  Re: What does this mean?
 
In reference to the question about TLG bringing back the Pirate theme, they did bring back the castle theme and now I am seeing lots of those sets on clearance at TRU, if they bring something back it needs to sell a LOT not just placate all of us (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: What does this mean?
 
(...) I make one smartalecky remark and spark a debate. :-) I think of the Islanders as more South Pacific than South American. The Adventurers Jungle didn't do a particularly good job with the Incan/Mayan look (I suppose the Aztecs weren't quite in (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: What does this mean?
 
(...) Well, I like them whether they're pirates or not. Cool pieces, and the designs are not bad (if somewhat generalized) Native South American style. Kinda like the early (and better!) generation of the jungle adventurers. I'd love to see a new (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: What does this mean?
 
(...) I only like 'em for the anti-imperialist angle. Oh, and those neat faces. But I think the Islanders most certainly must be considered Piratey! Lord knows we're gonna see enough of them in this year's Game... best LFB (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: What does this mean?
 
(...) Enchanted Island is pirates. It's got that cute little pirate skiff. :) The Islanders are just window dressing. <ducking any rabid Islander fans> James (23 years ago, 28-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: What does this mean?
 
(...) I thought we were talking about pirates? :-) Bruce (23 years ago, 28-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: What does this mean?
 
(...) And Enchanted Island. ;) James (23 years ago, 28-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: What does this mean?
 
(...) They are bringing back the Armada Flagship and Red Beard Runner for direct sales only. That's it. Everything else is rampant speculation or wishful thinking. Of course, the hope is that this leads to some of the older and better designs being (...) (23 years ago, 28-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  What does this mean?
 
The Pirates are back, or they will be. What does this mean, though? Will we be seeing the Skull Eye Schooner? I also heard that some people were talking about the Lego company adding to the theme. Like Imperial guards, but adding another ship, or (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I haven't built it yet... Frank (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.fabuland, lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) so bring it tomorrow! Please note I will count my little sailor monkeys BEFORE you leave! ;-) sheree (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.fabuland, lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) peeps... Hey there's room for Fabuland in Pirates... Wait til you see my Pirate ship with a Fabuland crew.... I just wish it was a little easier to get those cute monkeys with the sailor caps. Frank (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.fabuland, lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) Grin. Na, I think you're OK, I won't be getting a bigger FabuJones. I have a few MIB Fabuland sets, and the Collins Gang gave me a bunch of used stuff that Taya plays with, I'm set. I do need to get Mickey complete, though. Hoping for some (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.fabuland)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) A "version" did come back... Mickey. Not a bad little offering, too bad it was a one shot deal, apparently. ++Lar (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) Anti-FL? Well even the most intelligent are entitled to a lapse or two in judgement. What hits me is that you Larry might have some reason to become interested in acquiring more Fabuland. More competition for a finite supply...gee, just what I (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) << TRIMMED >> (...) Okay, I don't know why the upcoming Classics sets were selected to be classics but I am not so sure I even like the idea of re-releasing old sets. Yes, there are many excellent old Lego sets that I would like to purchase, (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) Personaly, I wouldn't mind seeing a VERSION of fabuland come back, perhaps with the figs more in range sizewise as conventional minifigs. It would add a little spice to your town scene to have a bear or rabbit walking down the street or (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  HELP!
 
When it is said that "6280 Armada Flagship" will be re-released in a new layout, what does that mean? I did notice that on the package for the new one that the cannon was red, but does that mean that they will throw in pieces of different colors (...) (23 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) 4a. (one of the most important): 2x2x3 extreme sloped corners (currently in blue, dark grey) No problem with the mold. (...) If the yellow castle was re-introduced with the modern visored helm (currently used in Knights Kingdom sets), I'd buy (...)

  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) Good analysis. The hard part from my viewpoint is the helmet visor. Tis made of a different plastic and surely has been out of production for an awfully long time. It sounds like, since you proposed some other mods, that you would be OK with (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)
