I played this set when I was 12 with my neighbour. It was an early 90,s, 1991 i think. Really hard to find and expensive in Poland. 3 figs and some guns relally enjoyed us. We could only dream about Forbidden Island or Blue Lagoon...Now i have them all:). However i,m 31 now the memory of earliest sets is still true and alive so i collect them right now. I have Castaway.s Raft new, just once pieces together(really hard to find but i made it:). So it,s standing like finest flower on my desk and remainds me about old good times.

This set is just amazing, because it kind of rolls! That's why this is my pirate's rolling stock. It comes with two regular pirates, a steering man who managed to save the treasure map and a shark. The shark is probably to keep the men on the nice raft from starving to death. The sails are what was left of the bigger ship they came from. I believe I have this set twice, but that makes two cute little indeed made up of "scrap" rolling barges, and lots of rum containers. You get some firearms and a jolly roger-flag as well.

this set is a fun set if you like the pirate legos you will love this set it comes with a shark and three pirates as you can see i played with this set a long time and made cool adventures fun set i love it.

There is so much to love in this set! Of course the raft itself, which has a great made-out-of-debris look. Unlike the later raft 6261 that looks way too sophisticated. As if pirates would go out on a raft just for fun?!

Oh well, back to this one. The minifigs. Three is a huge amount considering the size of the set. There's nothing special about them though, but I don't mind. I don't need anchor tattoos or whatever on my pirate torsos. I like the striped shirts best!

This set also has some nice extras. A shark for instance, waiting for one of the pirates to slip overboard. Second there is a map - I don't think there are many small sets having one - and finally one of those awesome pirate flags.

A must-have!

Of the small pirate sets, this is clearly the finest. I own a number of pirate sets, but this one is by far the finest in its size. It includes three figures, a great raft, a shark (!), a treasure map, and three figures. There is nothing to complain about here. Endless fun in a very compact package. The shark alone was worth the retail price of this set. A fantastic complement to the pirate ship, too.
