Expect Treebeard to go up the week after Black Friday as Weta won’t want to stifle purchases during their biggest sales event of the year.

If what they said in the past that Master collection pieces never get discounted that probably won't matter. I hope that isn't the case and they do discount them eventually, hoping to pick up both.

I don’t know about anything in this line being discounted but if I had to guess, knowing Weta, if there is inventory remaining after a year it’ll get incorporated into some kind of sale at some point. Time will tell.

As for when Treebeard goes up? Mark my words, it’ll be after Black Friday, as that precedent was set with Gollum last year. Just like Treebeard he was revealed during the SDCC. The price was kept under wraps until he went up for pre-oreder exactly one week after Black Friday on November 30th. It’s a smart move on Weta’s part as collectors dump a ton of cash on the BF sale. Interest is high on this piece and if they reveal it before that sale many will forgo it altogether to save for this. They don’t want that to happen.

It wouldn't surprise me if Treebeard takes a bit longer. The sample shown at comic con was just finished in time, and I could see it causing some headaches to put in production. Just like Grond took more than a year to go up for pre-order after shown, if I remember correctly?
