2011 ?

Are you saying they are discontinueing the entire Pirate theme?!?! 

I think it's more likely to be replaced by a re-make of the same theme.

... Instead of introducing silly, still-born themese like ghost pirates and jungle thieves (or whatever that was), ... But with the Roman theme, there was so much that couldve been done with it.  ...

Actually, the ghost pirates theme is quite popular here. And it is has more appeal to my kids as the romans which they consifer to be "just another knight" ...
Even the jungle thieves theme would get played with. I am sure. These have plenty of "links" with their world. The romans much less so.

It would have been a extremely cool theme if they had expanded it further, though I doubt very much it did well and doubt even more the extentions would have done better.
It's just too specialised. I think.

I think it is.... first germany, 6 months later, rest of Europe.... 6 more months later rest of the world. correct me if Im wrong please. 

I think that's right, Gaston, and the UK isn't part of Europe.

what do you mean?    I don't get it 

Release Germany
6 Months later Rest of Europe (Excluding UK (and Greece???))
6 Months later Rest of the World

Does that make more sense Gaston?

The UK gets the new releases 12 months after Germany and six months after the rest of Europe, that is, in the same year as, for example, the USA.

It's also an olde joke.  You would probably have to be of British descent to have heard it, though.
