I would love to see LOTR vaulted and I would buy, as well. With the new Amazon series coming out and being filmed as we speak, the rerelease of the LOTR and Hobbit Trilogy on 4K and the 6 movie combo 4k coming out this summer, could boost interest of the movies and other properties. I agree the there are many LOTR to buy on the market, but so is the Ironman pin. That has not only been vaulted, but re-vaulted and NOBODY asked for a re-vault. Marvel/Disney license is expensive, so I think the Tolkien estate would be possible, too! Nothing is impossible but who knows. Just my 2 cents (converted to Canadian currency, 1 cent)
