   We should be going crazy. Think this over:

-We see old technic and town sets clearly in modern boxes (e.g. labeled city
center)

-We see two pirate sets in all new packaging

-Lego dosn't usually make new packaging for just two sets, or limit them to
one country.

-Whenever Lego makes big sets in a theme, they also make lots of little ones

-Lego dosn't usually ralease things over $50 in only one country

-People may start to get mad that Lego is only selling things they already
have, so Lego will probably also make new sets

    If you didn't get one word of that, let me interpret: EITHER PIRATES ARE
COMIN' BACK, OR EVERY THEME WILL HAVE OLD SETS RE-REALEASED (yellow castle?)!

If this IS the july suprise, we may be pleased sooner than we think...

Some thoughts why I am not going crazy: - Last year a lot of #6280 were sold at a german toy shop chain, although the Pirate theme wasn´t listed in the catalogue (...)

Crazy? Perhaps a bit of an overstatement, but I'm excited to see those new (old) Pirate ships and that Technic front end loader! Lego has completely dropped the Technic line, its not on their website and only a tiny number are in the last catalog I (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle)
