Thanks a lot Hadoque. Not really pirates but then again not all pirates looked like it.  ;) I wouldn't say no to these should they find their way into Klicky scale.
Cheers

My guess is we’ll see a pirate theme re-boot next year.

A friend of mine visited the Nürnberg Toyfair on Saturday, and I asked him to inform there with Geobra if there still would still be a (true) Pirates Ship, and this is the answer he got from Playmobil;

"At present there will be no more Pirates Ship as we shift our focus to the Movie Theme and the growing (hum) Knights Theme."

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Considering how completely in the dark the several departments are, I would not take that very seriously... Then again... who knows..

Of course - why would she/he state anything different.

Because such a statement has never been made before in the past 40 years...

Btw, here is my "Michiel de Ruyter" custom. He´s more based on the movie then on the portrait I linked to.

Horst would not have stood for these Shenanigins!

While that PM pirate ship is still sailing the seven seas (remember? The one launched by some children) there is hope that Geobra will be reminded that this iconic toy is still in the memories of many people!
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

It once used to be their "flagship" product.  ::)

You hit the nail with your custom made Klicky.

Because such a statement has never been made before in the past 40 years...
I work for a world wide operating company and we have to follow a strictly defined code of conduct why I understand how to look at such a statement. ;) There were times when the company stood for no arms and and all that but that was then.

Horst would not have stood for these Shenanigins!

Though I have neither met Horst nor Hans you might be very close to the point.
