I think they will go back to Wild west within the next three to four years.
For now they are too busy with star wars and some of the other new themes. If
we show more interest here for the western theme than in the past maybe they
will take notice.
I definately would like to see a civil war theme! There is just too much left
to be done with this theme. Too many ways to expand it. You could even
modernize the pirates a little to fit the time line of the west.
We need more wild west.

| (...) A Civil War theme would be great!! They can have little forts, or some of the armored ships that started to appear then! Tons of playset possibilites . . . . -Jonathan (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.western)
