Great review, Thanks very much. By the way am I tripping or have you added elements to the box to make it look 3D? That's the same for me

Brilliant review, I'm loving the re-run of the film in there, good job, very entertaining I'm loving that wheel and the Bell. a Must by I'd say.

Thanks for the review I'd agree about the size of the set and the pricing. Completely agree about adding in some red coats, two in the whole theme seems a tad poor. I think this is the first set I haven't voted outstanding in the theme yet. Thanks again for the review

Damn! I pre-ordered via the states for that too, just incase they didn't have em over here. I think I'll just wait like everyone else in the UK the next time. Thanks for sharing

Thanks again for another great review I was going to hold off buying this one until I got my other sets, but after reading this review and the pretty pictures, I'm going to have to get it straight away. I love the detail and extras they have given us in such a small set, great! Thanks again.

Such a great 2 liner to describe this ship down to a T I'd say

It might be, but with no box or instructions I'm not sure if I got the 1989 or 2002 set! cannons are crossed at the top so it could be the last of 6285 from 1992 or the legend set, although they did advertise it as 6285. If anyone knows of a way I can tell the difference, I'd love to know There have been a fair few deals going this week on ebay to be honest, I managed to get the following, which all arrived as described the day after the bidding ended: Black Seas Barracuda: No Box, No Instructions: £55 Enchanted Island: Box and Instructions and 10 extra pirate minifigures: £32 Forbidden Island: Box and Instructions: £22.25 Castaway's Raft: No Box, Yes Instructions: £2.54, just bought the box on bricklink for a fiver! ALMOST snagged Fortress Eldorado Box and Instructions for £42.50 but it jumped upto £82.96 in the final 10 seconds.......still won it tho Somehow managed to win Fort Legoredo: No Box, Yes Instructions for an amazing £26

people in the UK can now get their potc sets from LEGO.com, looks like it has been officially launched on their website

well I bought it on ebay for £55 without instructions or box if that helps you any

Available in the UK through Amazon for sure, just order a set that will get to me this saturday through their lego store. Called up Lego, adviser first told me that launch wasn't until June, but apparently she was looking at the swedish site for some reason. So no official release date other than "soon" from Lego and if you're in Sweden lego expect it to launch in June!

HA! Gutted, looks like the £210 on QAR and Whitecap and an expected £53+Parcelforce handling of £13 is going to be a complete waste of money and time Just called up the TRU in Edinburgh and the lady paused a bit before telling me all they had was megablocks and krack'n attack'n, might just pop down later to see what the script is.

Thanks Fugazi, you from Edinburgh too I take it? Yeah this place overall is really friendly and inviting, it's great to have such a community around I'm just waiting to get some pirate sets that haven't been reviewed yet so I can actually start making a contribution around here haha. Thanks for your welcome, hope this finds you well.

So much for the UK being a major growth market that their keen to build on! or maybe their trying to build up all this anticipation for us Brits to go panic buying them all when they eventually get released here I suppose .............................but i hate waiting on mail!!!! I like to buy the large expensive sets first and work my way down, it's always nicer to think you don't need to spend as much as you already have, plus it's nice to spread the excitment of a theme over a period rather than all at once

Thanks for the review, I like others, am pleasantly surprised at how the tavern looks. I think I must have a problem or my lego judging skills aren't upto much, but i'm unable to vote anything less than 5 on all the sets so far, hell, I think i'd vote 6 if there was that option haha! Thanks for the pictures too, great job

Something tells me (that gut feeling!) that my qar and whitecap being shipped from the us are going to end up in customs for 2 weeks! if I end up being able to by it here before it arrives, I think I might actually cry!

They are out in Germany???????

I just recieved Enchanted Island and Forbidden Island today and I can see on my tracker that my Eldorado Fortress will be here before 1pm tomoz, nice way to start the week off plenty o building this weekend!

What a brilliant scene, I love it. Not sure about the crane in the fort personally as it makes me think it's still under construction................or maybe it is I'm loving all the activity, the parrots copying the girl and the guard made me laugh. Thanks for sharing this

Would have been nice to have the coins in the Isla de la Muerta set with skull and cross bone coins like in the film rather than the numbers, but oh well.

I'm prety surprised that this set has an overall rating so far of above average and that most of the comments have been not to buy, wait until black pearl or wait for a sale. As I previously mentioned, I'm not a fan of the interior at the back at all nor am I all that pleased with an open cabin or the bland cannon use, but that does not detract me one little bit from the overall delight of the ship itself. Apart from the IFS, I think this has to be one of the best ships out there now, it's extremely unique and well structured. The lantern definately has the wow factor for me and i'm loving the use of all those bones! The only major flaw in the theme at the moment, for me, would be the lack of red coats. Hopefully this can be rectified sometime in the future, now that we have the IFS as the Dauntless, perhaps creating the interceptor in the future will balance this out. I couldn't vote anything less than 5 - Outstanding! just an absolute must have, I wonder if anyone who actually buys the set will be disappointed? Great review, fantastic photographs, very well presented. It's made me even more excited about recieving my one (should be here by Wednesday YAY) Thanks for the review TheBrickster.

Brilliant White Fang, despite the displeasure regarding the gold bars, I'm actually really surprised at the set. Nice Job

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I love it! It's given me a lot of food for thought. I love the integration of a rock formation, I also love the leaf like lanterns you have there. It certainly captures the spirit of adventure and the lego humour. Really nice work, it has brightened my day for sure

DITTO, I'm pretty disappointed in the entire back interior of the ship from what i've seen in photographs, but i'll leave my final decision on that until I see it up front.

Using the jungle leaves as sails is such a great idea, pratical, no. aesthetically appealing? oh yes from your descriptions it sounds like she is going to be a beauty! hopefully you can fix the photo quality nice job
