Any Idea When the 2010 Pirate Sets will be announced?

Last July we got our first pics of the new pirates in that display case from the lego store in Chandler AZ.

Anyone have an idea as to when we might see new set names or pics (assuming there will be more sets)

Let the Speculation Begin!

I can give a guess.

We started seeing pictures of the August series of IJ and SW and such in January/February, about 6 months before release. If news can trickle out like that again, then we'd be due to see the Pirates 2010 stuff in June-July.

This last line did not provide enough sets to survive two christmas seasons without new sets.

Bottom line is that this line of pirate sets could not make it one year in a child's gift giving "life". Once you factor in Christmas, Birthdays, etc... There are not enough Pirate sets for the amount of crap a kid could get. Also remember that the impluse sets (some of the best value ever in my opinion) are selling like MAD.

Dude to these factors, a new line of sets HAS TO be released for this year's holiday season. I agree completely that we see an annoucement or picture release in June or July, and the actual sets on the shelves in November at the LATEST.

If we don't see anything in June or July, don't hold your breath for this year. But the popularity of this reborn line suggests to me we will see something.

I hope you are correct, My offical guess is July....I am still hoping for Blue Coats

The 2010 line will show up late in the year, hopefully earlier than last time, at least early enough to promote with the Advent calendar.

The real hope is that there will be a small supplement to the line for fall 2009, a ship for the Imperials would be a good idea, but as of yet, we haven't heard anything.

Keep hoping and keep watching, and keep buying what is out there, it can only improve the odds of things continuing into the next decade.

Hating to be negative, but apparently here in the UK it's not supposed to be looking good for Pirates in 2010.

Although the way kids are going for Power Miners, if they TV advertised Pirates it might stand a chance!

Hmmm, where did you hear that? I'd be curious as to why they aren't selling well in the U.K....

Usually we get sort of a "set list" from someone around July, and then if last year is any indicator, they will be showing up at TRU and LEGO stores in November or so. Hopefully this year they will find their way to regular stores that early too.

110% correct.

[Legoking]

As everyone else said, 2010 pirate line pictures and news will most likely show up later in 2009.

Yeah, those sets last year came out on November 7th or 8th to coincide with that event in Orlando. I purchased mine from LEGOLAND California the same day, as they got them there as well. Does anyone know if they are having that event again? If so, that might be when they first appear.

[Erdbeereis]

I've definitely been doing my part in helping the new line stay afloat.

I hope they continue them for a long time.

[SlyOwl]

It's possible that there could be a repeat of the Dwarves' Mine schedule - a special set (Imperial Ship ) is first leaked in June/July, the first sets become available by October, and are widespread by December.
The rest of the line follows a little later (a month or two) behind.

[Filip]

I was hoping that there would be some new Pirate sets in June when all the other new sets are coming. Hopefully we will be seeing them this summer or autumn.

[CDC]

I dont care when new sets are announced, i just hope that we'll get them before the end of the year!
Fingers crossed

[Commodore Hornbricker]

I just hope we get some new Bluecoats!
