Pretty much, yeah :) Btw, to modernize Steve, is there a better torso to make him more 2020s-friendly?

legendary post :D I wanted to continue discussion and ask - which version of Steve is the one you treat as the "main" one? the one with light gray pants or blue pants?

Not sure if this was already shared here, but this torso screams Pirates to me! From set 60415

That's the one, thanks!

Whats the item number of the "pipe" piece that used for the plant pot (white, blue and pearl gold):

I don't have the 'fez' piece ( 85975 ) to test it, can someone who has all the pieces try to put this together and post a photo of the build? I want to understand how deep the fez goes inside the pot Cheers

What is the colour of plates used for the floor of this cave? Top one is dark tan and bottom?

Sounds like a fun project, looking forward to see the rest of your creations. This set totally gives me 90s vibe, simple yet playful. My only suggestion would be to swap the plates for one piece 11213 (Plate, Round 6 x 6 with Hole) - it would make it feel more "finished"

Real-life, quick preview of the set on Duck Bricks channel (bear in mind, when the video starts he talks about another set, so don't be confused):

Exactly my thoughts. Also the design of that monster / skull cave thing looks really bad. While the modular functionality may appeal to a lot of people, I fear it will not be very stable. One last complaint is that brick tower on top of the island - doesn't look very pirate'y, more like a transplant from a castle set. It'd be better if made out of brown "wood" bricks.

Love the video @PxChris, seeing (and hearing) how passionate and knowledgeable you and Paul are made this 20+ minute video pass in a blink. Obviously shout out to Beyond the Brick for capturing all that.

POBB, nothing comes even close. Lego absolutely nailed it with that set.

I agree, but I've been snowed with other work to have time to reconsider this design. Project TBC ;)

Lame results, but once again that shows that we NEED an official proper Castle wave from Lego. I'm not a fan of any of those winning sets

Hey @PxChris if you can hook me up with a good quality photo/scan of the map you want I can create a vector file from it

Update on my expansion, still in the works. Thanks to @iragm for the awning idea.

You mean under the dock? If yes, that's a work in progress, I've just filled the hole now for this render, my idea is that the back of this set is leading to the port town so you can add more modules to it. Thank you for other suggestions, I'm still experimenting with it :)

Fantastic! I'm planning to build this one too at some point:) I'm also working on an expansion of this set, adding the back to the "tavern" plus a small grocery seller stand. It's all still in progress, but you can see photo below. The only thing I'm not sure is if I keep the black panels for the ground, since they're supposed to be wood, I don't think the tavern would be built on them?

I agree! Why not pin it?

Before I clicked this thread, I thought POBB, but I must admit I'm warming up to the new Eldorado beaches, especially with the new "Slope Curved with Stud Notch left and right (80177 & 80178)" The only problem with them is that to make the beach long, it will take a lot of pieces, I wish they'd make a 4-stud (or more) wide pieces to match this style.

Just found this thread today, love it! Is there any chance someone managed to save the instructions? The link no longer works...

Incredible sets, you'll have a ton of fun building those! POBB is in my opinion the greatest Lego set ever. There were A LOT of 'wows' exclaimed while building it for the first time.

Haven't seen those, could you post them here / link to a website where I can view them please?

Great set, hate the amount of stickers there. Not planning to buy it. May get a couple of torsos from this set on Bricklink, as they should fit the Pirates theme.
