This is a very nice collection. I have ordered too the Imperial Flagship. I have many ships as you do but not the same. When I will build them, I will take a big picture like that. Do you keep them assembled for long time display? Or just for the photo? I was wondering how to display Lego for a long period and minimize the dust on them... Very very nice pictures!

When I see NISB set 6276 Eldorado Fortress listed at 66$ US in 1989 by Peeron and sold 511$ US in 2010(see link ) ... it is a good question ! I guess the value of a set in future is dependent (as money collectible) on the number produced. I suppose that this is not known to the public. But I would never sell a Lego (Pirate) for which I dont have two sets! I collect them for pleasure...I am just curious about the question!

Barracuda with buried treasure!

Hello. I am new to the forum. I am a Lego collector of Pirate and Castle sets. Recently, I bought many items to make my collection bigger. Here are some questions I have: 1- Is it possible to display Lego for a long period of time in a manner that they don't get dusty? By using an air spray each week? By putting them in transparent container? Or one should really keep them in box for storage and build them everytimes? Would the color of Lego be affected by sun? What is your method? 2-The price of old Lego pirate vintage (exemple: Skull Eye Schooner) increased a lot (ex: bricklink) from their release. Do you expect that they increase in value even more in the future? What in about 20 yr? 3-Do they produce more sets of each recent Lego set than in the year 1989 so that they will be less rare in the future? Is there more collectors than in the years 1990s? Ex: will the new NISB Imperial flagship worth a lot or there are too much collector... so even in 10 yr, it wont be rare? What is your opinion? Thank you

Just to correct some people....it is missing 3 ships: Cross Bone Clipper Red Beard Runner Armada Flagship
