Ordered this guy a week and a half ago and he still hasn't shipped.
Emailed Weta and they said they missed my order somehow.
Paid $102 for shipping. Can't believe he hasn't been sent out yet.
I hope I get him in one piece. It's -22C here and getting colder. Things tend to break in transit when it's this cold.

$102 for shipping og -22C ................... where do you live? The north or southpole?

Agree this is am amazing bust - a splurge since I own Daddy Smaug too - and the details on both are insane. IMO great paint. To me the base seems pretty heavy, if wall mounting I'd really want to find a stud. But I'm not trying that for now.

Yes the base i very heavy and in this position i like it more as on the wall.

I asked for this guy for xmas

Yes, the base is much heavier than it looks, which does pose an issue for wall mounting which is what I want to do too.

Seems this is now sold out from US and NZ, only some left in the EU. I think I may end up selling mine. It does not really go with any of my other pieces.

Yah, I contacted Weta and got an e-mail from Anthony saying there's no decision as yet to produce anymore but there's still a fair amount of interest. So who knows if they'll decide to do another run.

I doubt it, I can't imagine I am the only one who went through a few to get a good one, so that probably ate into profits.

Count me in the masses on that one - I had to go through a 2 month exchange process to replace just one bad bust, much less multiples.

This bust is now on-sale at the WETA shop for $280 (figuring in the $20 Weta dollars you will earn back). A steal at this price! The catch: It's only available to ship through the EU distributor.

 

[67L88Stingray]

Ouch, shipping shows $120 for me.

tkx a lot MrPickles! I just got the statue!! This amazing bust I already had.

It says for me that it ships from NZ? How to change to EU warehouse?

It is sold out in NZ, must be a glitch in displaying NZ instead of EU.

Funny thing, yesterday evening it said shipping from EU but I didn't finish order and when I went back to it today, it offered only NZ for shipping (about 6 times more expensive for me as EU resident). Now I can't get it to ship from EU again [emoji35]
