I posted a thread about a large balrog bust on the old board. I really hope they make it as I'm never going to own the original balrog statue.

I Agree. The new one looks cooler. But isn't worth the 300 bucks.

Well I'm resigned to this and it IS good that more people will be able to get this bust which as many here have said is the best Cave troll bust out there.
300 dollars is NOT too much for it as it is MUCH better in detail than the existing bust in my opinion. It isn't just about size and weight.
Steve West's garage kit at RETAIL sold for about 180 or so I think and now you can't get it for anything less than about 250 on Ebay . . . if you can get it at all!
Then a paintmaster to do the bust justice will run you close to 500 dollars.
Grand total: Close to 800 bucks with shipping etc.
Now granted you will have a piece that will be far superior in that the castings from the molds will likely have better detail than the mass produced ones and you will have a much superior paintjob which TAKE ADVANTAGE of those details . . . but you will be paying close to 500 dollars more for it.
So all in all, I think 300 dollars for a polystone and officially sanctioned collectible is more than fair.
For anyone who's thinking about quibbling look at the following sites:

As for the Balrog, I can't imagine that Sideshow wouldn't release it. It's just a matter of when and how much.
