Hi Andrzej,

I'd like to ask: how about Pirates? We heard the
new Pirate sets will be 4+, with Jack Stone scale figures.

Since I own the latest german dealer's catalog, I can tell you that for certain:
Pirates are Jack-Stone-scaled in 2004. Sets are with many large elements, but
also with a few very nice parts (new pirate flags, maps on 4x4-tiles, chrome
weapon...). Sorry,  I'm NOT allowed to upload pictures before mid-december and I
will NOT send pictures by mail. But I would bet we will see the pictures
somewhere in the next days :-)

That means no more
regular minifig scale Pirates?¬

Let's hope TLC will make a Pirate-theme with minifigs in the future too.

I was convinced after seeing the set numbers on the pirate sets (7070-...) that the sets would be minifig scaled, because recent minifig-themes (orient expedition, world city) are all in the 7-series, whereas the new 4-juniors sets (formerly known as jack stone) have set numbers starting with “4”. The new “bionicle-castle” sets also fit this reasoning since they are in the 8-series like “old” bionicle. Therefore I was not surprised they were not in minifig-scale when the pictures popped up.

Guess the logic does not hold for the pirate sets (still hoping it will though...)

Rick.
