NO retailer is going set aside the raw shelf space for such a monster of playset (keep in mind that the set will have to be mostly assembled, people don't like to build their toys anymore), nor is any parent likely to spend more than a $150 on a toy (and I'll bet that a Flagg would be a hell of lot more than a $150, even assuming they still have all the parts, if anything has to be retooled, that'll drive teh price even higher). Hell, anymore a $100 is a REALLY hard sell for a toy.
The 83 Joe HQ and the Terrordrome I can see, but the complex or giant sets like the Flagg and Defiant are NOT going to happen, unless the movie creates a demand for Joes near that of Transformers this year.
I CAN see a "revisioned Flagg", perhaps a "Stealth Carrier" concept that could fit around the $75 range, but that'd need the new movie to push anything like that.
