      I did. I was able to order on the Lego site, and it should arrive tomorrow.
      I was on the site at exactly 9:00pm (local time) on day 1.
      Had to wait in queue for about two minutes, but by 9:05 my order was submitted.

    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.

      But there are some minifigs worth $1000 or more just because they are rare not because they are amazing. If something has decent starting value (and this does being an exclusive animal and LOTR) and is at least somewhat rare. Would love to know how many of them are out there but can’t be too many NSIB since they were behind a pay wall and they all sold in 12hrs. And many people opened theirs. I’m still thinking this set has a chance to reach $400+ after a few years.

    Mimic dice box GWP for D&D Red Dragon's Tale did something similar. In fact, the FOMO around that set being fresh on people's minds has created a perfect storm for the Fellbeast GWP. I think this will retrace, and settle closer to around $100 in 3-4 months. Mimic dice box was selling for $140 and it had less pieces and no minifigure. It is now selling for below $100.

    You say that the LEGO group did not anticipate demand and that demand is driving the GWP price but you do not mention how many GWPs were produced or (and this is something I would really like to know …) what price the GWP was initially offered for by resellers.

      @BrickBucks  7 місяців тому

      I don't know how many of them were produced, so I can't say it :). And by mentioning that LEGO Group didn't anticipate the demand, what I'm really saying there is that the supply was low (they didn't make enough of them, because they underestimated the demand)

      Still selling at around $160 average on eBay. No insensitive for sellers to let it go at $100 when the supply is so very low keeping the demand high.
      Also, if it were to go to $100 and people dump their holds those buying would likely not buy to hold but to build. Making the NSIB even more rare in the long term.
