Lego brings back beloved themed set from the 90s fans say they're '100%' buying them
LEGO has re-introduced a fan favorite to market, and fans want to get their hands on the nostalgic '90s item.
The set in question has made a splash with some who love the retro item, because it comes with so many extras.
In a throwback to the 1980s, the world famous brand has released the 10320 Eldorado Fortress. It combines two pirate-themed sets.
Lego says the theme is one of its most popular and was chosen after it topped the charts in a recent 90th anniversary vote it had on the Lego Ideas platform.
The original set made its way on to store shelves in 1989 and was based on "Imperial Forts from the Golden age of the piracy era," per Lego blog Brickset.
It featured two tow boats - one designed for the two pirates ambushing the stronghold, and the other in red for the Imperial soldiers.

New Features
The reimagined version comes with over 2,000 pieces and swaps out the second boat for a much larger galleon and features fabric sails.
It also features a fortress with a working port, a jail, trap doors, a lookout with cannon and a functioning crane.
The intricate set also comes along with six soldier figures and two pirates - even a monkey.
According to L ego set blog Brick Fanatics, like other Lego Icons sets, the ship isn’t a direct remake isn't like the original, but rather, a modern redesign.

However, put side by side, the two are difficult to tell apart, per the site.
Some fans on Twitter were thrilled to learn of the return of the pirate favorite.
One said: "The selection from the LEGO team is so on point for the 90 years theme!"
A response on the Lego Group's tweet announcing the relaunch said: "Comes with a monkey, goes on my wishlist. Rules are rules."
Another simply said: "Take my money please..."
While another joked: "Got any gold coins?"
Availability
It may cost a pirate's booty to purchase, though. The set isn't inexpensive.
It is priced at $214 and will be available for VIPs at Lego.com starting July 4.
However, if you are not a VIP the product will first be available beginning July 7.
Finally, it may be a purchase that's good for big kids at heart. It's described as being best suited to those 18 and older, so younger kids may want an adult to help them all the pieces together.
