantic but the bluecoats leader is not an admiral. He's called Governor Broadside. He was only available in the Caribbean Clipper and Fort Eldorado sets. He seems to wear his hat with a different coloured feather in the 2 sets.

    100% Correct!...a Unique Figure of all time :)

    I can't wait to get this! My boyfriend has been collecting the "American-style" modulars (bank, detective, cinema), and this has convinced me to start collecting the European style ones (which I'll count this among). I've just bought the Pet Shop seen as it's retiring, then I need to get the Parisian Restaurant, and then this. I think we'll have a competition to see who has the best looking street. :)  

    and you both can combine all Modulars together for best looking city system ;)

    Surely that plastic is grateful to finally feel oxygen and light. How did it feel tearing opening something so old? It's interesting that the head came attached to the torso in the package. Looking forward to your next unboxing.

    ```Cheers Mate!....In Old sets, the heads are always attached to Torsos...

    Feels soo great to open an old set, just went back in memories when i was 7 years old :)...

    Myself, i dont like to keep sets sealed for ever,,,all my sealed sets for sure will be built soon or later ( depends on space i have )....

    Yup..be ready for the next unboxing...

    cheers

    Cheers

    agree with first 3 ranks. But i will give the Lord Of The Ring Ship last Rank and will pull the vintage Caribbean Clipper to Rank 4.

    Also, the 6268 and 6259,,i would prefer them to be at first 5 ranks..

     

    cheers

    Welcome to Pirates mate! :)

    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

    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! :)

    Long time lurker here. My pirate loot of the past month made make my first post :pir-classic:

    I just got a 6257 Castaways raft, 6270 Forbidden Island and 6276 Eldorado Fortress all in good condition for €110 in total. Last month, I got a 6277 Imperial trading post in good condition for €95 and a like new 6274 Caribbean Clipper for only €45! Seriously, that Clipper had only been assembled once and was kept dust-free ever since. I got really lucky on that deal.

    Couldn't be happier to finally own all these childhood dreams.

    Awesome Deal and sets! :)

    Now complete your happiness by sharing photos pirate_blush.gif

    If there's anyone who is just getting into pirates, there are a few non-set LEGO items that are relatively inexpensive NIB but have brand new minifigures, stuff like the 2009 Pirate magnets (from before they started gluing the figures onto the magnets) and the Jack Sparrow Nintendo DS game cases--no one seems to want those for some reason.

    If any Vintage Sets, then let me know ;)
