I'm afraid the Wild West theme won't be continued, it doesn't seem to be
very popular if you compare the number of contributions in this newsgroup to

Hard to say... you are measuring it to a very demanding scale... Pirates and
Castle (and Space) are the most popular themes LEGO has produced; it's a hard
act to follow.

I liked western - some good sets for parting out(1), and decent playability
(IMHO).  It just never took off.  My personal opinion is that cowboys and
indians just aren't "cool" for kids to play with any more - LEGO missed the
boat on timing.

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)
