Micro Forbidden Island (6270)

Ahoy! I remember getting Forbidden Island (released 1989) as a gift on the way to our cabin when I was 10 years old, and had a great time building it. This is an awesome hideout, with heaps of stuff a kid could wish for: There's a monkey, shark, parrot, treasure, palm tree, barrel o' weapons, cannon, boat, a lookout post, a cool bridge. A fierce pirate crew, lead by the ruthless Captain Red Beard! An Imperial Soldier, who can attack the pirates -though he might end up imprisoned by them.. And speaking of prison, there's a hidden trap door which the soldier can fall through -or maybe one of the pirates? -It's your choice! PS: A working trap door also made it into this micro-scale model!

This is an iconic set which I have spent many hours playing with as a child, and it's the only set I still have complete from my childhood, so it holds a really special place in my collection. I couldn't think of a set more suited for a micro-scale model for "90 years of play". Happy birthday! Yarrrgh!
