I think the biggest reason most of us, including myself, would like a new mold is to make Anduril stand out/on its own as it did in the movies as Aragorn's signature weapon.
Manufacturing- and physically-wise I totally agree with you.
For me it would be Anakin's Jedi Interceptor or, like everyone else, the Skiff. I'd say the Interceptor was best for overall set design and minifigures, but the Skiff was just a little below and had a better price value.
While we're on this topic does anyone plan to be there/taking pictures? We'll probably be able to find them on Google nonetheless but I'm just wondering..
