I agree! It's really not much of a Limited Edition if there's another run,
simply without the numbered tiles and certificate. The certificate didn't
even have the numbers printed on it, so what's it worth in the long run
really? Obviously, considering the prices that are already being paid for it
on the secondary market a lot of people disagree with me :)
I bought one for myself, mainly because I wasn't sure that there would be
another run at all, and it is a great model. I've been umming and ahhing
about buying another, and now that I know that it is being continued I can
happily wait until I've got some spare cash for it. What the limited
edition run did do was make people like me, who otherwise would have waited
a bit, rush out and grab one. I'm not sure what this achieves for Lego in
the long run, maybe they're in league with the credit card people :)
