Lego Maniacs' Guide
“I needed a good pirate base as an opposing headquarters to the Imperial Trading Post and I'm satisfied I found it with Skull Island. This medium size model isn't quite as large as the trading post, but it is a fairly sturdy structure with a "keep out" attitude that is just... More right for pirates.”

“In my opinion this is one of the best pirate sets ever made beside the ships, it's got great playability, and the skull-like door is designed very well also. You got plenty of minifigs, along with an ape and a parrot, and also lots of guns. Clearly a 10/10 for me, Pirates... More ON!”

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.
Summary
Pirates Skull Island set 6279 was released in August 1995, retailing for $53, but has since been retired. New, unopened Skull Island sets are valued at $816, while used sets can be found for $135 in good condition.
