While I do love my BSB, I'd have to agree with Frank's earlier post about
the Trading Post. Great base with the small ship that ties into Evil
Stevie's Pirate Game, which is why I started buying Legos at 25.

The friend that gave (yes, gave!) me my BSB also has an El Dorado, and I
think it's a great target...I mean base for all of the soldiers. When I do
get around to setting up a Pirate game (note to self: ESPG, new
acronym?)he'll be manning the fortress walls with its shooting cannons!

For small sets, I'll with the small Shipwreck Island: 6260. It's the only
set I bought when it was new, just on a lark. I set it on a shelf in my
room and it stayed there until years later when I started my new hobby. I
like the fact it comes with a cannon, palm tree, two figs, and a nice plate
you can put anywhere in the ocean to maroon any Jar-Jar or Timmy...I mean
traitorous pirate. Yeah, that's what I meant.
