In "Bridge Walker vs White Lightning" the spear guns were used on Bridge Walkers head. At the time I though it was just an interesting part choice, but soon after Aqua Raiders turned up. Now one of the new Indy sets is using the old cutlass, a part that hasn't been used for six years. Does this mean that Pirates are coming back? 8-|

[Mr. Mandalorian]

Not to be a pessimist, but I doubt it. They were probably subbing it in for a different part. Besides, it looks like old grey to me. ;-)

[Deinonychus]

I'd like to believe it meant the return of Pirates...but I doubt we can call that a definitive sign.

Hope I'm wrong though

[Mister Phes]

I don't like being a pessimist either, but the LEGO Group tends to bring back old pieces unexpectedly (like the monkey in the Speedracer sets - I wasn't expecting that) but it never seems to any relation to themes they may potentially release in the future.

I can't really imagine them thinking "Well lets sneak X piece into this set because we're going to revive Y theme in the near future"

It would be good to be wrong though.

..errr... what do you mean by that? I'm saying that they might have re-made the mold; according to the instructions it comes with two.

Actually I was. The monkey is a main character and the part was used only four years ago.

Gleek, the monkey in Speed Racer, is as much a character as some of the others, so he had to be in there.

Should I mention that the lamp post in Cafe Corner is referred to internally by TLG as a"Fabuland Standard", or would that get someone's hopes up? ;-)

I don't know about pirates, but I hope the little Elven pic is an indication of a future faction for Castle. Until we see something that bold, I won't believe in new pirates. *shudders* New pirates. Just imagine how wrong they could get it...

This thread title is a little deceiving. It should be amended! Like: "Cutless to forshadow a Return?"

In any other case:

No. Maybe they used it because there is actually a cutless in the movie...

:O Movie spoiler!!!!

Isn't that the same meaning as the current title? How do you read it?

Well Fabuland parts have been recycled a lot; but I don't see that as meaning much. But there is no reason why they had to use the cutlass, or even include a sword at all. But sadly I'm probably wrong... I was just curious what others thought.

I got it. I simply meant that they stuck an old one in his hand. Of course they're going to re-make the mold.

It sure does look like old gray... But maybe that's just the picture.

Someone will need to get a copy of this set once it's released and take a close-up picture of the sabre.

It should be soon since the instrustions are available.

[Sir Dano]

I think they are.
Another possible hint: theres a Conquistador(sp?) helmet in the big set.

[Lt. Veers]

It could mean a lot, but I don't know. And that's what I voted.

As they say in the old TV Commercials...

A cutlass isn't a cutlass Unless it's a DuraSlicey© cutlass!™

Sounds like they could be returning, but it could just be a placeholder.
