Professor Kettleburn's (the guy with the wooden leg) torso in 76454 Hogwarts Castle: The Main Tower could maybe be useful:

Tough luck for anyone not close to a Lego store...

PaB has been updated and there are some interesting parts like the old type of palm leaf in sand green and the older looking door from 10332 Medieval Town Square. But the most important part is that the bluecoat torsos are still available!

Well it won't lead to more Pirates sets, thats for sure.

Hmm the lack of engagement in this thread really speaks volumes about the lack of excitement of this from Lego Pirates fans.

I'm not that excited for this. Maybe there will be some boat parts that could be useful. Any sails will probably be printed according to the series so that you can't use it for other things though. The one thing I'm excited for is the opportunity to get a somewhat accurate tar hat mould from the main characters straw hat (even though it's not flat on top...).

Right, I actually forgot about the Dreamzzz one, I was quite excited when it came out. Too bad it hasn't gotten more use. It would be nice to get a pirched version though. Would set the mood in a lot of sets.

It's a bit strange that we haven't got a corvid mould yet actually.

Ah, so it was a false rumour then. That's too bad. For the rest, I agree with you on all points!

Which is strange because I remember some time ago there was news that the design lead for the Friends theme was taking over the City theme and everyone was excited thinking that City would be more building focused, but now it seems like we instead just get more vehicles with each year.

That's true, I remember now I was surprised by that. That gives me hope for the Black (Dragon) Knights.

Yeah, sadly I don't think Creator sets get any new prints. The Black Falcons in 31120 were available only because Medieval Blacksmith was released before that.

In Sweden it's still available at the internet retailer Toyspace, but they have raised the price since it became sold out at Lego.com

Maybe it's a CMF series? Although that's probably unlikely since we get the Pirate Quartermaster in the regular CMF.
