Hmm I’m guessing a big ship and maybe some cool builds. Fingers crossed for non licensed sets for me!

I really need an imperial flagship. I'm assuming POTC isn't coming back but at the same time a bunch of pirates parts got retired on PAB including imperial uniforms...worrying. This points to licensed sets and there have been 0 rumours of POTC. The goonies ship and BDP are the only things I can think of right now

PAB also removed the sheep, but that is in a new City set, maybe they removed it to increase the price Anyway PAB is not a trustworthy source to predict the future.. That said I do not believe we get a normal Pirates wave before I see it

Maybe I got the source wrong. Let me see if I can find the origin of it. Pretty sure I screenshot it.

my bad, was someone responding to you.

I need to know before I blow the bank on the old sets this Christmas))

Maybe it's a CMF series? Although that's probably unlikely since we get the Pirate Quartermaster in the regular CMF.

Unfortunately we are getting these three CMF series next year (Spiderverse is only a rumor at this point):

• Regular CMF series 27
• Formula 1 cars
• Spiderverse

Thanks for the news!

I would highly welcome a new, unlicensed Pirates set next year!

 

Like @Roebuck said, that the Imperials torsos will be removed from PaB doesn't say anything - they might appear there next year again. Plus have you thought about Lego could also release an exclusive, big Pirates set neither been based on Bluecoats or Redcoats, but on the Armada?

I am not as optimistic. Eldorado Fortress didn't sell that well as Lego had hoped so they will not investing in a new pirate theme or set. CMF and BDP(or other brick brands) are the only way to get some pirate things... But a pirate /imperial ship from Lego , no. Not while the Endurance is on the shelves.

Honestly, i think the Endurance will sell even worse. The set is too niche and there's no nostalgia factor to it.

I think someone here was asking about the new Leonardo da Vinci's torso. Here be a closer look at it:

It seems more suitable for vikings/medieval aristocrat or such, then again, it could bode well for northern pirates.

Thank ye

The printed tile also looks very good. Here's hoping the torso, legs and printed tile will show up at PAB eventually. Fingers crossed!

I fear that you are right. But ...

1. If Lego already had gotten up after one try in the past, the company wouldn't exist these days anymore. They know now that retro sets with elements of nostalgic sets of the past (Lion Knights' Castle, Medieval Town Square) work most of the time better that a more or less replicia of the original set. So if they e. g. made a re-design of the Caribbean Clipper, but in the size of the Imperial Flagship, I bet that this set would sell very well.

2. The Endurance is not System scale and is only for displaying (in a showcase). Of course you can do this with a System scale Pirates theme based ship, too, and for sure some people would do. But the target audience here would mainly be people who then would use the ship for putting it into a Pirates layout or giving it to their kids for playing. So no, I don't think that (the sales numbers of) The Endurance will take influence on a Pirates theme based System scale ship.

Yes, I agree.
