New LEGO Pirates Set Lets You Set Sail on the Nostalgic High Seas
Last year brought back a bigger, grown-up version of Lion Knights Castle. Now, LEGO is bringing back another childhood favorite—PIRATES!
The theme topped the charts in a recent vote, convincing the brickmaker to create a new set. The result is the Icons Eldorado Fortress, also known as Governor’s Fort Sabre. It’s based on a LEGO Pirates set based on Imperial Forts from the Golden Age of the piracy era. The original set was unveiled in 1989.
LEGO Icons: Eldorado Fortress
The 2509-piece set features a new, much larger version of the fortress with a working port and crane, jail, and trap doors. Six soldier minifigs run the fortress and man its cannons. It also comes with an imperial ship with soft sails and a small pirate rowboat with two pirate minifigs. An island fortress wouldn’t be complete without a cheeky monkey minifig, so this set has one.
