I think that the LLOM line will have an adverse effect on the sales of the LE's. To what extent is hard to say, but after thinking about it for a while, I believe that LLOM's would be in my curio instead of the LE's if they had been available when I started my collection.

Bob hit the nail on the head in his post when he said "They're well done, inexpensive, easy to display because they're small, and no worry about needing lots of room to store boxes and styrofoam inserts".

I also agree with Sue about the sale of LE's being hurt by too many releases each year. I am sure this has an effect on a number of collectors. It did for me as I became overwhelmed trying to get them all and became discourged when it became impossible for me to do that.
