New Ideas for Pirate LEGO Sets

[Hobbes]

In comparing classic pirates to vikings, I think I still like pirates better.

Oh, there's no doubt about that.

This would be a nice theme. I'd also like to see Greek mythology.

If it looks anything like Vikings I don't. If it looks anything like Classic Pirates I do.

[WesternOutlaw]

Looks like the majority of the voters like the idea of a Pirates of the Caribbean theme the best. I was just watching the first movie last night, and must admit it's a pretty good movie. It would make for a nice theme.

[Mister Phes]

.  In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with having both Viking and Pirates at the same time.

Technically, in 2005 there was still a Pirate theme... The lame 4+ pirate theme that is, and despite its lameness it is sadly still a pirate theme (of sorts)... My September 2005 - January 2006 LEGO Catalogue features both Pirates and Viking themes at the same time.

In fact, I think I like pirates better.  And the reason is that pirate and armada ships tie in nicely with castle sets.  Vikings just not as well.

That was the past however... If LEGO was to release another SYSTEM Pirate theme, would it integrate well with castle sets? Or would it be like trying to combine Viking and Knights Kingdom II sets with castle sets? I'm having nightmares about the latter... (And I'm still awake!)

I don't even call this a pirate theme- it's like Duplo- or even Megablocks; not even worthy of being considered classic Lego.

[Mister Phes]

Well you're right about that, The Brickster! :D

However the point is its still a similiar theme (I.e. a pirate theme) coexisting with a Viking theme, and nobody under 10 is going to know 4+ Pirates is any different to SYSTEM pirates... In theory...

[Col. Whipstick]

I couldn't bring myself to choose one option over the other.

Why can't I have them all? :-P

[Voodoo Hand]

either release sets that never have been released or Pirates of the Caribbean license and theme. Both are great!

[Captain Green Hair]

Wel... err..if i have to choose, i'd say a minifig scale ship would be nice.....but a bit expensive i think....

To see the POTC theme come out would be nice too....

[Johnny 5]

Well Megablocks :-X owns the Potc lisence right now and it would be expensive for TLG to get it also but I still want it.

I'd want to see a super accurate Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman.

Oh and the Imperial ship, also what is it the Dauntlis? That one was hugely awesome.

[Demon Officer]

I chose Port dockside, mainly because I am building a port town with my son but I would be happy with any new or re-issued Pirate set.

[Lt. Veers]

ARRG! *sing* Why do alot of people want PoTC? >:-(

P.S.- I voted for port/ Seaside town.

[Scouty]

Let's have an army of the Imperial Armada!!

[SirNadroj]

I voted a completely new subtheme. Who knows what LEGO would come up with? New pirates, new swords or hats even? :'-)

[radar92]

I voted port / town. I'd also like a few diffrent cannon.

[The Admiral]

I voted for Imperial armada army, but afterward decided a port might be better. -or a combination of the two!

[Mister Phes]

An Imperial Armada army guarding a port!

[hollisbrick]

I voted for the caves and stuff, although the docks/shops and stuff would be pretty cool to! *wub*

[Siegfried]

I voted for "A new very accurate/detailed pirate ship (mini-fig scale)". I would love another chance to have a real ship. :'-) As for PotC... M&g$Bl@ks can keep it. I think they are a match made in heaven. :-X

[Stauder]

I voted the same as sinner, But If I could I'd choose all EXEPT PoTC.

Origial Pirates On!

[Norrington]

Anything but PotC (except if it relates to The R.N. or E.I.T.C. charcters in some way). Frankly, I can't decide.

[zouave]

I want everything on there except POTC and been there done that. But since I can only choose one I chose Imperial Armada army.

[Admiral]

if it was a new line it may be only pirates... no guards/soldiers/armada, POTC would have all heros and 1 generic pirate or something, not to mention a lot of shadey things like the kraken, forget pirates is just wrong, and a port would be nice as long as it included sufficiently sized ships and forces. so Id go with a minifig scale ship

[AgentRick]

I wanted a re-release of the IMTP. After building a ship like it the contest, I'd like the real thing. ;-)

[Captain Ka-Boom]

Lego could make a fortune re releasing BSB *wub* and IMTP *sweet* on shop at home or stores. Like that castle they re-released.

[The Daphne Blue Strat]

Any Pirate sets would be welcome, as long as the quality of the design was as good as the Classic sets! Re-releasing Pirates would actually get me to buy Lego again for the first time since I bought the re-released BSB a few years back. Ironic, I think...
