LOTR if it is not majorly neutered and 5k then yes yes yes yes yes.

but IF it did happen, HIGHLY unlikely it will be 5k. 6.5 at least.
I might buy it if it were 6k, but thats really really really stretching it.

hobbit is not in my pricing universe so as far as im concerned it doesnt exist.

while the bill of materials may be higher, they have less development costs to recoup assuming they dont port it to sam. (and maybe less licensing costs since the movies arent hot anymore?)

but the above comment is true, if they make it, they will price it what the market will pay for it (at their volume target) and not a penny less.
assuming that price has enough profit margin, then they move forward and build it, if not, then there are just more VE threads on pinside pining for it.

Agreed, if its 6500 or even 6000 there is no way I will buy one.

I would spring 5500 IF there is nothing watered down and some small upgrades like better audio and higher res art (and maybe LEDs if done right)
