Statue Weta Workshop Smaug the Terrible Statue

[Stampe]

Thanks!
Are the weta Pre Orders limited or is it technically possible to have all 2000 pieces given away before the item gets regularly available in the shop?
I am asking because I live in germany and normally I order from some EU store to avoid long transport. (Hoping for my EU shop to check condition and not resell when a piece had arrived damaged)
So basically I wonder if the Pre Orderers can outorder 'my' store because I also don't know how and when it does fill up its stock.

Weta has a EU warehouse and all the stuff I has bought from them has shipped from the UK.

Exactly. With their reward point system and slightly lower prices its cheaper to order direct. And should there be an issue with your order (not likely, but you never know), Weta will have it sorted out much quicker. Cut out the middle man my fellow EU collector!

Allright then, sounds safe.
Balrog is $600 on PO and it is massive monster of 15kg. Smaug could settle around $600 as well,couldn't it? $700 would be a bit of a bummer but I would get it anyway.
Do you think Smaug will keep its value once it sells out? 2000 ES seems huge but everybody knows Smaug and in addition some ppl have pure dragon collections I bet.

I wouldn't expect him to be any lower than $600. It might and if it is it will be like the $599 deal that Weta did on the Balrog. In regards to it holding its value I don't know. Personally, I don't worry about that a whole lot.

I'm not sure I'd call another 500 units, 'just a little more', given that 500 is the total ES of Azog. As such that's got to have some impact and sure, I'm not actually expecting $499, but I do think much over $599 is going to be pushing it.

I wouldn't call it a lot more either is my point though. I just don't view 500 more pieces as that many more than 1500. It will have some that's why after seeing it initially and then seeing the ES I think $650 is the landing spot.

Yea I noticed. Awesome!

Second awesome! 10 monies for every 100 monies spent? And 15% after buying the Smaug and getting gold collector status? Yes please

The Red Book of Westmarch would feel lonely if I sold Smaug

I think once most of us get Smaug he'll be a keeper.

 

[TURINS~BANE]

Yes keeper definitely.

I saw smaug at a comicon and the detail was very impressive, and it was a very big piece, I will get one for sure.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Has an exact size been mentioned yet?

Yes, should be somewhere in the thread.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Yes, should be somewhere in the thread.

Oi..that's what I get for skimming.. lol

I'm really trying to drum up a reason to drop so much on this bad boy. I had hoped the action figure would be pretty cool, rotocast and all..at least as good as the quality of the Fell Beast but seeing it finally...it did not impress. :/ so I'm left with only this option for a kick ass Smaug statue. pfff.

 

[Stampe]

Try searching this thread for "2000"

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I found it. Largest dimension is almost 2'? That's pretty sweet..though 600.00 is still quiet a bit to drop on it...hmmm.

 

[SnapJimmy]

I don't mind dropping $600 for this statue as long as the production quality equals to the Prototype.
Considering it's size and how intricate it is..

That's never something I worry about with Weta. You'll be fine.
