Is this guy telling the truth?

[Axle]

Have a look at what the reviewer of this set said!

http://brickset.com/detail.aspx?Set=6281-1

If you are too lazy to click, he said:

Let me start out with good news: I heard from a worker in the LEGO company that they are definitely discussing more pirate sets, and that I wouldn't have to wait long for new Pirate sets that are really new, not rereleases.

I had great fun with this set, it's awesome. It's fun to play with, and I love the baseplate.

If he is telling the truth, I am extremeley excited!

[Shadows]

Let me translate that for you.

"Definitely discussing"

Bill: Hey Fred, remember those old pirate sets?

Fred: Sure, those were great.

Bill: Wish we still made those.

Fred: Me too.

"really new, not rereleases"

Coming soon: Pirates vs. Aliens, the Jelly invasion! Your toddler will love these new Duplo pirates and the fruit flavoured aliens they battle!

"I had great fun with this set, it's awesome. It's fun to play with, and I love the baseplate."

I'm selling it on eBay. L@@K! WOW! RARE!

;-)

ps. Edited to note this ... "Nov 29 2003 6:21PM" ... Since then, we got pirates. 4+ Jack Stone wannabe pirates.

I'm sorry Axle, but for raising false hope, you walk the plank! >:-(

*sad*

When I read that 4 years ago I was also excited.. guess what, 4 years later there are still no new pirate sets..

So yeah, you could call it false hope..

Closed (what the heck, I can't close anymore!?)

Sorry for this false report.....

That's probably what the reviewer was referring to.

No problem! ;-)

Closed

[Mister Phes]

But why would the thread be closed because of that? We never close threads!

Then why don't we just re-open it? Done.

So this message was a voice from the past...

But who knows, maybe he wasn't refering to the 4+ Jack Stone pirates.

Maybe he got his eye on plans to relaunch system pirates in 2008. Let's hope....

[Mister Phes]

Or maybe he WAS telling the truth because he knew even if he DID tell the truth he knew we wouldn't believe him... X-D

No, it think he was telling the truth not knowing he was telling the truth thinking we wouldn't know he wasn't telling the truth but he was. :-D

[Athos]

Since it was nearly 4 years ago that he said it, I don't think he knew what he was talking about... Though we did see the 4 Junior's pirates the following year.

Personally, I wouldn't place too much stock in a 4 year old comment by an anonymous poster...

I'm sceptic and that probably makes me pesimistic, but I think that's acceptable because I'm positive towards just about everything else X-D

[Captain Zuloo]

Well I bet you guys are all eating your words now! Ha! The report was true after all. What do you know?

Watch your mouth there, Cabin boy. You might just end up in the chamber.

And besides, the reviewer was referring to the pirates that came out next year. They were right.
