In my opinion, the Vault is more about the music (I agree with most of what patchwork just said).
And I don't think they could "press" thousands of Liquid Filled records or TDs. That would take too much time. + these records are hype because they are limited (even if they are fun).
And finally, for 240$ a year we have 4 LPs, 4 7"s, 4 other things (last year, 4 DVDs) and an online acces to the vault... I don't think we deserve anything else.

Like Icky Thump mono, B shows, Boscobel Blues, Live in Missisipi, Dead Leaves b/w Let's Build A Home, the new Racs 7", 2 Star Tabernacle 7", and so on and so forth.
Leave the fancy collectibles for special releases. The unheard, unknown, rare or otherwise special (as in B-shows & Live in Mississippi) music is what makes the Vault extraordinary. Whether it's on 12", 7", or dvd, those are the items that get me excited.
"And the message is clear: if we want Jack White as our hero, he will entertain, but not pander. We have to accept all his flaws, whims, caprices and manias as a critical, sometimes uncomfortable, part of the contract."

I've only been in the vault since #10, but I don't think there's any package I wouldn't sign up for, even if they weren't worth hundreds on eBay.
I guess I still don't know about the dead leaves with let's build a home.
And there's more unreleased White Stripes material in the vault, including rare material recorded in Australia. "There's some real interesting Down Under stuff coming out soon, really special Australian things in the works," he says. "There's a lot of bizarre stuff in the vault."
Assuming Jack's not referring to the forthcoming New Zealand DVD, this has got me pretty excited. What things? Corduroy direct to vinyl 2000? Creating the Seven Nation Army riff during soundcheck at the Corner?
