Pirates were definitely my favorite theme when I was younger. Problem is, in my opinion, there hasn't been a good line of pirate sets since the early 90's. I don't really count the POC theme because it's licensed and not entirely original. I'm talking about an original Pirates theme reboot. I miss those days and I think they could really do well because the City theme seems to be over-saturating the market right now. It might provide some more variety.

Pirates vs. Ninjas Would cut into the Ninjago though. But after Ninjago is over maybe.

I totally agree. The Pirate theme really needs a boost to get it back to what it was like in the early 90's. The thing is Lego would need to cut another theme. I wonder which theme it would be?

Yo-ho-ho and bottle of LEGO! ;)

Yes, another "me 2" post... but I agree. I can tell you I was excited to see that one of the upcoming Hobbit or LOTR sets was a ship! So, seeing your post made me realize I like the ships. I missed out on collecting them when they came out, and I am not willing to spend the money to pay for them today... but from here on out I will be buying at least 1 of any decent sized ship set that is produced.

All y'all are in luck with this.......Jake and the Neverland pirates duplo theme is coming this spring!! ;)

I'm guessing as long as they keep making Pirates of the Carribbean movies, we aren't going to see any Pirates theme... so only another 20 years or so!

I agree! I loved the pirate sets in the 90s, I would love to see the Pirate theme make a huge come back.

Nobody liked the 2009 pirates?

I know of them. Sorry, those ones just didn't really stick in my head quite so much.

They were only out for 6 months and flopped pretty bad I heard. Personally, I am glad they are coming out with a new pirates because that may be the only way we get anything from the pirate theme at all anymore.

That a Gangplank reference?

It was just a pun off the ol' classic pirate phrase. You know, "Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!" Are you referring to the character from League of Legends?

I would even take a reboot of the Vikings theme if they didn't do a reboot of Pirates. Pirates are still my favorite between these 2, but I loved the Vikings theme as well!

HELL YEAH! VIKINGS RULE!!!!

HELL YEAH! VIKINGS RULE!!!!

It may cost a bit but one of these days I'm planning on buying a complete collection of every Vikings set that LEGO did! Since they did the entire theme as a UK exclusive originally, there is a collectible aspect to them besides being really cool. Plus, THEY HAD FREAKIN' DRAGONS!!

Yes, I sure am!

I should have known. Considering your avatar is "Corporate Mundo", that was a "well, duh!" moment, wasn't it? I still haven't had a chance to play the game yet although I really want to. Always thought the artwork was great anyway and Dr. Mundo has been one of my favs since I saw the crazy bastard! Ha ha! Plus his abilities sound really good.

They will never be able to bring back the simplistic charm that the 90's had. :/ My only pirates set that I ever had was the 2001 Red Beard Runner, which I picked up at a thrift store for $3. I don't remember there being any missing pieces, and it was a big awsome set when it was finished!

I think that a Pirate Reboot is a must need! Imperial Flagship has got to be my favorite Lego set.

The Imperial Flagship is one of my all time favorites as well. What an iconic set! It is a must have for all pirate and ship fans.

It's the only set that I literally could not keep sealed in box. I bought five of them, over time all five got opened and built haha

All 5?? Haha, I've built one and sold all but one sealed one. I can never let my last sealed set go. I have the same problem with my last Emerald Night. I can't seem to let it go either.

to me, both of those sets, Imperial Flagship and Emerald Night are the most realistic sets (other than architecture) that Lego has done. I think that is why they are so appealing to AFOLs and that's what has made them so collectible.
