[@fritz404]

All these remakes of classic sets have been absolute heaters, like every one is a 10/10. We definitely need more of these

[@timewarpdrive77]

GE was the only one I can afford; Just can't justify 215 (let alone the castle's 400) dollars for a theme Im only mildly interested in. Wish some of those fomo sets were retail

[@AydenTheCarrot]

This one goes amazing next to Pirates Of Barracuda Bay

[@hbcontinentals]

What other classic classic sets have been done recently?

[@ph03nixflame]

It's always awesome when you release a non-Star Wars review, and what a stunner of a set!

[@User-38582kxjfjdb]

Man the classic pirates of the Caribbean ride theme song hits hard! Especially when you've been on the ride!

[@trevorblack5953]

Would love if they made a little “battle pack” of soldiers or pirates to go along this set. This is such a great lego set

[@brickfisto6542]

Yup

[@jchrome6682]

if u want more soldiers u can order their parts off pick a brick for fairly decent costs

[@Jush0520]

​@Random-Clone-Captain you posted this the same time the video was uploaded. For all you know MandR uploaded a white screen and you said "nice video"

i think a comparison of the old and new one would be great to see if the old one still holds up!

[@amckay003]

@@skinnyj123 I agree

[@CanadaBricks]

These re-makes of old sets from the 80’s and 90’s should really be a theme called "Legacy"

[@prajitashok3682]

Facts

[@shaunw9092]

Man, I have the original version that I received as a birthday gift in 1991 just before I started Kindergarten. I still have it, I'm going to watch this with my kids to try to convince them to build it with me.

[@JBBrickman]

Surprised he didn’t mention that the ship was not in the original Eldorado fortress, but it is in this set as a callback to the other big imperial set at the time, set 6277 Imperial Trading Post! :)

[@little.wookiee]

I love the background music in the beginning of the video. It was a nice touch and I swear your video’s keep getting better every day.

[@KixSlim]

Newer fans don’t know how huge pirates was for Lego as a theme in the late 80s early 90s. Staved off the decline of the late 90s early 2000s that was then saved by bionicle and Star Wars (although lego western was absolute heat and doesn’t get the credit it deserves)

[@BrickReporter]

It's a good set for the price tag, and great for adults who owned (or wanted) the original back in the day

[@Jebowski]

I was in the "wanted" camp, haha

[@michellerahe4853]

I do miss the old pirate and soldier sets because it was cool getting alot of them to fight against each other

[@ExecutivedetailingNA]

Happy to see you review this set. Saw on your back shelf a few vids ago !

[@TrueLegoXman]

I like Lego's continued commitment to historic accuracy 👍🏻

[@crazydog1750]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh yeah gotta love the inclusivity agenda.

[@mrneb5481]

So I'm not the only one that noticed that, lol.

[@TrueLegoXman]

@@mrneb5481 nah, that happened with at least the castle too.

[@crazydog1750]

@@mrneb5481 Totally noticed it too. I was just terrified to point it out myself. I remember when the images for the Hoth minifigure pack came out Ryan casually noted that he didn’t remember seeing any female troops in the trenches and had to issue an apology afterwards. People are just dumb. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ClassicStudStudios]

I will point out there actually WAS a female knight in 2002’s knight’s kingdom, there was also a female pirate in the 90s, and another one in 2009, and another in 2015, the female pirates in Lego aren’t new, ( admittedly the female soldiers kinda are )

[@Blastnet_DanHarris]

I've still got my original Eldorado Fortress from when I was a kid.

[@teeganreed7989]

I still have my original from when I was a kid. Great job on the review! I think I might have to get this to display next to my old one!!

[@lbricks7631]

Man, I am loving these remakes of classic sets that Lego has been pumping out recently.

[@jackgagnon6699]

I’m normally only a Star Wars collector but I’m now highly considering this set

[@cameronklein7980]

I am a star wars only collector, but this set is one of my favorites I have ever purchased

[@jackgagnon6699]

@@cameronklein7980 good to know! I will have to look at buying it!

[@thegreatpiginthesky3904]

I only got star wars and lord of the rings but I'm thinking about it is well. I think if I get this I should just get the knights castle too

[@riverstambaugh11]

I’d highly recommend the galaxy explorer as well.

[@markschroeder7185]

Picked it up on Saturday last week. Can’t wait to get it built and put it next to the original. So glad I still have all my original 1989 pirate sets from when they were new.

[@seanmurphy1198]

It is a really nice set. I love the cloth sails and smooth hull of the little ship. Also the imperial minifigures look good with their triangle hats and blue white uniforms.

[@RiddlerQM]

I'm glad that you made a review about this, it's an awesome set! Hopefully I can buy it in the future.

[@notclever]

Another day, another daily upload along with a Vlogust upload on the vlog channel, amazing work Ryan 😊🎉

[@jkoda7420]

Lego Star Wars needs to take notes from this set and make their sets even better.

[@JZHighlights2]

Good to see some different kind of themes

[@brickmasteryoda2063]

I have this te and it is a very good one definitely recommend

[@cameronklein7980]

I have been waiting! Awesome video

[@BritsBricks]

Love this set!! Looks super cool!

[@josephbolcome5462]

Amatuer historian here; the hats on the soldiers I believe are Shakos, and the women ones have tricorn while the admiral has a hat that leaders would have (look at Napoleon for instance). To me, this seems like Lego took liberty; the tricorn hat was more common in the 1700s whereas Shako hats with ball/plume seem more common in the 1800s. Most of my knowledge is on the World War era, but like I said I'm an amateur. Anyhow, the fact that women soldiers are present doesn't necessarily matter, since some women did join in that timeframe, though they'd have to cut their hair and dress like a man- think of Deborah Samson from the American Revolution.

[@Captain_Rex66]

Love the background music in the beginning.

[@dabraka681]

Love it🥰 Already bought one..and will buy another one soon🌟

[@clapsifyy]

amazing review!

[@thebrickfamofficial]

My son just built this for his Birthday. Absolutely awesome set. Great review. He’s got it setup in the long format with the creator ship and it looks great on a shelf. Lots of hidden details throughout.

[@zanmanstudios3116]

Love the background music!

[@Dyslego]

Cool video! Great job!

[@aeway_]

Just bought this one recently, and I absolutely love it. I was a 2000's kid, but I really preferred the 80's and 90's castle, pirates and town sets over what was avaliable at the time, though it kinda sucked since I couldn't get my hand on old sets as I was still a kid that didn't understand how ebay worked lol. This one is like a blast from the past and I'm so happy they are doing these remakes of old sets. Hope they really start doing them more frequently though.

[@KixSlim]

Lego western >>

[@gopher1888]

Great review, I had the original and loved it! Heavy nostalgia vibes! ❤

[@ampstamp]

Can't be the only one that loves when Lego integrates ingot pieces into their design

[@ktmanderscheid]

I had the original growing up. Wish I still had it! I’ll have to get this set for the nostalgia alone

[@jesserobinson8832]

Such a banger of a set

[@amckay003]

I love how you shot Rivendell with the canon.

[@SMac86]

Looks amazing

[@pducks3602]

Love this. Will have to pick this one up. The cannons are awesome. When I was a kid the LEGO cannons didn’t have that firing feature yet. So me and my neighbor would build castles or forts and then take the cannons and stick a firecracker in them and loosely put a tinfoil ball in the cannon and when the firecracker went off it would shoot the tin foil cannon ball at the castle walls. It was tons of fun. Surprisingly the cannons held up and didn’t just blow up from the fire crackers.

[@levinau2304]

LOVE THIS SET!!! Just as amazing as the lion knights castle and barracuda bay, which feel like they’ve been made with the same level of care which I love to see and hope makes its way into lego star wars eventually 🤞🤞🤞

[@Lowlight23]

Very cool! I still have the original set from when I was a kid. Nice to see how well the remake is. 😁

[@User-38582kxjfjdb]

Yes the song!!!! The song did it for me! Best vid ever!

[@Bapper_McBapper]

1:14 not to be a history nerd (I am) but those 3 soldiers have shakos, the 2 gals have tricorns, and the admiral has a bicorne

[@noahgeorge3654]

I loved the music in the background. The rendition of pirates life for me was great

[@hunichstudio6071]

That looks super cool

[@BeardedBrickHead]

Looks great. Awesome set

[@v8hbar341]

At last Ryan does it !🙌 had this set as a kid so this is all kinds of awesome 👌

brings back memories at christmas time, remember getting the original with those shiny gold round coins 34 years ago 😪

[@kidcollectable4043]

Really awesome Non Star Wars Review! I have the original set and I have been thinking about getting this one to combine them into one large fortress! That would be a good alternative build I would like to see where you combine two of these to make a massive fortress!

[@martinhill9561]

It’s good they’re bringing these genres back to test the waters. Means they’re thinking about bringing them back in full soon.

[@itssslashhere5245]

Finally a fun lego set yeaaaaa

[@squaresided]

I almost bit on this with an extra Republic Fighter Tank to get that House of the World 3 GWP but I'm holding off for x2 points or better GWPs. Sep-Dec most likely. It'll be awesome next to Barracuda Bay.

[@matiasgonzalez6240]

Beautiful set

[@DarthJuraBricks]

Nice retro, I remember having those minifigs in Lego set from 90s I got from my brother. Lego 6270 Forbidden Island it was 🏝️

Darn you MandR for making me want this set

[@ChrisDelSanto98]

I love the classic style of box

[@brianwallace2038]

I am so happy to see this set. As a child i could only envy as my parents could not afford this. Now i finally get the chance to own of these babies 😍

[@jpuggy6793]

All Lego pirate sets are amazing

[@petehoskins1267]

Very keen on this set since it’s first press release. I mostly purchase Star Wars, but will probably get this set along with the upcoming Concorde. Thanks for the review. Cheers from 🇦🇺

[@animatedmikestudios]

I love the Pirates of the Caribbean theme in the background

[@urii_0692]

The background music got me shivering my timbers

[@frogonket]

1:54 fun fact the wheels on ships were about the size of a modern day steering wheel in a car just Hollywood decided they like massive wheels

[@0kk4p]

Would be interesting combining two of this sets!

[@sirw7630]

You know the Lego set is gold when a diehard Lego SW fan takes a holiday from fantasy space to the ocean :). I recently built this set also and was very impressed, minus the Capt's cramped and underwhelming tower room, plus weak Bluecoat figure quality. How the Bluecoats from 30 years ago somehow have better printing is bonkers! The small ship is a very nice inclusion though. The price is tad wee bit on the high side, but you can bet your uncle will increase in value and be desirable just like Baracuda Bay.

[@maxwellsmith1578]

Ryan!! Please get 3 or 4 of these and combine them together

[@ostrichguy7810]

I really thought about picking this up for some reason instead of the bugle but I really still like it

[@mr.diznoid1955]

Pirates of the Caribbean music in the background lol genius!

[@arcproductions8116]

Wow, this set looks great! I might definitely consider picking it up thanks to your review! I actually happen to own the original, too

[@Bluebirdsairshows]

0:52 the face of the pirate is reused from ninjago skybound

[@greyghost4471]

that box tho🤤

[@jaketuckr]

Hey Ryan, just wondering if you will bring back the buyers guides for summer 2023 and fall 2023 Starwars sets

[@papa_NCF]

Bold choice using that Disneyland music at the beginning

[@Sean-me4fv]

The set is wonderful, but I worked out what is NQR (not quite right) about it. There is not enough yellow pieces. Compare it with the 1989 version. I will be adding more yellow to mine. Maybe one extra row all around it.

[@wolfpack2104]

Love it

[@El_papa_de_Rambo]

Now we need a remake of the Pirate's Rock Island

[@pentupbricking1504]

What took so long J/K, This is the set that made me re-evaluate what I collect as far as Lego . I went to Atalanta Brick Co. and traded all My Star Wars and other themes and traded for all Vintage Pirates. So anyway now I collect only Pirates/ Castle , maybe Lotr we must see what direction they head.

[@majorastorm]

I was at a target today and they had a lego atari available my mind was blown

[@joeyislitanddankasfuck2726]

I really liked the music at the beginning:)

[@shanep2760]

I was really expecting you to give the ship a float test 😆

[@cowerdnerddespacito9518]

I still haven’t even opened my barracuda set! I don’t have space for it! Now I need to grab this as well!

[@danprice7973]

I was hoping you was going to try the boats to see if they float. Great review though 👍🏻👍🏻

[@easyfoxproductions]

Man I love this set and can't wait to buy it!! If only lego star wars would be this good. Since only the best is good enough you would expect it to be.

[@evanrbosll129]

Just gonna say... only seeing 3 comments, and people are saying "nice it's not a SW video", I get. But I only collect and now sell Lego Star Wars. I respect you have the knowledge of Lego SW, but this is an amazing feat, considering he gets no help from Lego or KZbin for all this effort. Time is more valuable then the cloth and life in your body. Keep that true when you hit your mark! Thanks for you time and your video my man!! (and sorry for my rambling) hahaha

[@Lyokowarrior-hj8jc]

Will you be making a ghost and phantom two review soon?

I would 100% buy this for an Old Emipre fortress or something

[@medicusvulneratum3125]

I still got my original fortress with box in my closet. I had broke it down when I moved some 10 years ago and never rebuilt it. Might have to break that bad boy out
