Legend
I like Adventurer's Vault, but I have to add my voice to the many that have lamented the relative lack of mundane weapons and equipment. The cynic in me would say that this was deliberate in order to sell another book (perhaps Arms & Equipment Guide 4E?)
No. Adventurer's Vault II. If I am not totally mistaken, it's already announced and everything.

I don't know if it's cynical. It's good business, and there are still tons of items to be had - you can't pull them all in one book (not without inflating the price, too).
I sometimes feel the designers have tons of ideas and nowhere the space in their books to put it all into it. I suppose that's one part the "heritage" of decades of D&D lore, equipment, classes, races or settings, but it's also seems as if there is still a lot of design space to be explored...
