It's kind of hard for companies to judge the demand for a product until they
actually toss some of it out there. I think all of the old Castles and
Pirates minifig stuff (parts and complete minifigs) would do well. Watch
the line form for full red and blue-coated shako-shaking soldiers, for example.
In part, the infrastructure for the hard-core to find this information out
has grown. As has the market for it. When I started serious collecting
with the last of the Pirates, there were a number of individual sales and
auctions on rec.toys.lego, but nothing like the continuous and massive
amounts of Lego that can be found on eBay and Brickbay. The pent-up demand
has grown, and perhaps this illustrates how much it has grown beyond a few
fanatics.
We'll see where this goes. I don't really expect Lego to do something that
doesn't turn 'em a profit (nor am I asking them to). Win-win situations are
the best.
