“This is an interesting set, with some good and bad parts, here we have a lovely boat (known as a catamaran), the design of the canoe is a beautiful as is the sail, but the printing on the side of the canoe is sadly made with stickers (a first for our pirate sets, sadly not... More the last).”

“This set is just awesome. It has a lot of valuable parts and the catamaran just looks nice and so realistic. This little old set is very nice for it size, the playability is awesome for a so little set, you have a crocodile, 2 canoes, an exclusive sail, 2 parrots and 2... More minifigs with some accessories, like a spear, a staff and a drum ! For a set with less than 60 parts, that's very nice! Plus the design of the catamaran is really cool, it really fits the islander and it's their biggest boat!”

About Pirates Islanders

The Islanders was a subthem of Pirates released in 1994, and briefly brought back in 2001. The Islanders were loosely based on natives of the Pacific islands based on their Enchanted Island, and introduced a third faction into the theme during the Imperial Guards subthem timeline. The Islanders were considered to be neutral, but were known to have pirate and Imperial prisoners. All Islanders sets were released during 1994, but only one set, Enchanted Island, was re-released in 2001.

Islanders consists of 7 sets that ran from 1994 to 2001. As of today, 6292 Enchanted Island is the most valuable Islanders set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,369.
