What made you think it would be that much?

Spec might be the way to go on this for that reason, though they are $50 higher for deposit orders. Even Gold collectors won't get enough back to make up for the cost difference if Weta ends up charging ~$400. I can't imagine it being that much though, my Thranduil came LTL freight on a pallet in 2 huge boxes and it was $350. This shouldn't take near the volume of that piece, but costs have gone up during the past months.

But 43” high, yikes! Great piece but can’t see how it would work for me.
My gosh, that will tower above some 1:3, much less 1:6 pieces.

BBTS has it up for 1399, 280 deposit, and 4 dollar shipping... I think that's the route I'll go.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Ordered without second thoughts. This statue is too outrageously over the top to pass. Love it.

I was hoping for a Saruman to pair with Gandalf, but I don't think this is going to work for me.

I ordered with Spec yesterday. I see they upped the price and deposit amount today however, but still probably cheapest place to get it.

Spec shipping is free, price/deposit is now the same. You also get rewards at Spec.
