Pirates of Barracuda Bay LEGO IDEAS Full Review! Set 21322 + Comparison to 1989 Original

[@poafibricks414]

PLAN: 1. This set sells amazingly and everyone praises it. 2. Lego sees this and decides took make new pirates. 3. Those sell so amazingly, that lego makes new knights and space sets.

[@Potatoham]

Yes please

They nailed everything

[@aesrizzle22]

Except for how horrible it looks compared to the Ideas version. Having a 2in1 isn't worth that at all. Went from a definite purchase to a hard pass for me. And yes, I did have the original as a kid and it is nostalgic, but meh.

[@preposterous3245]

Borntolovevolcanos idk I like the two I’m one feature. I literally wasn’t alive to experience the original but feel they did an ok job. Pass if you must but this will look great in my ocean part of my city

[@aesrizzle22]

@@preposterous3245 its not horrible alone, just by comparison to the Ideas model. To me anyway. If that's all they ever showed I'd probably be more impressed, but after seeing how much more impressive the Ideas model was it just feels like a downgrade. Still has some really cool build techniques and such. That crooked window is stellar.

[@kanichuagreatproductions2539]

Yes, avcorst

[@WforWumbo]

I'm kind of surprised the back of the box doesn't feature the alternate build of the full ship more prominently. It's there, just rather small. For me, the fact I could make the whole boat is the main, huge selling point of this set.

[@BrickVault]

I thought about that too. Perhaps they wanted to honor the original creation more directly instead of using the ideas creation to launch a throwback

[@dangerousvidsr220]

This set is just brilliant, hopefully there will be another pirates reboot and knights reboot. I would be so happy!

[@delta7890]

@@atsundiunstrun9199 I can look past that sort of stuff for Marvel sets. Many of them are based on whatever movie happens to be out for the summer, and with Marvel movies the costumes and overall look of the character changes from one film to the next. Doesn't make sense for Lego to have uniquely molded pieces that will only be used once or twice and then never again. Easier to just have close approximations with more commonly used parts.

[@XaeeD]

I love it! This is really coincidental, because I just took my Barracuda out of the attic and I have it right in front of me now. Am going to take it apart, clean it, and reassemble it, because younger me added a bunch of extra stuff that I thought looked cool back then, but actually looks like crap now lol. Since the virus outbreak and having to stay at home, I've cleaned and constructed multiple of my old Lego pirate sets, and put them on display, because it's such a shame to have them in the attic collecting dust. It's those old sets that I really like now, like Sabre Island, Lagoon Lock-up, and Shipwreck Island. But I also really like the Islander theme, for its vibrant colors. But yeah, set 21322 looks amazing. I'd buy it, were it not for the current crisis. Pirates has always been my favorite Lego theme. They should definitely keep it going.

[@DigitalinDaniel]

The best thing about this set is it's an idea I was already planning to make. It's not as green, wild, or tall as I was planning, but it'll make a really great, stylish base for me to build around. It's also great to see a new version of the Barracuda since I have the original, and I was considering how to raise it up and have more of a hold. This'll be really inspiring for me. I hope it's not too expensive... :(

[@jhyenikon3018]

But...what about the droid attack on the Wookiee’s?

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

So from my knowledge of LEGO Pirates and the overall LEGO world this seems to be the current history of the Black Sea's Barracuda/Redbeard's crew: Captain Rodger Redbeard obtains the BSB. As Redbeard collects different ships such as the Skull's Eye Schooner, the BSB is pushed to the sidelines. The BSB is purchased/stolen and eventually ends up in the hands of Captain Jack Knife. Redbeard changes his main ship to the Brick Bounty, and eventually gives his monkey Spinoza and similarly named ship Brickbeard's Bounty to his son/grandson Brickbeard. Captain Jack Knife takes the BSB on an interstellar journey to the remains of Planet Crux and settles down in Gnarled Forest. Jack Knife's crew harvest a bounty of Maelstrom bricks and attract the attention of a Kraken. The Kraken hurls the BSB into a tree on the shore and it ends up a sort of treehouse. The BSB is somehow recovered from the tree and (likely back on the Pirates' homeworld) is eventually run aground on a small deserted island. Redbeard discovers the remnants of his old vessel and sets up a gigantic pirate hideout in its remains, creating the Barracuda Bay. Alternatively I suppose Barracuda Bay could've been completely rebuilt into the BSB at some point and *then* taken by Jack Knife for the events of LEGO Universe but that makes a little less sense. Man... this ship's had some history!

[@anemone3777]

Somewhat miffed that there is no room for the cannons inside the ship. I'd probably rework the interior to fit them in the proper positions.

[@Apfelstrudl]

It's the purpose of Lego to do just that. But even the company itself mostly has forgotten about it.

[@oldskoolblazerr]

There is a video of a review that you can actually work the cannons in you just have to move a couple pieces.

[@CB-we1wf]

[@bebegrogu4825]

@@CB-we1wf you can just move around the interior and take out the windows. The cannons will fit through if you remove the windows. You can also try moving the bar area and beds out for that operation and you will have it fixed! Hope this helps.

[@marcelthau8895]

I know there are going to be haters as always, but I personally can not even express how much I love it. As a child such a kind of Lego ship was too expensive for my parents in Eastern Germany and now it feels like a second chance. And it's a very lovely design although it's very far away from the original fan design. But the thing I like most is the imagination of all those shameless resellers offering 30-year-old used bricks, that are maybe worth 50$, for hundreds or even thousands of Euros, who are getting mad when they realize that their business has been broken.

[@troodon1096]

Personally, if I got this set I'd just make it into the ship to begin with and not even bother with the other build. One of the few sets where I think the "alternate build" is the far superior build.

Ok, I need this set. I've always loved pirate ships and flag ships, but I've never gotten the change to get a proper Lego pirate ship. Lego should make another imperial flag ship.
