October 7, 201410 yr Excellent 21st Century take on this classic pirates set 'Robinson'......Brick On !
October 7, 201410 yr Neat build, Robinson! I always liked this set, and your modern update is very accurate with some cool details. The tan instead of white and yellow looks pretty good. I like the canted dock and the arches over openings. I also like how the structure was kept to the same scale with unrealistic openings for play value just like the original. Keep on Brickin'!
October 7, 201410 yr Very nicely built indeed! It's one of the things I like most, old sets redesigned with new colors and techniques.
October 9, 201410 yr I remember i always wanted to have this set as a kid. You've taken it to the next level Robinson. It looks amazing redesigned.
October 9, 201410 yr Splendid rework! Had this set as a TFOL, you improved it a lot but kept all the original features! Switching the officer's with the pirate's outfit is a bit confusing, though, but true to the original in terms of color Great job, Keep it up! KB
October 14, 201410 yr Excellent job! I got this set for my 10th Birthday. Definitely one of my all time favourites!
October 15, 201410 yr I love how you redid one of the sets from my childhood. I am especially fond of the authentic look of the palm tree. Thank you for posting this.
October 15, 201410 yr Author Thank you all for your amazing comments. I honored blogged in Classic-Pirates. Want to make some bluecoat stuff in near future too.
August 17, 20159 yr It's really an awesome design. The changes are minimal, but they prove you're lucky to have preserved such a rare set! it's some 20 years old - the older, the better as good wine. As far as I know, it's the only set without a ship but with a redcoat admiral! It can be a pearl of any pirates collection. To my mind, only the Imperial trading post of 1989 is much cooler.
August 17, 20159 yr I also loved that set as a kid, you did a great job modernizing this classic set!
August 19, 20159 yr I always enjoy set rebuilds, and this is a superb one Lovely details, with the angled dock, dark red roof, and torches
