Definitely. Ordered! A pleasant surprise for sure.

On the indeterminate shipping issue...WETA are hardly alone in not providing firm totals in advance on shipping these days. Given all the uncertainty surrounding COVID and the pricing power delivery companies now have with so many people ordering in, I'm afraid this will be a feature for some time to come.

I just hope they can keep this Troll packaged up in one box - both to keep costs down and to save on storage space...

If they charged a NRD on these we could gripe about the unknown ship price, but that is a non issue without a NRD. Weta is usually quite high on shipping anyway so just be prepared.

2 smaller boxes are usually cheaper than one massive box and easier to transport/store as well.

I'm in Europe and Weta has a EU warehouse. On all my orders I've paid no more than 30€ shipping - including Treebeard and Gandalf & Frodo.

Well you're wrong on both counts - Weta do charge an NRD and they've confirmed this will come in one box.
Postage to me in the EU has always been cheap - Treebeard only cost me £20... but I'm not sure if that will change next year when we've left the EU. My damn compatriots - did they not take into account my statue buying future??

I really hope shipping costs will be closed to that amount! Any idea about Thranduil shipping costs?

Actually I am not, YOU are. Weta is not charging a NRD on this (or Thrandruil) due to the uncertainty of the shipping just like I stated. I also never said it was coming in 2 boxes, just that 2 is usually better.

I was charged a 15% NRD of $179.85 when I ordered through Weta's site.

Edit: For anyone in the US that missed out, Entertainment Earth has it up for pre-order, no NRD, and free shipping.
