Should be a little clue to Lego TO MAKE MORE REAL PIRATE STUFF!!!! Seriously,
you put out one Legend, it sells out like wildfire. Three weeks later it is
being scalped on Ebay for twice the price. Other companies can start up and make
knockoffs due to the demand. Lego, your market research is being done for you!
Put out two 900+- peice designer tubs: one imperial, one pirate, Sell for $69.99
each. No new mold needed and you'll grab back a little of your sliding market
share.
