We've got reprints of 1e and there are reprints of 3.5e coming out in a couple of weeks. Why did they skip 2e? I would pay a hefty sum of money to get a reprint of the core 2e books. My copies have been used so much they're held together with nothing more than hope and willpower.
Give us 2e reprints! I will give you my money!
Want to know more about the history of D&D, especially how to play older editions of the game? Check out Crazy Monkey's "Tour through the editions":

The current edition is BECMI, the most popular form of Basic D&D and the adventure is the classic Red Box quest to kill Bargle the evil magic user. Check it out, learn about the games roots, and enjoy the story as it unfolds.

As would I! Did you see there was a topic about this like two posts down?
I also have a wallet too heavy with coin.

I have asked WotC folks at Gen Con about this, and the most frequent response was "I would love it, but it's not in the works." BOO. I sent messages to a few about this subject that were ignored.
Give us the 2E reprint! I have money I want to give you for this!
I prefer 2nd Edition AD&D. But I have played basic, 1E, 2E, 3.5, & 4E, and found all to be fun.
IF IT'S D&D, I'LL PLAY IT, NO MATTER THE EDITION.
Just roll some dice.

Me too! I prefer it to 3rd, tbh. Maybe if enough people reply, they'll consider it worthwhile...  Actually, what I think would be cool is a remake of 2nd edition, with the same basic mechanic, but some refinements: the new classes - barbarian, sorcerer, monk etc integrated into it (suitably balanced in line with the existing 2ed classes - so that the monk isn't insanely overpowered), the weapons/armour list trimmed down a little (and made a bit more believable/historically accurate), and with some of 3rd edition's feats available to spend proficiency points on in lieu of extra weapon slots (weapon finesse, expertise, power attack, some metamagic feats etc). I would pay such good money for something like that!
Everything expressed in this post is my opinion, and should be taken as such. I can not declare myself to be the supreme authority on all matters...even though I am right!

I would buy 2e reprints. Especially if the format was cleaned up a bit, and there was some setting material from things like Dark Sun, Ravenloft, and Spelljammer at the back. The settings were the best thing about 2e.

Had a chat with my FLGS owner today. The 2E core rules are very rare around here, and people still ask for them. I haven't seen any there in over a decade, in fact.
WOTC, they WILL SELL!
I am planning on eventually getting the 1E & 3.5 reprints, but I would gladly snap up 2E special edition reprints if they are made before these two.
