2013 LEGO Pirates rumors and discussion.
Louie le Brickvalier replied to just2good's topic in LEGO Pirates
To me, teasers mean nothing. First of all, TLG is a company and its main priorites are sales, revenue, SWOT, etc, etc. If you look at the annual reports that are ever so conveniently provided on the LEGO website you will find that recent years with pirate themes have not performed as well as years without pirate themes in terms of net profit. Now that doesn't mean pirate themes were not a money maker because as we all know correlation is not causation. If you will, generally speaking the LotR/Hobbit theme replaced PotC as a main license for TLG. 2012 (LotR) brought an approximately 25% increase in net profit from 2011 (PotC). Again, I am not saying this correlation is causation; but it is quite interesting to see. As for a new Pirate theme (non-PotC), 2014 would be the year that it would happen if there is going to be another license agreement with LEGO and PotC 5. However, it is fairly certain that if we were to have another Pirate theme for 2014 we were know a little more at this point. Our only hope seems to be that it would be released in the summer or perhaps in the winter of 2014. I draw my conclusion on the unlikely chance of TLG releasing a Pirate theme a year before releasing another wave of PotC products. TLG could be in need of another license when the Hobbit runs out, so that might bring hope for PotC fans. If there is not going to be another PotC wave, 2015 could be a good year for a Pirate theme. No one knows. To conclude, I apologize for mixing PotC and Pirates in this post, but they go hand and hand with LEGO. Most of my statistics and info came from TLG annual reports that can be found here. They are really interesting to look through and I would suggest them to anyone with a fondness for numbers. -
How much would the Obsidian Spike be worth? Your thoughts.
