Quoted from Black_Knight:

There are plenty of nice ones out there for less money than a NIB, so why bother.
I'm sure JJP also got protection when they bought the Hobbit license so there wouldn't be any other Tolkien machines to compete with.

If they did, that will expire along with the Hobbit license soon.

Quoted from Yelobird:

Ok, just saying what the manufacturer of the game told me not my opinion. Anything is possible I guess...

Vireland wasn't claiming it was you opinion. He was pointing out that Stern misdirects when people ask them about future projects.

Quoted from Black_Knight:

Well Luci's were selling for well over NIB price, and that was the draw. Although we don't have numbers, it didn't feel like the AC/DC vault was a big seller, was it? Star Trek? It barely made a ripple, and I had completely forgot about it. Given their performance, maybe vaults have jumped the Shark.

Vaults are small runs to keep the line going in-between major games. They don't have to make a "big splash" to accomplish their mission.

Stern most likely has a set number of how many they are making for each particular vault.

I've seen a few AC/DC's out there. Star Trek may have been a smaller vault, but I'm sure Stern sold everyone they made to distros.

Vault's aren't going away.

Adjusted totals are a slippery slope....especially the further back you go.

40 years ago, people only had one way to consume movies; going to the theater.

It's been a gradual process of more and more ways to consume a movie; VCR, cable, DVD/Blu-Ray, internet sales, streaming, etc. People consume most movies any way other than going to a theater these days. Revenue is coming from a lot of sources, not just the Box Office gross.

Comparing the Hobbit trilogy to the Lord of the Rings trilogy and adjusting is mostly fair, as they are only about 10 years apart.

But adjusting Gone with the Wind with The Force Awakens is apples to f@cking oranges.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Even on DVD/Streaming, LotR killed Hobbit. By any measure compared to LotR, Hobbit movies flopped.

Re-read what I wrote. I wasn't debating that point.
