I highly doubt Stern will announce anything until the new year and maybe even a couple months in, GOTLE has just started shipping and the Pre will likely be announced soon. If SMVE isn't reworked using the comics or something else to stand apart from the original then I think its dumb and won't happen anyway, IMVE was made due to the low production numbers and high demand but theres plenty of SM's out there. JMO I would like to see LOTR's VE with hand drawn art and upgraded sound/lighting etc. time will tell.
