Official Information
Taken from the official on the BrickLink website:
Land Ho! With its strong walls and strategic defenses, Coconut Cape serves as a guardian of the ocean, deterring pirates and ensuring the safety of the surrounding trade routes. It stands as a beacon for ships and a refuge for the weary. Remember to always keep an eye out for hidden treasure! Buried deep within the walls, a secret compartment reveals precious gold and gems for the plundering!

Modules
Coconut Cape separates into five modules, more so for accessibility than display – it appears the modules cannot be easily be combined into different arrangements beyond the initial design. Or can they?
Here be the modules of the modular design
Although, the upper-most module which contains the Commodore’s residence, office and dining room, perhaps stands on its own as a smaller set.
Minifigures and Faction
Classic Pirates has delved into the surge of new LEGO Pirates factions which have appeared in recent times, noting that the Coconut Cape imperial minifigures loosely resemble those of the criminally neglected Imperial Armada sub-theme.
Lavender coats?
While the Coconut Cape’s core regiment remains similar to the initial submission’s recruits, the production version features a new, regal minifigure in command, sporting the lavender torso which first appeared in the Series 7 version of Privateer Frigate Fortuna, albeit not on the captain minifig.
The highest ranking officer and his wife… daughter… niece?
Quite far removed from the vibrant red torso of the established Imperial Armada admiral, Don Diego de LEGO, so we could assume this is brand new character.
And low and behold! An Imperial Armada-inspired flag sticker is included…
Both Imperial Armada and Imperial Guard flags are included
Curiously enough, an Imperial Guard flag is thrown in for good measure… so perhaps your red coat army will eventually conquer the cape… or be that your Unpredictable Privateers disguised as Imperial Guards?
Interior
Coconut Cape offers plenty of details to keep the design interesting.
Barracks
The soldiers sleeping quarters features a brick-built bunk and various useful items. What likes within those trunks and sacks? Could be spoils claimed from apprehended pirates, or it could be the soldiers laundry?
Sleep peacefully on the bunks while a prisoner screams for the cell!
A couple of flyers hastily decorate the wall; what appears to be a recruitment poster, and a public health and safety warning – should there be any doubt that befriending sharks may pose potential health risks.
Battlements
The ramparts are spacious and easily accommodate two cannons, although some fans may be disappointed they’re brick-built, rather than the traditional spring loaded artillery of their youth.
Plenty of soldiers and plenty of firepower! 💥
The garitas, a defining feature of the original design, are retained; however, they still remain too small to accommodate minfigures.
Secret Treasure Cave
At first glance, this nifty module appears to be little more than a rocky outcrop at the cape’s rear, yet once detached, it unveils a cavern glistening with treasure.
Treasure! But still no vac metal coins
This reveal instantly affords the pirates a sense of purpose: are they raiding the cape and stashing its riches in this hovel? Or be their ambitions far grander and quietly taking shape behind within these shadowy confines?
A Jolly Roger stands ready to mark the pirates’ claim over the cape.

What Do Yer Think?
Has the production version of Coconut Cape met yer expectations? If not, what alterations would you make to the final version?
Is this the Imperial Armada stronghold we’ve been waiting for?
What about the minifigure line-up? Were Imperial Armada inspired minifigs the right choice? Or should they be sidelined until the correct parts become available again? Instead, should one of the previously introduced BrickLink Designer factions have been garrisoned at Coconut Cape?
Ready yerself, crew! Pre-Orders will commence in…
