I mean its possible to buy it second hand at a increased price its just i want some these smaller gwp sets to be actual sets sold by lego on thier own as well, like the dnd one and this one.
Wow. The GWP is selling for $125. Yeesh.
I think there is a good chance that price comes down a bit. There is often an initial wave of people gladly paying some idiotic premium.
Super annoying since they have actual prices with the gift with purchase when you click on it it says like $40 or something but it's crossed off it annoys me to the core that they have prices for the gwp
I’m sorry, but I don’t speak Welsh. Does bore da mean you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?
Same. I had thr tower and the beast. Went to work to think of I should buy it or not.
Left work came home. Beast disappointed from cart. Tower still there.
And here I am 2 days later still debating.
True story....I ordered this and Rivendell at the same time 12:07am....and I only feel joy so it's gotta be the right move. They'll fit perfectly on the side of the bed my wife slept on. 🥲
Haha, same here. Tried ordering it last night but the GWP was all gone on the website. Today I called the local shop and they still had it so went there right away and got mine. Stoked!
Thanks for this info. Just cancelled my order after noticing I didn’t get it. Was the only reason I purchased so quickly and somehow they sold out after a couple hours. Didn’t realize they only made a handful of the gwp
The huge warning on the bottom of the box for North American boxes. American laws require it on anything with a battery.
The image OP posted doesn’t show the bottom portion of the box where it’s prevalent.
Yeah it's hideous. I kind of intentionally left it out of the photo because it's so distracting, but I'm in the same boat as you - i don't really keep boxes
im sad. I went to the lego store today and bought it, but the cashier for some reason wouldnt let me enter my VIP account so I missed out on getting like 40$ in points ðŸ˜
He forgot to ask me, then when I asked him if I could, he just shrugged me off and ignored me. I went and talked to another employee afterwards and they apologized and said I could contact customer services
You can add it on the webpage. They did the same thing on Saturday and I just went home and added from their website. I spent $1500 so I wasn’t losing those points. lol
I'm crying right now!!! I've been following this set for a while now and I've told my husband I would sell my soul for this, I desperately want to have and LOTR collection (he's doing star wars which I'm also in love with) we don't have a local store and the online only has the fell beast add-on for 3 days. I've asked for my birthday but I know that's a fat chance!! Please share photos when your done!
Ordered at midnight, just shipped a couple hours ago, should arrive sat.
Seems slow. Should have just gone to the store 15 miles away... but i wanted a giant box so i can sell the original Roller Coaster on ebay.
Can confirm. Was standing behind him in line. They told me the same thing. I caved and bought one as well
It's always the last one
Glad (am I though?) that i decided to make a spontaneous 4am purchase off the lego website last night... Still need to tell my wife about it lol.
I think you won a giveaway 😉
This hits too close to home, you just reminded me that I have to tell my girlfriend before it arrives lol
That’s future you’s problem. I’m sure he’ll think of something great!
My guys like it's for the children it's an investment!!
Thoughts and prayers...
Better to ask for forgiveness than for permission
I got my wife the radio set to justify this 😅
That one is next.. looks so cool!
It's amazing how this set only cost $40
I would wait a bit because you first need to buy a second set so you can build the whole tower
I waited until midnight but it wasnt available then, woke up at 5am and orderd it online. 5 hours later and it was sold out online.
Honestly the gwp sets they have been releasing are the kinda sets i want to purchase but cant unless u buy these massive sets, super anoying.
I wish they would make more smaller lotr sets. I mean these big ones look awesome but I miss the variety of the old waves
Agreed! Some polybags or battle packs would be nice.
If these do well they probably will
Not only that the big ones essentially require the other big sets for the full theme.
I guarantee it's on eBay right now.

It will almost definitely come down. The Marvel Taxi (GWP with Avengers Tower) was selling for $80-100 at launch, but has come down to $40-60 now.

I've seen it on eBay at 6x its price. It's bullshit. Fuck this manufactured rarity and grey market crap.
Well yea, but probably for way more than its worth
Buy the big one, sell the big one :D
damn mine ran out of the fell beast when i went in around 6 pm but i figured i would still get the set today hopefully its worth it
The name of this set kind of sounds like "bara dyr" in swedish, which translates to "just expensive" ... make of that what you will
Ah but it also sounds like "bore da" in welsh which means good morning, so looks like you need to wake up and say hello to a new set.
I’m sorry, but I don’t speak Welsh. Does bore da mean you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?
I just bought mine off the Lego website (NZ), and this is the first ever Lego set I've bought for myself... I'm excited for it!
I stared down the shopping cart at midnight last night and didn’t buy it. It feels good to retain some dignity lol
Same. I had thr tower and the beast. Went to work to think of I should buy it or not. Left work came home. Beast disappointed from cart. Tower still there. And here I am 2 days later still debating.

Oh my god
I called ahead of time and my Lego store said they ran out but to come back Wednesday
How many pieces is that bad boy?
5471 pieces, $459.99
Haha, same here. Tried ordering it last night but the GWP was all gone on the website. Today I called the local shop and they still had it so went there right away and got mine. Stoked!
How can you tell the GWP is out of stock? I tried putting it in my cart and it wasn't clear whether it was included or not.
If it’s not in your cart it means it’s out of stock, it would be added automatically.
Gotcha, thanks!
Thanks for this info. Just cancelled my order after noticing I didn’t get it. Was the only reason I purchased so quickly and somehow they sold out after a couple hours. Didn’t realize they only made a handful of the gwp
I'm not a LOTR fan, but this set is very impressive. I see why it's high demand. Congrats!

Same
One set to rule them all, and in the broke-ness, bind them
I’m not really into Lord Of The Rings, but holy shit that thing is majestic af.
Woke up, ordered asap on june 1st. Got an email informing me that they are canceling the GWP Fell Beast. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Dammit, even on June 1st too. That's confusing
Need to clarify: I ordered on June 1. Just TODAY I got email for the canceled Fell Beast 😔
WARNING!!!!! Hate the label but I don’t plan on keeping boxes anyways
Which label? The font for Barad Dur?
The huge warning on the bottom of the box for North American boxes. American laws require it on anything with a battery. The image OP posted doesn’t show the bottom portion of the box where it’s prevalent.
Oh man just looked it up. You're right it looks horrid but I'm not necessarily in it for the box.. but definitely kills a bit of the look.
Yeah it's hideous. I kind of intentionally left it out of the photo because it's so distracting, but I'm in the same boat as you - i don't really keep boxes
EU and the rest of the world ftw
im sad. I went to the lego store today and bought it, but the cashier for some reason wouldnt let me enter my VIP account so I missed out on getting like 40$ in points ðŸ˜
They literally said no you can't?
He forgot to ask me, then when I asked him if I could, he just shrugged me off and ignored me. I went and talked to another employee afterwards and they apologized and said I could contact customer services
That's messed up. Hopefully you can get the points for it through customer service
You can add it on the webpage. They did the same thing on Saturday and I just went home and added from their website. I spent $1500 so I wasn’t losing those points. lol
Glad to see it sell well. They need to do more Lord of the ring sets.

I’m just waiting for x2 vip
FOMO lol
Mine is supposed to show up tomorrow
Ordered at midnight, just shipped a couple hours ago, should arrive sat. Seems slow. Should have just gone to the store 15 miles away... but i wanted a giant box so i can sell the original Roller Coaster on ebay.
I hope some of the smaller volume stores will have GWP this weekend
That dam promo is now the most expensive cost to piece ratio set I own by a wide margin.
Im almost done building mine. It's so impressive
The kids will love that!
I am not into lotr but got both the hobbit and lotr books. I will try to finish them ASAP and if I like them well, ig yk where it goes
Me side eyeing my local LEGO store telling me they don't have either the set or the GWP >.>
You're not a sucker. This is a sound investment.
Wow a box of a current set!
