Wouldn't be much of a cash-grab if nobody bought it, would it?

  No but I don't think literally all products are "cash grabs". To me that implies a lack of care for the source material or anything besides money. As I asked the other commenter, do you also think that the Lord of the Rings was a cash grab riding off of the success of the Hobbit?

    I don't get the comparison. This effort (by others' comments: a rearranging and editing of existing materials, with new illustrations?) with LOTR (a wholly original, although related, trilogy) gives me false from the areEqual() call. There's a market. Fans will buy. Money is good. Some would say the repackaging is worth it. From an originality-perspective, others wouldn't -- still, more, considering its "timely" release. If you are in that second camp, this is the very definition of a cash-grab.
