saw them at 1U today, what's the price anyways?i missed looking at the price, but it looks pretty nice

Do they open preorder for Sea Cow and Simpsons House? If yes, how much the retails price?

i think the re-released pirated ship set is Red Beard Runner , 6289 release in year 1996 and the 6290 re-release in year 2001

Nope... you guys all wrong it is this set... 6285: Black Seas Barracuda - Yup I saw this set in BBT Gardens... but that was like at least 3 years ago... not sure anyone would have bought it... hahaha...

I clearly remember it was labelled "Legends" somewhere on the box...

And at that time it has drawn to me... that I should have bought a few more pirate ships... the worst part is when I decided to do that and then come POTC series... and always bad timing... always ran out of spare cash to buy extra Black Pearl or the QAR... if not... I would have make a killing now... hehehe...

cant see any 'legends' at the box for set 6285.. it was release in 1989

it was re-release as set 10040 in 2002 and yes can see the work legend in front of the box

Parisian Restaurant RM950 - 3 units

POTC QAR RM1350 - 4 units

Black Pearl RM1150 - 2 units

Simpson House RM1350 - 1 unit

Lego Star Wars 10195 - RM1,999.90 - 1 unit

PR and SH is confirmed the retailer price?

I could not agree more.    Retired sets are gone, and chasing them will cost AFOLs a bomb... but they will always be some willing buyers who are completist and willing to pay those inflated prices. It comes down to simple economics of demand and supply.

When it comes to Lego re-releasing retired sets, I don't think they have ever done so or ever will (but I stand to be corrected). From a business point of view, they can sell more sets if they release a new and improved version/design, like what happened with some of the Star Wars vehicles and spaceships (X-Wing, Falcon and now Sandcrawler). If they re-released the exact same  7191 UCS X-wing or 10144 Sandcrawler, the thousands who already have them won't be buying the same set again. Yes, there will be many new AFOLs who missed the original release and will want these sets, but at the same time a new design will be more sellable to both old and new AFOLs.

As for non-licensed exclusives like modulars, trains, ships, etc... the same logic applies, Lego is unlikely to release an old design that has already sold thousands. In fact, the possibilities are endless here as they are not bound by an actual movie or product, and there is so much more new creations they can release and sell compared to a re-issued Green Grocer, Emerald Night, Imperial Flagship or Taj Mahal. But we AFOLs who missed out on some of these retiured iconic sets and are not willing to splash the cash for them in the inflated resale market, can still wish... maybe Lego will prove me wrong and make my dreams come true someday.
