I may end up doing the same. Call me crazy but I'm even entertaining selling my Sideshow LOTR PF collection and going straight Weta.

This might be the most impressive statue Weta has ever produced, and that's saying something. I'm not sure it's the largest statue Weta has ever produced [the Kong vs V-Rex statue is huge and weighs a ton], but it's up there. And a day 1 pre-order for me.

Majestic is the first thought that came to mind upon seeing this. A truly stunning work of art full of awe and magic. Kudos to the fine artists at Weta Workshop for once again blessing us with this visual wonder. I will be enchanted to add this fantastic piece to my collection. Sorry for the rant, but I am totally enchanted by this statue.

That's just crazy talk.......though according to a Weta rep at SDCC this will be priced somewhere in the $750-$850 range based on an ES of 500, so desperate times call for desperate measures.

The fact of the matter is that Weta is where is at for LOTR fans. Sideshow PFs are impressive, but their time has passed so there is no actively collecting for the future.

Sounds like my prediction of $799 may be closer than some people thought.

Based on the pricing of the MoSoS and Grond, $799 was a very reasonable guess. No way was this ever going to be in the 1K range. The majority of the Weta supporters on the Flame of Udun forum appear to be from Europe so most of their income goes to paying taxes.......and there would be rioting in the streets over there if this was in the 1K range.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
