I've watched a few reviews on YT of this set, and DEAR LORD, that dock/jetty is ugly as hell. Not only the choice of black bricks, but the way it's constructed it screams 1980s not a modern remake of 2023. HUGE disappointment. More than before I'm leaning towards passing on this one...

@Lion King posted this idea of a Pirate-themed CMF series, I'd LOVE this to happen:

This would be a dream!

omg yes! I saw the first post and was trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with it. amazing build, fix the legs, and it will be ace

With the release of the Eldorado Fortress 10320, I do keep my fingers crossed we'll get some cool Pirate minifig in the next wave.

I found these dual molded legs at my local BAM station, does anyone know if they're new? Cannot find them on Bricklink

Torso is from the Highwayman minifigure, from series 17: https://brickset.com/sets/71018-16/Highwayman

Thank you, appreciate this being taken into consideration. I have a soft spot for smaller Pirates builds and I hope we get to see some cool small & medium-sized projects!

I've found these dual molded legs at the BAM station today, I've never seen them before:

Can there be 3 categories? Small, medium and large builds. I'd personally LOVE to see some small, clever builds, but I can imagine they would stand no chance with something that has +3000 pieces. I don't want this competition to end up being 'go big or go home'.

Is that confirmed That Sabre Island will be a GWP?

can you share a link please? can we make a rule that every suggestion is this thread should also come with an embedded image? saves everyone's time searching online

FYI, the female pirate torso is a new print - it's not the same as the PoBB one:

I can't believe some of you have nothing better to do than complain about inclusion of female characters in a kids toy lol. Get a grip. Out of ALL the things that one can moan about this set, this is like the most trivial thing.

what's that?

It makes ZERO sense for my brain that this alt build doesn't use any extra pieces. Like howwww? Amazing build!

Yup, hence the splash of red on the ship. That could've been blue for example. The more I look at those photos the less hyped I am.

Ok after a few minutes of looking at the official photos: - I dislike the ship, looks too blocky, I wish they used different colours for it (definitely ditch the black) - I hate the fact that they're using black bricks for the dock AND the crane. I know it's a throwback to the original set, but I bet it'd look so much better with reddish brown pieces - the crane looks a bit too big IMHO - the male pirate could have AT LEAST a new torso OR a new face - I like the female pirate torso Overall I'd rate it 6/10, but taking the nostalgia factor away it's a 5/10. Definitely not a day one purchase, may wait a few months for it to dip in price. Unless there's a pirate-themed GWP. PoBB beats this at every angle. Secretly, when the news about a new Pirate set leaked, I was hoping for an actual Pirate set, not Soldiers one. But oh well, I'm happy they're bringing something back...

I am beyond excited to see this!!! Wow. It's up on Lego website now: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/eldorado-fortress-10320 That being said - I'm quite disappointed we're not getting new torso designs for the pirates :( EDIT. Wait, I think the female pirate has a new torso? How do I convince my gf now that I need a new Lego set lol

Ohhhh that would be NEAT!

100% agree, I actually keep my fingers cross it's not a ship

Noooo wayyy!!!! I silently would love to get another Pirates-related set, but I have a feeling it will be a Soldiers set, prob an expanded Sabre Island-type of set?

Only today I found out that there is a tambourine piece. I just wish there was a reddish-brown variant, instead of this pink one:

oh man, I'd love to have those two as minifigs, but no way Lego would ever green light this
