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

Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be one piece sets and I’m not thrilled about that

What??? Where have you heard this? I really hope not, I would only buy for hull pieces at that point

I don't see how "Pirate fans will be eating well" means new theme in the first place how did it get to One Piece

Clay said earlier this year that one piece sets were being considered.

 The same leak said f1 collectible minifigures, another series of marvel collectible figs (spider verse) and more fortnight sets. 
 
considering the others have all come true, I’d say the one piece (Netflix not anime series) ones are what he’s talking about.

I definitely didn't say that, I would never act like I know what Lego is considering

Netflix One Piece has now been reported by Kramer.

Don't think that's all though...

Will at least be interesting to see those sets

Clay please just one more hint 😭

I'm not that excited for this. Maybe there will be some boat parts that could be useful. Any sails will probably be printed according to the series so that you can't use it for other things though.

The one thing I'm excited for is the opportunity to get a somewhat accurate tar hat mould from the main characters straw hat (even though it's not flat on top...).

I think it’s a good idea for a run of sets. I don’t think it will quite scratch the classic pirates itch for me, however these sets are likely to be colorful and creative. Depending on how they turn out I might be interested. When I first heard of the DnD castle set I was uninterested but the final design and then the CMF series made that turn out very cool as a more fantasy castle spinoff thing. This could be similar where they won’t necessarily go with traditional pirate sets but could be a neat accompaniment.

 

As others have said maybe the parts that come from these sets could be quite useful in MOCs

What is One Piece? I've never heard of this, and now it's going to be a Lego theme?

It's a Japanese manga series, a 1999 anime series with over 1,100 episodes (and counting!) and a bunch of films, plus a newer 2023 live action Netflix show. The only reason I know any of this is because:

A) I looked it up on Wikipedia.

B)  I know some people who are obsessed with the older show and are really excited for it, but I'm not one of those people who cares one iota about this theme... if it's based off the original anime, it would shock me as it's far too adult for LEGO from what I've been told / been shown by my friend.

It will be based on the Netflix show. That's what the rumor says.

I never heard of it either.  Count me as only interested if there are good usable pirate & ship parts.

Same here. I just watched the trailer on YT and some photos.

Exactly what I am thinking. Unfortunately the main protagonists do not look like (historically accurate) pirates.

At least the price per piece is not as high as in other licensed themes. I wonder what the 3402pcs set will be? A big ship? But Black Pearl and another ship on shelves at the same time - can it be? I don't even know how many parts a big ship would have nowadays.

I shall be another who is only interested in the useful pirate pieces that may come forth.

Hmm the lack of engagement in this thread really speaks volumes about the lack of excitement of this from Lego Pirates fans.

In fairness apart from set numbers and prices and a handful of leaked parts, there's not much to discuss. I expect when set pictures actually show up it'll be easier for Pirates fans to evaluate how relevant the theme is or isn't to their particular interests.
