A pox on your predictions, Bruce!
A return of the Pirate/Soldier themes is the SINGULAR thing TLG could do to
forever mend the extant rift between it and AFOL. The new 2000 lineup looks
good, a giant step in the right direction in fact, but its still not quite
fully on target -- the whole target!
I want more 1700s themes, dammit! If I can't have Pirates and Soldiers, how
about a colonial village, or London in the era of Moll Flanders or Barry
Lyndon, or a Castillian castle and REAL conquistadors?
How about Lego Empire, or Lego Baroque? Rococo?
Lego Solomon Kane?
Couldn't they just make a series of Soldier accessory packs? I can't be alone
in wanting to fill a field with soldiers of two kinds and muskets -- and I
guess Blue and Red is easiest (Redcoats and Prussians?). And of course, this
was a huge missed opportunity in Wild West -- speaking of the Blue and the
Grey conflict...
