Quoted from cantbfrank:Good points and love the quote. But Stern needs to be careful. They could spend a lot of money on a LOTRve and not have it sell because the market is already saturated with LoTRs. I think the ve concept is real interesting, but there are only a handful of pins where this will work.
Quoted from blue95:Two of those used machines are above retail price of a new Stern and the other two not much below, that would make it a pretty good prospect of becoming a future VE
What makes you think a TSPP or LOTR VE would be sold at pro pricing? If either of those were made today by Stern they would be premium pins for sure. If MMr is any indication, just because it's a remake doesn't ensure it's cheaper the second (third?) time around.
