It’s gonna be hilarious when Lego puts Sauron in a $10 micro fighter and they re release the gwp in a few months 😂

[athenovae]

The Fell Beast missed opportunity for Witch King of Angmar 😭😭😭

[lobox]

I love that literally every gwp is a pipe dream for me

[ThomasKnip]

I was at the LEGO Store on Saturday morning, and I thought the people in queue would be there for the Captain Rex microfighter (as I was). And some of them were. But most actually were there for the LotR GWP. They went past all the new sets and headed directly for the cashier where the GWP was handed out. They didn't go to the shelves and pick up the set. Else they would have ended up at the end of the queue, but had store clerks bringing the set to the cashier.

When I left the shop, the queue for the GWP was nearly reaching the street. Absolutely insane.

Funny thing about the height.... if my memory's correct, Barad Dur is 4000 feet tall (over a kilometer) while Orthanc is only... 500 feet. It's tiny in-universe compared to Barad Dur, more like one of those smaller towers jutting up either side of it.

I learned my lesson from missing the Dungeons and dragon set on day one to buy this set at midnight.

[brandonaskew]

it took me 10 minutes of queue time to get into Lego at midnight EST, so I knew I made the right call to get the GWP.

[bavarianwolf]

low supply, scalper and bots buying with 10 different lego accounts and now its 150-200+ Dollars. Even here in EU ebay sold couple with 200 Euros for 269 pieces with a bad printed minifigure ^^ people are insane

[whodidit]

IT's the equivalent of a 30% discount.

[henryliu]

People are the problem. If no one buys them, prices will drop

[m_afol]

Yeah... I'm very happy to got it at midnight. In Europe same shit. Just 9 hours and GWP sold out. Crazy demand. Now "back order" and 26 august delivery 😂

Investors know that if they are quick off the mark and set a price, other investors will follow that price.

Therefore setting the price trend..

I saw an investor sell for £60..which though was high...then a few hours later it tripled in price..!!!!

[Klosskollen]

Wasnt Luke's Lightsaber GWP somewhere around that price? Of course, the AT-AT cost a lot more though but the GWP itself was very collectible if I remember correctly.

[adamscott]

I'm hoping with this much success of LOTR sets, first with Rivendale and now with Barad Dur, maybe Lego will make some smaller play scale sets.

[crispbricks]

Great insights! Had to wait in the online queue but my set and fell beast just shipped so i am super excited! 😊

[PermaVexed]

Sad to see the secret might be out about the LOTR sets. I loved the gains on older sets and it created the ability to launch myself into reselling in a larger scale that it would have been without LOTR.

People are now seeing how nuts us LOTR fans really are :P
Star Wars ain’t got nothing on us!

[waderoberts]

Lego simply has contempt for their Castle and Lord of the Rings fans. The demand is there, but they refuse to meet it.

[TheBrickQuest]

The prices for the Fell Beast are insane!

[Se-dush]

I put the set in the bin, went on with a couple things I had to do and when I got back home the GWP was gone, vanished, sold out.... *poof*... LEGO is so shit these days

[ZerG]

depending on country you have to pay tax on the entire amount of a GWP as it cost $0 if you are an investor need to consider that
