My grandma adopted a son who was in love with LEGO. He had the Black Sea Barracuda when he was a young boy. When he was 12 he passed away from brain cancer. My grandparents have kept his sets for years and recently gifted them to me to repair for him. This feels like a great way to honor him in a way

Jang: "Nobody wants to watch a one-hour review video from me." Me: "I am nobody."

Jang:"Nobody wants to watch an hour review from me" Me: "the lies we tell ourselves are the ones that hurt the most, Jang"

I think this is already one of the best sets of the year

I’m quite annoyed LEGO retired this set after less than 18 months. Went away way too soon than what they typically do...

In original model, there was 2 imperial soldiers: one with hat and one without hat. Looks like they both appears on this set as well...

The idle out of stone on the shore is reference to the LEGO pirates: islander sub theme. Specifically sets like 6262 and 6278.

“Nobody wants a 1 hour review from me.” What? I’d love that!

I think it’s agreeable that Jang is the, and has always been, the best lego reviewer. He goes so in depth into the Set, and covers every detail.

This is the best set Lego has released in many many years. It's such a blast to build and looks incredible on display!

I liked the "possibly some non-alcoholic ginger beer..." assumption for LEGO pirates;)

Noticed one of the pirates has teen wu's face, interesting...

0:38 I’d totally watch a 1 hour review from you JANG!

"nobody wants to watch a one hour review video from me" - bold assertion!

"Noone wants to watch 1 hour review from me" OH BOY YOU ARE WRONG, I often bingewatch your older reviews while building. :D It helps my imagination!

Not gonna lie. That is a almost perfect Lego pirate ship. The shaping, the details everything. Its incredible.

The amount of references and subtle throwbacks in this set is amazing. I've never been a Pirates fan, but man does this set make me want to re-evaluate and make a few Bricklink orders to change that. Excellent review, Jang.

Does anyone Else just binge watch reviews of sets that you’re excited for over and over? I only ordered mine yesterday and want it to come right now lol

Honestly for 200$, this is a 10/10 set, in my opinion.

Is it just me, or does is recording station look like heaven, infinitely bright and endless.

I'm 17 and was recently annoyed at how my little brother who's got me back into lego won't have those amazing iconic sets like I did as a kid but I've realises that there are those sets in sets like these

Another excellent and detailed review from my favorite Lego Reviewer: Jangbricks!! My fiancee and I just got this set the other day and we have completed bags 1-5 so far. We are trying to take our time and enjoy this build since we both grew up during the time of classic Piarate sets from the 80's and 90's. This set is massive in scale and so detailed. And the box design is so fantastic! The Lego group really knocked this one out of the park!

I haven’t watched a single other review because I knew this would be the one truly good one

I love that Capt. Redbeard has aged and it’s a continuation of his story. Captain Red’s been busy ❤️

The leftover island is the best part if only because there's SO MUCH still there. A set so good I'll probably buy two of them.

“...nobody wants to watch an hour review with me...” well, I WANT IT!

Yo now that I'm in my mid teen years I'm starting to realize legos never get old.

Csnt believe Jang didn't mention the statue head was included as a fun "Easter egg" throwback to Enchanted Island for those who had the earlier Pirates sets

Great review, Jang, as allways. But I am curious if there are older people who buy this. I am almost 60 years old and I love it, especially Batman. But also other lego sets.. :-) My wife doesn't understand my madness for the lego. Are there more older people? Or am I the only "fool" who loves it? regards, Ron.

They need to make a set like this for every old LEGO theme. I’d love to see what happened to Flatfoot Thompson and the rest of the Western characters, I think it would sell due to the popularity of RDR2

The buried statue is very reminiscent of the ones seen in Forbidden Cove 6264, Enchanted Island 6292, and King Kahuka's Throne 6262. I love to see this!

26:30 i knew Jang was a Pirate

“Why are you doing that Jang?? 😫 “BECAUSE I CAN.” 😎

"They easily could have put this at $250." Shhh...don't give them any ideas.

“So much space for extra activities” did Jang just throw in a Step Brothers quote?

18:57 Oh lawd. I'm def buying this set now.

Easily my favorite set from LEGO in... I don't know how many years. A lot of years. But do I have some notes? Yep, I got some notes, and it's all for the ship version of this set: - In ship form, there's absolutely no method built in for the crew to access the interior. No hatches, no stairs... it just has a full ceiling and a ton of windows. This seems like an oversight, since the designers have so clearly spent a LOT of time and effort on making every inch of the island version accessible! - No crow's nest? Even the original ship had one, and this one has an amazing WORKING capstan for the anchor, so I'm left a bit mystified about why there's not even the slightest attempt at a crow's nest. - The prow of the ship is REALLY weirdly shaped, to me. Like the entire forecastle should be extending out further. As a result, the silhouette of the ship is VERY back-heavy and odd. - Instructions for an interior rebuild to allow cannons inside would sure have been nice. A fourth cannon would also have been nice - how're they gonna balance the weight of an odd number of cannon aboard the ship? - They didn't come up with a way to hang the rowboat off the side railing! That's an unfortunate missed opportunity. - I'd REALLY have loved a new monkey mold to be released with this set. Dang, that would've been perfect. That's it! It's not anything major, because this set is absolutely tremendous. I hope it's been successful enough for LEGO to dip back into the Pirates well, or do a Castle set of similar quality.

this is perhaps the greatest set of all time!

19:00 got me laughing so hard. Really gotta applaud for Jang's humor.

I was so glad about what you said regarding the island leftover parts. I kept hearing other reviewers say that it diminishes the value of the set if you want it for the ship, but when you consider that, despite the price, kids will still want this and parents will still buy it, I think it only adds value, because it gives the kids a port to dock their ship at, like Tortuga in Pirates of the Caribbean! I always appreciate your recognition, which so many afol’s lack, that these are toys first and foremost. I especially keep this in mind, as one of the few young adults who actually plays with my LEGO, and recently I’ve been trying to find LEGO pirates to play with but can only really get them with parts from the LEGO store, which is closed and two hours away, and a single blind bag that comes out in a couple of weeks. I really hope LEGO releases even one wave of pirate sets soon, with some imperial sets(a Fort with a row boat, a small ship, maybe a big one) and some pirate sets(row boat with a tiny island, small boat, maybe even a couple army building packs of pirates and soldiers) so that kids who build their own ships(as I have) will have a variety of enemies for their chosen protagonist.

I ABSOLUTELY love jang

I've bought like 5 grand worth of lego recently and this is by far my favorite set. Best set ever made!

Finally! A Lego ship that can rival the Imperial Flagship from 2010..

"Nobody wants to watch a one- hour review by me!" You wanna bet? ÔuÔ

Real talk JANG: if you did the hour long review, I would just make popcorn. No, seriously...just do the hour!

It would be great if lego focused on more sets for their older themes

This set actually reflects on two old sets from Lego Pirates. The ancient statue embedded in the sand is a statue from King Kahuka's throne. It's a little detail I noticed

I really wish Lego would bring back the pirates theme. Although, I would like it to be more imperial centered because I like them better, but that's just personal preference.

I have the original set that my kids found in in storage in pieces. They have built their own version of a ship wreck. Wonder if there's a similar story for inspiration of the new design. Thanks for the great videos Jang!

Jangs, this is the BEST set Lego has released in a long time and I CANNOT believe how it went over my head. Last year I got back into lego heavily thanks to you and Bevin, so I started getting sets again. When I seen the “Enchanted Island” statue buried in the sand, I was Sold! I have the original Caribbean Clipper, Enchanted Island, El Dorado, Sabre Island, Forrestman Hideout, and all the other sets from that time. This Pirates of Barracuda Bay completes the story and tells one in itself. The fact that lego aged the minifigures is special. The good guys won the battle and Ray the Castaway has a home now. I cannot wait to add all the sets together. This thing blows the Lighthouse away. If it weren’t for your video I may not have seen the statue in the sand, thanks Jangs!

This set is, in my collection, one of the most beautiful tributes to the captain Red Beard, his adventure companions and the many hours I spent playing with them! 🥰🥰 Ahoy good old captain! What treasures await us? 🏴‍☠️🦜

A 1 hour review would actually be appreciated right now, Jang. Always appreciated in fact. $200 is a great price, and a great nostalgic set. Great review, Jang!!!

I wish they would redo the imperial flagship.

What a great set. Wishing you all the best!

Wow, the detail in this build is crazy!!!! I was a fan of the OG pirate sets but this is NEXT level.

Wish I could grab 2 of these so I could have the island base and the ship! Great review as always 👍

A masterful set. I'm shocked Lego retired this one so quickly. It's a lot of fun to build and to convert back and forth between the two configurations, and both look great on the shelf: the ship is beautiful, and the island is colorful and evocative. If I were a kid, I would have been blown away by all the play features, too. You could have lots of stories and adventures with a set like this.

even without the full transformation, i would've bought this set. i think the disney castle created a whole new group of people trying to build their own theme park since the release of the disney castle and this set fits right in. and from a design perspective, i definitely think they designed the ship first, then the island; as that is the easiest way not to mess up the ship

Such a beautiful set.I'm glad I got this în this Christmas.

I’d watch 1 hour review of Jang for this beautiful set🙈

Jang, for real, we want longer videos. Sincerely, everyone.

Jang : Nobody wants to watch a one hour review video from me me : 👀

This set is the gateway for me getting into Lego as an adult. Loved the build and every detail that is included and play after. Sparked such joy in me.😊

Quality over quantity. Nice job these are the videos I know you for. Thanks thumbs up.

Eyyyyy, been looking forward to this one!

0:36 I would, Jang, i would!

Great review, even three years later. Got back into Lego about 2 years ago, thanks to introducing my son, so going to have to hunt this one down in the aftermarket. It’s a brilliant set! Can’t believe the ship is fully formabile while still the island is awesome in it’s own right. Keep up the great work Jang, always check your reviews, alongside Tiago for the newer sets.

My best friend had a set like this when I was a kid. I was so jealous! He even had the castle set with knights. I had Robin Hood’s castle and it was AMAZING!

"Nobody wants to watch an one hour review video from me"

26:28 Pirate Jang!

*Pirates of the Caribbean intensifies*

Thanks for taking your time with this one. Perfect review!!!

I like that you put the flags blowing in the correct direction. Never really thought about that...

I ordered this set two weeks ago and there is still another half of a month until it ships. Also, everyone would want to watch an hour-long review from you!

Mine is arriving tomorrow! I want to stream it and that will take days! Oh, excited :) Fantastic review, as always Jang.

It took me a few days to put the set together- mostly since I kept getting sidetracked. But this set is a beautiful thing- a love letter and tribute to the set that inspired it. I put the Barracuda together proper a few weeks ago, and after looking at the island leftover, I'm tempted to build on top of it- see if I can put on something like Skull Island on it- the Barraduca needs a place to put into port, after all. :)

I’m surprised how smoothly you went through this one. Great work!

Was waiting for this one! I will enjoy every second of this review :)

MAJOR props to LEGO... As a grown up, I feel this set is cool enough to be in an adults collection. There are PLENTY of awesome angles to look at and things to see... I'm sure I'd have a good laugh at some of the items, scenarios and design choices here. At the same time, I couldn't imagine how much awe a child would have playing with this and a friend or something. The type of thing I did with my little brother or sister when they were young. Thanks for the awesome review... the length was fully warranted!

Yesss, got this set a while ago and was waiting for this review since the livestream

Jang: Nobody wants to watch an hour long review from me. All of Jang’s viewers: Hold my beer

Thanks for the video Jang, it's great

This set currently retails for about $270 at it's cheapest. This was a really good deal back in the day, and it's still a decent deal nowadays.

Imagine if LEGO did a Mars Mission or Castle (2007) equivalent of this. That would give me a nostalgia overload.

Cool, great review JANG 👍🏻

I’ve been waiting for this video! This is gonna be good.

I've never wanted a Lego set so much in my life. I've been waiting for this review since the set was released. As expected, this review just about tipped the scale for me. I'm buying this set. Wonderful work, Jang.

This has been my favourite set to date and I really enjoyed your review as I always do. Thanks!

love your reviews jang, very detailed and professional

So good!

Magnificent set with a solid suprise! I really hope we will get more sets like this. I need my updated yellow castle. NOT JOKING

Great review! This is a fantastic set and build. Brings back so many memories and takes it to a whole new level!

My most favorite themes from the 90's was the pirate theme. Love this set. Thanks for the review.

I love the idol buried in the sand. Its a 1:1 match to an idol from an old islander set

This is utterly glorious, I am so gonna get this when and if I can

26:29 Hey look who it is!

Honestly this set is the best thing any lego fan could've asked for! I remember building some pirate ships back in 2009 and I really enjoyed those experiences. This set brings back a lot of memories. I also appreciate all the easter eggs and the care put into this set. You also did a fantastic job with the review. Can I ask, do you edit these videos yourself, or do you have assistance from an editor? These must be very tough to make.

I have this set and I was still looking forward to Jang's amazing review!

Jang, don't underestimate us. Most of us would totaly watch you for talk about a set for an hour. I'm almost dissapointed that this video is only 34 minutes. Great review anyway. You're the best.

Got this on the first day via online shop. Best lego set ever thus far for me. Magnificent!
