Wouldn't a viking theme be based on the Viking Mythos anyway?  I mean, there
were no dragons in medieval times either, but I gots ta have my dragon in my
castle set.  Even the pirates are kind of archetypical, based more on Errol
Flynn movies than the privateers of the old world, eh?

Aaah, but you see, I was quibbling.  I'd make Vikings horned, too.
Interesting note, Viking Voyager didn't have horns
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=Viking+Voyager.  This is another
set I loved as a kid.  I'm sure I still have it... somewhere.

I always wanted that set...  :(

I think TLG could do a first rate job on a Viking theme.  Large Viking boat
Viknig fiord village or even attaking an English village(understanding they
were not English  but really Saxons at that time)  Maybe even get into the
Viking gods Thor Oden and the evil giants with  Loki.

Yes, it would be cool.  I'd kinda like to see more rotation of Castle themes,
so we can get other cultures in our lands.  :)  I now actually think Ninja was
a good thing, and I'd like to see it make another run in a couple years.  The
buildings needed work though...

Let them do the Vikings then maybe a middle east theme and we could do
crusades battles

Yes, then we could get djinn and scimitars and stuff!  :)  I love scimitars!
