“The castaways finally have an island to whole up in, the biggest highlights of this set are a castaway fig and a beautiful blue boat, I like this set but it should be noted that it is not without its flaws.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“This LEGO set includes three minifigures: two distinct and unique pirates, with one appearing notably aged, suggesting a long tenure on the island, and a standard soldier with a printed emblem on his hat and blue epaulettes, diverging from the more common yellow and red. The set features a blue rowboat equipped with a cannon turret, reminiscent of the older Harbor Sentry set. The island scene includes a short dock with a catapult, a cooking fire with a fish, and a rock formation resembling a skull. The set conceals a gold treasure chest filled... More with coins and gems behind bars within the rock, which intriguingly can be accessed by removing a leaf part, indicating a less secure hiding spot.”
