Is this the final LEGO Pirate set ever?

First we debated, "LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, was it true?"  Then we all pondered aloud, "Would that theme be any good?"  Then we asked, "Are we excited?"  And finally we question, "How will Pirates of the Caribbean compare to the 'classic pirates' theme?!"

Now the debate has turned again.  One has to wonder, "Will we see ANY LEGO pirate sets, whether they be in the Caribbean or not, in 2012?"  Voice your opinions, thoughts and rampant speculations now!

Our PotC themes discusssion thread may seem a little bit confusing with 111 pages, so here are some interesting new finds:

• Two trailers of the new LEGO video game: here and here.
• There is going to be a mysterious wooden Jack Sparrow minifigure.
• There are a few reviews already on a Russian forum (in Russian, but the pictures tell the tale):

Reviews: Isla de Muerta, The Cannibal Escape and Whitecap Bay, made by VerSen & Zeek.

• And finally, a few new posters of the movie have been posted here.

And if you've seen all this stuff, it's time to...

...discuss it in the LEGO Pirates Forum!

The official trailer has been released!

Eurobricks member Andre1989nl shares the official trailer for the upcoming movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" with us. A very promising movie to look forward to! Mermaids, zombies, Blackbeard and many more dangers on the road to the "Fountain of Youth"!

See the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, official trailer for yourself in the forum!

Possible future minifigs?

As you may recall, we the members of Classic-Pirates.com have a reason to believe that LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean line will be released some time in the future. It's also been stated that the POTC: On Stranger Tides movie (which is to be released next year) will include some Spanish characters, ships and locations.

Also, the upcoming POTC: Armada of the Damned video game will include characters resembling Spanish minifigs from the classic LEGO Imperial Armada subtheme (see the above screenshot).

Does this mean that we are going to get new Imperial Armada-like minifigs and sets, for the first time since 1997 (not counting the 2001 re-release)?

Stash2Sixx - our wealthiest member so far...

Many of us, the fans of LEGO Pirates, have those gold coins that are included in many Pirate sets. They come in values of 10, 20, 30 and 40. Have you ever tried adding all of your coins up, like real money, to find out how rich you are?

Some Classic-Pirates.com users have already done so, and it turns out that our richest member so far is Stash2Sixx, who has a total amount of 23 360 in gold! He even posted a picture of his treasure.

Do you want to show us your gold coins? Or perhaps you have even more coins than this? Or do you want to see the full list of our wealthiest users so far?

Eurobricks and Classic-pirates.com member curtisrlee has made an interesting discovery which could well be th start of a firely discussion! Are the new 2009 Pirate sets made from inferior plastic? Is there weak ink going into the printers? Or is it just his parts?
