“This set gives you a lot for a reasonable price, and we actually see an officer (Lego got the officer ratio right with this wave), the whole set is beautiful, the jail, the crane and the awesome bridge... So the Imperial fort again is rated up there with the old Lagoon Lock... More Up, in my opinion.”

“Soldier's Fort is hardly the perfect kit. The model is a bit simple, the quality of some of the pieces is not the greatest, and the price is very high. But, considering that Pirates have been gone for over a decade and a half, this kit and the others in the line are a breath... More of fresh air. Get it on sale, or get it normally, but I highly urge you to buy this kit if you're a Pirate fan, or a fan of good lego in general.”

About Pirates

Pirates was a LEGO theme introduced in 1989, running until 1997 and focused on the classic idea of Caribbean pirates that were pitted against soldiers of colonial empires. As the series progressed through the years, more factions were introduced and the older ones were phased out of production. The Pirates were one of the first two original factions in the theme to be introduced.

They say no pirate has ever escaped from the soldiers’ fortress prison, but if he can get the key away from the monkey guard, this one plans to try! Is the pirate captain coming to lend a hand, or is he just after the treasure chest? If the soldiers catch him, he won’t get away with either! Includes 2 pirates, 4 soldiers, monkey and crocodile.
Crank the winch to hook the treasure chest, fire the pull-action cannon, or play inside the stockade!

Includes 2 pirates, 4 soldiers, row boat, fish, monkey and crocodile!

Fortress measures 12" (30 cm) long and 7" (17cm) high!
