Some good deals on that list.
After shortening my real wants and re-watching some vids on youtube, I really want the one thing not on the list. Smaug Bust. :lol
Bag End and Uruk swordsman are my top wants, some prints possibly.

Balrog deal looks good but I'm just not 100% sold and before I blow that wad of $ and/or Weta$ I'm gonna wait.
At least until I see what Prime 1 is doing.

The Smaug bust will be discounted through that reverse auction. Don't wait on a 1/4 Balrog from P1, it may happen, but that thing would be at least 5K.

How does that reverse auction work?

Not really waiting on a Balrog from P1 (right about the $ being high), more waiting to see what they put out. If it's Sauron first and it's as good their other lines I will have to consider it. Right now for me it's deciding on how to drop the next large chunk of $ on my next ME/LOTR purchase.
 
Every 30 minutes they drop the price a designated amount until all pieces are sold. For the previous Balrog one, they dropped it $50 every 30 minutes.

Is there a counter that tells you how many units are left so you know when to jump in? Or does everyone that "bids" gets the final lowest price?
 
So when you "bid" you are pretty much purchasing at that price..but there is a chance that it will sell for lower if you keep waiting because you don't know how many have sold so far?
 
Correct. There is no counter, and there is no countdown. You just need to refresh the page at each interval and the price will be updated and dropped. Then if it's at a price you want to pay for it, you buy it for that price. If not, you wait to see if it drops again and hopefully there are still some left without the allotted amount selling out. Basically it's a waiting game.
 
I will say I'm also interested in the Art Prints, Barrel Riders and some of the figures and environments. Krampus stuff I'm still tempted but heard they will not continue making the line.
 
Gonna try for Minas Tirith and Smaug bust auctions. With $160 in Weta $'s it might be worth it.

Already got my bust, but I will be looking for a MT as well. Hopefully can snag one under $400. I assume it will be eligible for the 15% off also in case we wait too long, so even $510 is not terrible, but still a bit more than I want to go.

Yah, I'm hoping I get get MT for $400 or less. Smaug bust for under $300 if possible. Any more discount would be great on either but will have to wait and see. The storewide 15% isn't bad and made me consider others like Beorns house, 30% on the Balrog too... lots to consider.

It's a little odd that they are starting the Smaug bust at $389 when it is roughly $339 with the 15% off. Perhaps they are thinking some people will forget about that 15% off discount and grab it before it gets that low during the auction. Unless the $389 in the ad is a typo.
