  Got you with the first part!

Please create new Category "Pirates IV" for set 10320; the Bluecoats
included have a new torso print, so I think that we can say that this marks the
beginning of a new era of Pirates.

Is it a new era? All the new castle stuff based on vintage sets went into old categories.


Unlike Space and Castle, BrickLink divides Pirates into eras (Pirates I in 1989,
Pirates II in 2009, and Pirates III in 2015); all three iterations saw new designs
for the pirates, soldiers, or both. By this reasoning, we need a new category
for the new Eldorado Fortress (Pirates of Barracuda Bay would also fall into
this category, IMO, if it were not an Ideas set).

I guess the real question is is it a new era, if it is a remake or revised version of a set from an old era.


Technically only Pirates I was "new" (giving us Bluecoats, Redcoats,
Armada, Islanders, and a wide variety of pirate torsos); all subsequent pirates
sets have just been remaking and remixing the original Minifig designs.
