>>7238139I would argue this unfindable chase asshole that exists with the mister gold I'll never get was them testing the market waters for the consumer appetite for the classic nostalgia figs.
Granted, unlike the pirates, his printing isn't updated, and the fact he had a new printed piece and was a chase figure might spoil Lego's understanding of whether or not people wanted him or they wanted to sell him, so.
I'm not banking on it either, but what I'm saying is, if the Legacy Ninjago sets are a hit, I don't see why they wouldn't considering doing a mix-and-match wave of iconic lego figures, either in nostalgia-bait updated sets, or just as CMFs.
