I'm inclined to say no, but I'm an "I've got all the ones I want"
completist, so my opinion may weigh in for less. Certainly there will be
nutbars(1) out there that will insist you aren't complete unless you have

It *isn't* Pirate or Technic or Town, it's Classic. Different marketing,
different packaging, different target.
