Well the wording was dodgy at the time. It was announced as a "limited edition of 1000" (or what ever it was) I don't recall Lucas saying there was going to be a second pressing before hand. But perhaps I missed that statement. Anyway I do agree with you, its a set that should stay in print.

There will be a first pressing of 3,000 box sets. We have not decided upon any "limited" status; it will be a case of supply and demand. It costs a small fortune to manufacture, so if the first 3,000 were to sell out, we may do more copies in the same configuration, an altered "second edition" -- or nothing at all. It will all depend! If too many people tell us, "Ah, I'll get it later, it's not limited" you can bet we'll elect to stop at the 3,000 -- or throw half the run in the dumpster to get our money back on the first half.

Very soon it will be gone. Perhaps- for all time...

Still not sure why it's "infamous".
Some of us are *dying* to know...
Why is it infamous? Wow. Wowie-wow wow. Anyone care to embellish this, by all means, feel free,
Once upon a time, a certain board member opened up his big bazoo about this project months in advance of it's release, To LK's mortal chagrin....

Ridiculous. I recognize at least one of those sellers as posters here at FSM. I suspect the other two are as well.

If the Blue Box can sell 6000 units altogether, does this mean the LLL STAR TREK TOS box could eventually go through its 6000 and be gone as well?
I'm a happy owner of both sets. I did not expect Blue-2 to ever sell out, and here we are. I wasn't expecting TOS to ever sell out either and now I wonder. Thoughts? 6000 is supposed to be a huge run by today's standards.
