Imperial Trading Post Reviews
Steve's LEGO Blog
“The idea behind this set is very good; we finally get a set for the large pirate ships to actually attack, a trading post must contain worthy booty for a pirate to plunder. The structures in this set are not the greatest, but the overall design of the set is, there is plenty... More of room for barrels and boxes, the set features a hidden storage compartment inside the base.”

“Everything is very-well-constructed in a wonderful architectural style and it looks quite realistic. The two ships that also come with this set are lovely and it's the only set EVER to include a bonafide merchant ship (which looks fabulous too)!”
