I'm in for Bilbo at desk for $350. I have Gandalf and a Ringwraith from Weta's Classic line and really like them. The whole scene for $1,300 is outrageous and too space consuming.

The funny thing is, I think it’s too small to justify the price! I was in up to about $800. I don’t see a $1300 piece.

bad taste trying to gauge the true fans.

It does seem like a bit of a gouge, though if I was going to get it I would go for the whole thing, it really adds to it. They will still probably sell a ton of them.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Wow for that price you can ask for one of those professional hyper realistic Dioramas much better than that, bigger too, totally overpriced, tell you more, I don't liked, something on Weta pieces always looks a little weird to me.

Oooh I think you just edited 'amateur' to 'weird', and I was gonna give you a nagging because they are oscar winning film makers and certainly not amateurs 
Yes, it's two or three hundred more than I was expecting, but if it's classed as a premium piece like the cave troll, I guess that's the price we're looking at for these kind of 'event' pieces. Of course they will still sell a lot of these, and I expect it to only increase in after market value.
This was one of my most wanted statues, so I may have to sell something to justify buying it.

Are Weta pieces done in-house or also mass-produced in China?

Interesting. I thought they were all done in house... Maybe it's just the box that was made in China? lol

I really like this piece, but when I saw that price it completely deflated my interest. Not to mention, I've seen some pretty mediocre paint jobs on some of their pieces.
