I think the Pern series would make a great Lego theme, and many
of the parts already exist. You already have dragons (although they
are a bit small for the Pernese dragons compared to the size of
minifigs) and many people would welcome them in more colors
(mmmm, gold and bronze dragons!), while the new parts required
would be useful in other themes (musical instruments, for example).

"a bit small"?  That's an understatement! :)

I think Pern would work better as a MOC theme (and it's way more likely to
happen).  The dragons are big enough that they should be built out of
bricks, which we can already do.  The dwellings and equipment are mostly
straight medieval town stuff.  The sailing ships can be made from Pirates
parts.  We've got the dolphins.  The beasts-of-burden (and watch-whers)
might be a challenge, maybe they could be made from the Dinosaurs parts?
The one-piece pterodactyls from Adventurers could serve as fire lizards
(though they aren't available in enough colors).

What sets would you like to see in this "theme"?
