I'm going to set to work on studio.io trying to replicate it also, gives something to do during lockdown, but it's going to be time consuming. If for whatever reason he won't release them, maybe pool our resources all of us interested in building the original Pirate Bay Idea to reverse engineer it? This new set promotes none of that, you buy the set for the ship and you display it in ship mode because it is more iconic as the ship and the ship is where the primary effort of the design went. Granted that some would take the original design apart to try and replicate some of the ships it was made of, but that's because the original design promotes creativity, you want to see what you can do with this batch of pieces left behind from different shipwrecks. The people buying this are buying it primarily for the ship and I feel that's unfortunate considering the original design. A lot of effort has went into selling the set based on nostalgia and the boat, even if the boat is not on the front in order to label the set as being the Ideas submission. Granted, a lot of effort has went into the design process, but what they have made and sold is a remake of the Black Seas Barracuda, not the 'Pirate Bay'. It's honestly terrifying what it means for Lego Ideas as a concept if the designers will just ignore the original submission in favour of whatever they deem will sell well. So metimes Le go does it right (Old Fishing Store), sometimes they do it just barely r ight (T reehouse) and so metimes its a disaster (Pirate Bay). This should not be changed and should have not been changed for the Pira te Bay . Might Lego use the release of a medieval Ideas set to bring back the classic castle theme? Maybe with a yellow color scheme like in set 375 (Classic Yellow Castle)? T he Medieva l Blacksmith uses muted co lors to create the atmosphere the fans were voting for. What could that mean for future sets, for example the Mediev al Blacksmith? Fans are calling for c astle s ets.
