Staslegomaster Posted September 4, 2015 Judjing by your great nostalgic idea, you're a real LEGO pirates fan. So am I. I still keep all the LEGo catalogues since 1990, some from different countries. And I quite agree they were better at that time. My project is also about pirates nostalgia. To bring back old pirate sets is a dream of many fans. and LEGO ideas give us a chance from time to time. If I am completely honest I don't see a purely pirates set so far, getting anywhere close to the 10 000 support though it's a dream of any LEGO fan. -And The Flying Dutchman can prove the posibility. I think pirate Lego Ideas are always worth trying, just as a way of telling Lego we are still here and let them not forget us. And thanks for your idea again.

Matthias Posted September 5, 2015 You should also own 1989 as the first wave came out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezclatipoca Posted September 9, 2015 This 94' scan is one of the prettiest! I agree with you, I've found the original and those from 1989 to 93 too mixed in my booklets ! But I think this one is the best and responsible of my love for the Islanders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sens1992 Posted September 10, 2015 They were waaay better in the 90's! They will likely never come back :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jreacher Posted September 10, 2015 Back in the early 90s I spent hours looking at them, dreaming of one day having all the Pirate sets. The physical dioramas provide far better depth and atomsphere than their modern drawn counterparts. The extra effort really does add something to the presentation. I agree!, As a kid of the 80's and early 90's I would spend time looking at these beautiful pictures, wishing for the sets i did not have. I even wish I had layouts like that for my stuff. I really wish technology would stop ruining classic forms of art such as these old Lego ads. Lego needs to bring back classic pirates and castle. I love my BSB, SES, IMTP etc... just wish lego would bring back those types of builds. I especially miss the minifigs! Black Knights castle came with 4 horsemen!!!! the last lego castle only had 1 horseman!!! WHY!!!!! Also why did th enew pirate ship have no monkey or parrot!

ommegga Posted September 17, 2015 They were waaay better in the 90's! They will likely never come back :( I'm not sure if they were better. Color scheme was much darker thou which seems like suited Pirate theme very well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
