PIRATES: Tim-Mee #5730 Pirate Fortress Playset - Pt 2 Final The Fort

This is the fort which came with Tim-Mee's Pirate Fortress Playset and it can rival just about anything Marx put out like their Fort Apache series. It includes not only the obligatory walls and gate but lookout towers that are actually easier to place figures in. Unlike Marx, who used tin-litho buildings as a part of their sets (a very big plus BTW), Tim-Mee made a small stable to fit inside the wall. There are enough accessories to bring life to the post. Once assembled the overall dimensions are 17 1/2" (44.45cm) W x 11 1/4" (28.57cm) D x 5.5" (13.97cm) H to top of gate. 

I'll be posting photos of these various sets in the coming days or weeks, all set up and ready to play.

Enjoy! Opa Fritz



There are four walls with ramparts/catwalks. the measure 5.3/4" (14.60) W x 4 1/4" (10.79cm) H


There are five walls with gun ports.

The stable is comprised of a side wall, front wall, and roof. While those three pieces all connect, once assembled the structure does not connect to any of the fort walls and basically gets tucked free standing, into the cor

PIRATES: Tim-Mee #5730 Pirate Fortress Playset - Pt 1 Accessories and Figures

I have to admit, I'm having a lot of fun with this Pirate stuff! I enjoyed photographing the Blue Box Pirate Ship playset but haven't yet set it up to play with my other Pirate toys. In the meantime, I have been photographing and playing with this Pirate Fortress Playset from Tim-Mee Toys. While there's no date listed anywhere on the box or instructions, the guys in the facebook groups date it to the '90s. Works for me. The next installment will feature the fort. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
