Quoted from Brickshot:I'm wondering if anyone with inside information on Stern knows whether or not they plan to continue offering 'Vault Editions' on occasion? I have heard that the latest SM VE may not have been as big of a hit as they were hoping and possibly not worth all the work put into it? So I'm really wondering if they have any thought of scrapping the notion of VE's and just focusing on new games? Anyone hear anything? I have been looking to get an LOTR but with prices now creeping up around 7k (?) I am not sure if there is risk there that a brand new VE will get announced in the near future in the 6k range.
Don't spend 7k on a LOTR (unless you want to buy mine lol ). As heatman said, they should be found for +/- 5k.
In general don't hold your breath waiting on VEs. If you see a deal on a nice one now jump on it.
