LOTR LE for $4K is nuts.. hard to believe you had a hard time moving that. It's such an amazing game and having the LE would be icing on the cake for me!!
One of the guys locally bought one and added all the figures, a shaker, subwoofer, and LED's, and it's just sweet as hell. I've been bugging him to sell but no dice.
Congrats on your pickup! LOTR is one of the best Stern titles, period, and to have the mac daddy of that title is awesome.
