Thanks for the review!
I love this little set, but thought it needed a little spicing up so I paid a visit to my local Lego store for a baseplate and some greens.
The Castle theme is what first got me into LEGO bricks (Camouflaged Outpost was the one), but when the Pirates theme debuted I switched over. I still have all of my original Castle sets as well, but my Pirate sets I still keep on display.
The Imperial Trading Post is a great set, but after recently acquiring Eldorado Fortress, I have to say its my new favorite set. It looks much more intimidating that the Trading Post and I think would fare much better fending off Pirates.
Rock Island Refuge is my favorite Pirate Base with plenty of room to plan the next treasure hunt!
