Seller: John 6246: Crocodile Cage

Absolute classic. Written by markwashington (AFOL , bronze-rated reviewer) in United Kingdom, 29 Dec 2016 Crocodile Cage (or Crocodile prison in the UK) was the second smallest Islanders set that Lego released. The 1994 UK Lego catalogue said this about it "To keep the marauding Pirates from stealing the Indigo tribe's treasure". Not a bad description! It consists of a small prison and an area where it appears an islander can wait while he guards his prisoner. This is the smallest set to contain the generic islander figure and he is very well equipped with a bow, arrows and a shield, obviously they were serious about not letting the pirates escape! The set is called Crocodile Cage not because the cage is for crocodiles but because it comes with a crocodile. Now I'm not a fan of Lego animals (sharks, monkeys, parrots etc) so I'll just say that it was good to get a crocodile with a smaller set but it does nothing for me, sorry. The cage comes on a small baseplate and is perfectly formed. I love the use of spears for the bars and the way the pirate sits inside is brilliant. The spiky shrub is a great addition and the totem pole type thing gives the set a complete feel. The pirate has a peg leg and the weapons (blunderbuss and sword) he was presumably found with are included in the set. Overall this is probably my favourite Islanders set. You get the best (IMO) Islander figure, a shield, a crocodile (make of that what you will) and a bone/feather wheel to adorn the scene. I would reccommend that you go out and buy this set if you're a Pirate fan because it stands alone as a real cracker. A must have in any collection!
