    Quoted from Guidotorpedo:

    Price has gone up over 2k at this point since lotr

    What are you talking about? Not remotely close.

    Quoted from Guidotorpedo:

    I was paying 3250-3450 for lotr.

    And if manufactured today, LOTR would sell as a Premium, if not creating a new class of Super Premium pins, that would list for at least 8-9K.

    Quoted from NPO:

    The Premium was "the old base model". Then Stern gave us the Pro for the same price as their base model was with fewer toys and in some cases different rule sets and strategies, renamed the old base model as "the Premium", started charging us more for it, and this community fell completely for it.

    Yep, I always thought the Pro should have been called the Gelding.
