I would love to see Pirates come back and I do have a bit of info, but it might be nothing...
Recently, I saw they changed the yearly decorations on the Lego House Tree.
The new theme of the tree is now: PIRATES!
The whole tree is covered in some awesome Pirate dioramas, just check it out:
It's at the 0:25 mark, where they look at the massive tree.
This really makes me hopefull, because they wouldn't just make this and than nothing more right? It's The center-piece of the Lego House!
i'm sorry if someone already posted about this, I didn't have the time to go through 25pages of comments and I'm excited! ;)
