Oldie but goodie.
Fantastic statue and in my opinion, one of a few pieces that I would never get rid of, regardless of ES.
I remember following the development of this piece, too. Wasn't it something like 2 years in development?

Indeed it was, that's why it's funny when newer members complain about "delays;" they weren't here for the SSW days! :eek

Here's one I took with my old camera a long time ago. Probably should take shots with my new one this summer.
What does this piece go for now? Saw a friend's today and he said it weighs over 50 lbs. It's very nice. I am contemplating getting this one day.

Saw one go on the bay for around £360 the other week. Course prices in the UK are more than the states but still this is a significant leap from the £220's of several months back.

This has turned into my grail piece, but i'm still just waiting it out hoping that I can find one for a decent price one day. Why didn't I buy one when they were going for less than retail

2 years ago I bought a sauron statue off ebay for about 220 bucks including the shipping. You'll find one for a reasonable price. THe trick is find bids that are 2-3 days not a week. Those are where you find good deals.
It's the finest piece in the SS/Weta line, regardless of the high ES. (in my opinion...)

Yeah but it's like someone posted on the board a while ago, if the Balrog and Sauron had switched ed. sizes and exclusivity etc, would everyone be saying Sauron is better than the Balrog?

I own the Balrog and owned the Sauron and I can categorically say that IMO the Balrog is the better statue
For me the ES has nothing to do with the likebility of a statue

Ok, fair enough
I've never seen the balrog in person either, so I'll believe you. But i'm still set on getting Sauron though, as i'm 99% sure i'll never own the balrog, and IMO, sauron is just a bit more iconic.

Sauron will prolly be more easy to pick up 
But the Rog will always be my favourite...Love the ugly brute

The Balrog was my first SS purchase and I've got Sauron too. While ES does matter to me, I'm torn as to which one I like better. They each exude their own special brand of just plain brute evil
