With the 5th movie, will Lego bring it back?  It would seem fitting, they might be finishing the LOTR/The Hobbit line temporarily (although I wouldn't be surprised if that has a more permanent spot eventually).

I really hope so. I missed out on the first good sets - I want one of those ships.

If so, I'm buying five of every ship in the lineup!

Waiting for emazers to come in and say hes buying 75 each. I wonder how many queen Anne's and Black Pearl's he had.

as of right now I have 47 Black Pearls and 42 Queen Revenge, and when Costco had the Black Pearls for $59.99 on Clearance since nobody was buying them I should kick myself for not buying 100 of them. Ed

Want to sell me a black pearl for fellow brickpicker discount. By the way, how do you have enough room in your house to keep all of your legos?

One thing for sure, the minute TLG mentions a new version of Black Pearl is the time to dump your stock of current Black Pearls.

I really hope they do so I can buy it cheap lol

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling it isn't coming back.

Good point. I'd buy all the older Black Pearls just to get a laugh.

I don't guarantee it, but I would be surprised if not.  I think it might end up like Hogwarts Castle, many different variations.

Man - that was like free money.

Okay question - should I sell my Queen Anne for $190 (used, 100% complete with box) now, or should I hang onto it?

 

I know it will probably go up in price a bit more, but what are your predictions on how much more?

 

Did it retire quite recently? (I'm so new to investing, I have no idea!)

Give it another year or two to appreciate. Ships always have a healthy demand and appreciate nicely over time.

New Imperial Flagship for example, has appreciated around 2-3 times it's RRP. If you picked them up when LEGO Shop at Home was clearing them out, more power to you.

I would sell it - You are right about this, but that doesn't mean used sets appreciate like that. Used to New gets to be a bigger gap as sets go up in value. I would get rid of it and buy something new that was about to retire.

So one  yes, and one no. More opinions needed please! lol.

I would hold on for another year at least

On a side topic: so Costco sometimes has Lego? I checked out the toy section today (been watching for them to open it up for the season) and it was infected with multiple Megabloks sets, but no Lego.

 

Just checked Costco.com and no current Lego there.

I remember hearing about Sam's Club getting a bunch of Lego just in time for the holidays but has nothing as for the rest of the year. I have not seen this for myself but I may stop by mine to see if it happens this year.

Other than the ships, I don't think PotC Legos were ever wildly popular.  I don't see Lego bringing back another series.  The only way it would happen is if there was a shortage of other good blockbuster stuff to put out at the time.

Do not sell this year. Wait until Fall /Winter 2014 just before the LOTR ship retires. Sell them and you will fetch between $200 and $250 easily. If sealed ones are going for $350 to $400 by then, you will get even more than $250

They should produce a sailing ship once a year. Idiots like me will lap them all up.

I don't think its going to come back, still kicking myself for not buying all the 50% off Queen Anne's I could have at Target =/

Well it looks like Disney is ending their relationship with Jerry Bruckheimer after this 5th film is done, so I'm guessing this is the last POTC for awhile and there surely won't be another LR. Not sure Lego would want to reboot the sets again knowing they are going to change focus at Disney.

They're still releasing the movie, they're just ditching Bruckheimer after because they have other ways (Marvel, Pixar, etc.) of making much more money. The guy has been a failure for awhile now...

 

POTC has been a big part of Disney since the late 60's, so it's not like the franchise is going to die. I think LEGO releases some sort of theme with the movie in 2016.

 

edit - Oh, and if Jerry wants to make more "mature" movies... how about not making us wait 3 decades for Bad Boys III.
