Well said, unfortunatly for me I was in a period often referred to as the dark ages and hence had no idea that such a set existed (or any other new lego sets for that matter). So now I am contemplating ways of how to amass close to 2k for a set that I could of quite easily been able to afford when it was available from TLG. I have no issue with TLG not re-releasing it again, I have a few ucs sets that I bought many years ago and I now see these sets on ebay going for twice as much as I paid (and thats for used sets). So I count myself lucky that I made the choice to buy those sets when I did because as you said that's how the cookie crumbles!
