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...

Damn, I don't remember writing this, but it sure sounds like I could have
written it.

I agree, I agree and ummm, I agree.

Except for the part about Blue and Red being Redcoats and Prussian - I
always thought of it as British and French infantry, with the Blues doubling
as British Navy as necessary.  For Prussians, I tend to use backpacks,
shakos, white epaulettes, blue pants, and the blue pirate shirt with the red
and white undershirt and brown belt.  Maybe you have to be there, but it
looks quite good IMHO.

(...) Yup, English and French (or aboard Limey ships, officers and marines). I like your Prussian. Bruce (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) 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 (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.pirates)
