Thats what I thought, but since islanders are taboo (no pun intended) maybe civilians instead, merchants, wenchs, governors daughter etc.

A pirate themed one! Just wishful thinking...

Thank you! Super versatile set indeed.

They were trying to be discreet, but your sharp eye spoted them.

Captain Redbeard and the (reinforced) crew of the Black Seas Barracuda celebrating the successful sacking of La Sabatina.

Altough my favorites are Chihiro and Mononoke I belive Howl's Moving Castle could be an amazing set.

Agreed! That would be my first choice, but I don't know if they are as popular in America as they are in Japan and Europe and that may influence TLG choices.

True, Interstellar Spaceship is a beautiful modernized version of 918 Space Transport full of printed pieces (and no stickers!) at a fair price. Call it City, Space, whatever, its Sci-Fi and I love it!

I meant to say castle and space, stupid me forgot to write "space"... Btw, the knight torsos are, or were, also at PAB.

Interesting fact, a quick Bricklink search for the Vending Machine minifigs revealed that the space and knight ones are way more expensive than the pirate ones (the others are worthless). Does this means that there are more castle and fans than pirates? Or just that they tend to army build much more than us? Speaking for myself I prefer diversity and usually just buy one or two more to populate the BSB and the bay. (ex. Cecília (aka cmf20 pirate girl, the orange BaM pirate etc.)

Brick built sails... 1,074 pieces, what do you think, maybe 3 minifigs?

Again Spooky AND Pirates, why can't we have JUST Pirates sets? Not to mention the restrictive availability of gwp sets.

That is the only thing worse than fleshies, mixing lemon heads with fleshies. But this is the unpopular opinions topic, so anything goes and I wouldn't dare to say that your opinion is more unpopular than mine.

There are exceptions, BAM Pirate Dreamzzz is very useful for pirate theme Wathever the theme fleshies are the most useless of all.

One more year without pirate sets...
