"Here are a few reasons why this set amazes me 1) The nostalgia has all returned from when I was a boy and had a fleet (five in total) of LEGO ships including the the original Barracuda ship 2) The colours and details are absolutely beautiful. Every room is filled with such charming, exquisite detail, even the corners of the rooms which are out of sight the majority of the time. A lot of love went into this set. 3) An actual story line comes with this set, and the playable characters continue their stories too 4) The shipwreck and island have character, and refer to other earlier pirate sets- ie the forgotten statue. There is even a secret treasure chest to find! 5) This set is huge and makes a magnificent display piece and is a conversation starter to anyone who sees it. 6) It is two sets in one, although the shipwreck is much prettier than the assembled ship. Still cool though! 7) great playable value to it 8) I can't find anything wrong with it, except, if I'm being really picky, it is a bit delicate. The plants and trees are easily knocked off (hardly a negative!) 9) the lights make it look beautiful too
Please make more LEGO sets like these, the kind that refer to the golden age of LEGO and those special series eg Western, castles etc"
