Original Weta Balrog....What a deal!!

[Blu Falcon]

I do have the cave troll and it is amazing, however it would be nice to someday own the daddy rog also..

The CT and RWOS would complete me.

So is this a confirmed "Fishy" deal?

Here are some pics.

Thanks!! That's a great looking piece. And I take it from this thread, a rare find. Now, what makes it so rare? Is the edition size pretty low?

It's limited to 1000 pcs, but that's not the main point. The point is, that everybody wants it, and almost nobody wants to sell it...

Well if it is/was a scam the buyer was cluless too....looks like he gave the seller positive feedback on the deal.

It could be a scam where the seller has a second acct make pretned purchases for an item like this and leaves himself feedback to set up a later victim for another "grail" auction.

But who knows.......the old timers remember when I bought a moria orc archer and swordsman for $150 each long ago

Either ways things ain't what they used to be.

You might be on to something. Look at the winning bidder's feedback history. $665 for 4 different grail pieces, and all from the same seller? Very suspect.

Here's your chance... https://cgi.ebay.com/Sideshow-The-Balrog-143-1000-MINT_W0QQitemZ300264571678QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item300264571678&_trkparms=72%3A1418|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Steep. Very steep.

That's extremely suspect. Unless they made a behind-the-scenes deal.
But the seller must know that he could've have tripled the BIN up front on the Wiki and Rog...
