it would be so easy to have new islands but geobra just seems to forget their own "construction" strategies. in the african wildlife theme they made up a lot of "little" sets that could be added to one another creating a larger landscape. it would be so easy to do the same with a pirate island - dividing it in several smaller (and sellable) sets that would fit eachother using the system-x capabilities. ... the only improvement i can imagine would be some "finish" pieces that could be taken out when you decide to "glue" the various sets (this pieces would come out and be "stored" outside the growing island).... and a "long" island wouldn't be that odd - i am one of the proud few humans who have landed in the formigas islets (in the middle of the atlantic in the axores archipelago) and they can look very "piratical".[/font]
This is an awesome idea! You're right; they should do more sets in pieces like that. because huge toy sets just don't sell very well with parents. But then they could still be great sets if you WANTED to spend the monry to get all the pieces. I loved the way the African river was done, but I wish the pieces clicked together somehow or had connecting pieces to keep it together.
