Anyway, I personally like to collect different editions of Strato records. It's interesting.

eBay often means high price. Last few days I saw a Wings Of Tomorrow single CD auction on eBay and its final bidding was $92.19.
But one year ago, I got this single CD on eBay at about $55. Time changes so much.

I don't think Jens or Tolkki have anything to do with the high price of that single, it's most likely due to the fact that it's rare and most stores or sellers want people to pay top dollar for it.
I could actually, now that I think about it, see Run Away fitting well on Elements Pt. 2. It has similar effects to songs like Awaken the Giant (and other songs throughout the album which use similar effects), etc. But I like to pretend Elements Pt. 2 never existed, especially after the masterpiece that was Elements Pt. 1.
Odd, I find Elements Pt. 2 a masterpiece. Dreamweaver, Walk To My Own Song and I'm Still Alive are fantastic. And the solo in Awaken The Giant is amazing.
I can’t really say anything about what people want to call masterpieces but I can say that I know songs from elements 2 have had a positive effect on many people’s lives and to me that is part of what makes a song worth writing.
I agree, I think elements part 2 has many great songs, the only album I thought was lacking was the self titled one but I also find that a great album as well.
in my opinion stratovarius hasn't ever written bad music, just some music that's better then some others.
I also agree that Run away would have worked on elements part 2, however I still have the controversial opinion that it would have also worked on part 1.
In general the artists decide what songs whould be written and where they should be included.
In the days when that song was written we entrusted TT with picking which songs should go where. Most often he picked his own, which is what I would have done as well of course. You tend to like the stuff you wrote yourself best, there is nothing illogical or strange about that.
Bonus tracks are generally to discourage CD imports. In territories like Japan this is important to the record company. CD prices in Japan are much higher than in the rest of the world.
The artists have nothing to do with CD prices or label politics in general.

Yes, the problem is the high price of the Japanese CD. Import CD of the Japanese CD of the one-half or two-thirds the price. It's cheap.
But, I want a bonus track. So I buy the Japanese CD but very higher...
