    Watching these videos is like a warm mug of coffee on a cold rainy day. I know there a quite of a few videos out there complaining about copy and paste Lego set reviews, but to this day, the editing quality, music, connection to lore, and storytelling of your videos have no peer in the Lego RUclips community IMO. You have inspired my content and continued love of the hobby and you can see by other content creators (some in the comments on this video!) how your influence has spread. I completely understand needing to live your life outside of Lego these past five years (my partner and I moved across the country and had our first child in those years 😮), but I am grateful for you being back and joy/light you offer! Thanks Jamie! I’m excited for the next steps of the journey. Play Well! -A Brick in Time

    Welcome back! It's an audio drama, so it's not exactly conclusive, but it's implied that the lady Islander was indeed the wife of King Kahuka (called Quextil in Germany) in the German audio drama Die Insel der Schaurigen Maske, where she is given a name, Amaritza (but no dialogue.)
    She's the mother of Kahuka's two sons, Thu and Kothu. (These characters, though nameless, were identified in US Shop at Home set descriptions of King Kahuka's Throne as Kahuka's two sons, so that bit of lore was carried over.) Interestingly, the name of Kothu used as the chief's son can be traced back to the cancelled Island of Mist comic book, where the group that eventually became the Islanders was originally conceived as a group of isolated Aztecs.

    Great set to return with! When i was little,this set was one of the ones i wanted the most! I loved all factions in Pirates,and the Islanders were such a great addition to the theme! The difference in the presentation of those two sets of instructions was pretty sad,but also how I feel about the difference between modern and classic Lego. That professional set photography and alternate builds need to make a comeback. Thanks for the review!

    Of course I get out of Lego for a couple months and the legend comes back! I’ve always loved Lego since I was 4 years old in 2006, but of course had my dark age in my late teens. I’d always had an appreciation for the old sets but never really connected how much I didn’t like the newer ones design philosophy. Your channel was a big part of me realizing that I didn’t stop loving Lego, I just stopped loving NEW Lego! The very first theme I collected was pirates because of you. I’ve rewatched your videos over and over again because you really immerse the viewer into the world of adventure and creativity these sets offer. I’ve never seen a channel get that feeling across even half as well as you do. I’m very excited to see you back!

    Welcome back Jamie! It's great having you back uploading fantastic reviews! Anyway just wanted to share my younger cousins would often mix my Islanders with their Adventurers Jungle sets when they came over for visits, as a sort of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" idea. Gave Achoo a few more henchmen and using the striped shirt pirates gave Senior Palomar some much needed muscle as well. Though I was already into my Dark Ages, this was always an interesting idea to me. It was the only times during my Dark Ages I would join my younger cousins in creating fun stories. I can tell you with utmost certainty, attaching this set along with Amazon Ancient Ruins made both sets feel like you were deep in the Jungle or on a very Enchanted Island!

    Great review! There was always something about the sets with something curved about the baseplates (the river here, but the Aquazone base also had a curved baseplate situation) that made me want to own four of them to make a circle. This set would form a little lake with an island, for example.

    I bought a big bulk lot of Lego and this was one of the sets within. HOWEVER, an absolute MANIAC that previously owned the set had SUPER GLUED IT together. This caused a number of pieces to break over the ensuing years and being tossed in Lego bins. Seeing the raised baseplate brought so much joy, only to end up feeling gutted when I realized the full situation.
    Great to see that you’re back Jamie!!

    Can't believe you're back AND reviewing the Islanders sets, this couldn't be any better!
    Enchanted Island and a couple other small Islander sets were a huge part of my childhood, despite being born long after their retirement. My parents managed to buy the island, Crocodile Cage, the King Kahuka set and a couple extra minifigs in the early 2010s for absolutely nothing compared to what they sell for now (if I remember correctly the island cost them a mere 30€ and an extra 10€ thrown in for the rest). I was first exposed to the Islanders from the Lego Battles Nintendo DS game, and became absolutely obsessed with their design.
    I had so much fun playing with the island throughout the years, long into my teenagehood and past that, and god knows those baseplates were the centrepiece of so many attempted MOCs and builds. I recently rebuilt it all and combined the smaller sets, a few extra palms and additional details for some of the emptier areas off of bricklink, and it's the absolute crown jewel of my exposed Lego sets.
    Again, I can't express how happy this new chapter of your restrospective makes me. Keep up the good work, so glad to see you back!

    • @TrikBrix

    Thank you very very much for this detailed review. The best on RUclips for this set. And welcome back. For me, this set is a lived childhood, hundreds of hours of endless fantasy. No set reminds me more of my Lego childhood than this one. It has at least three things that are unbeatable and irreplaceable to this day: King Kahuka (the best minifigure ever created by Lego), the real palm trees (and yes, the ONLY real monkey and also the best crocodile) and in addition this....atmosphere and certain opacity of cannibalism (yes/no), the colors, the canoes, the printed corners. Oh yes...three things.
    This set got lost in my Dark Ages, now it has a place of honor on the shelf again. Of course, all with the huge nostalgia glasses, but isn't that exactly what we so often long for. 🤩

    This really highlights how LEGO used to be more about play than display. Such a fun set, I’ve always loved these old ones despite not being around at the time. I love these raised baseplates, as they encourage to build more on the baseplate and add our own ideas (like all those palm trees!)
    Also I had no idea the crocodile came only one year after the dragon - considering how much longer the crocodile lasted.
    Finally I have to say what a great observation with the shrunk skulls lol, that’s so unexpectedly dark

      I agree - so many things about this set exemplify why 80s & 90s LEGO was so great. The emphasis was on pure imagination, rather than trying to fill in all the gaps for us.

      @@TrikBrix it makes sense, first they did a Pirates focused set, then the Imperials, only logical to do the Islanders next
      and if it were to happen, my prediction is 2026, as there does seem to be a pattern to these Icons/neo classic sets
      2020: Pirates of Barracuda Bay
      2022: Galaxy Explorer and Lion Knights Castle
      2023: Imperial Trading Post
      2024: Medieval Village

      @@TrikBrix I'm afraid that this won't be happening, unfortunately. TLG (The Lego Group) would likely be wary of potential backlash concerning the "stereotypical" portrayal of the Natives.
      For the same reasons, TLG won't be re-introducing any time soon their past 'Western' theme due to, of course, the involved Native Americans/First Nations. 😕

    Welcome back, and fresher than ever!
    I never mind the length of your videos because they are cozily paced and very well researched from pieces to stories. I also noticed some new camera pans and angles that gets me excited for future presentations.
    Islanders is a subtheme that has always fascinated me, especially in LEGO Media such as LEGO Racers, but I've owned very little such as 6236. And no matter how much I gazed at this set in the catalogs during its 2001 reissue, I never would have guessed on all of its nooks and crannies for play possibilities. Retro LEGO is great at offering the "less is more" approach as a result.
    Time for me to re-binge the channel (again!) in the joy of your rebirth! And I do hope you pace yourself and enjoy every aspect of the video experience :)

    • @TrikBrix
      @TrikBrix  Месяц назад +1

      Thanks so much! And I’m glad you like the new filming style - trying to keep things spiced up! 😄
      That’s what I love so much about 80s & 90s LEGO; your imagination had room to breathe. Don’t get me wrong, I love tons of detail on modern sets, too, but most of them don’t have the same magic as something like this.
      And I definitely plan on pacing myself! I’d rather go slow than not go at all! 😄👍

    What’s more, you’ve brought back memories, and slowly, slowly, I’m rebuilding my own Adventurers’ collection…
    I’ve known this channel for years and must have watched every video dozens of times. On top of that, I’ve even shown your videos to my kids, explaining to them in Polish what their dad dreamed of as a child with LEGO.
    Today feels like a Christmas gift-I’m overjoyed! I might even start an Instagram account just to find out what’s been happening with you, TrikBrix, over the years.

    Merry Christmas! So good to hear from you again Jamie! You summed up my childhood exactly in the opening minutes. I also always included the middle of the coin sprue as a kind of 'super coin' (a doubloon?)! The staring at catalogue images, longing for specific sets. My only islanders set was crocodile cage, and you have given me a morbid new appreciation for the design! I hadn't clocked that yellow head on a bloody red pole until this video. Nice! Can't wait to see the rest of the theme reviewed.
