How Much Would You Pay For Daddy Balrog?

If you wanted one that is.

I wouldn't choose now as the time to buy, but I do eventually think I would like to get one.

My goal is to find one for around $1,200 - $1,500. Having seen it up close on a number of occasions I came to the following: the sculpt is amazing, the size is actually smaller than most are expecting; and the Baby Rog does a good job of holding its place.

I would get the Witch King, Stone Trolls and Cave Troll (in that order) before the Daddy Rog! Having said that, I probably wouldn't get him unless he fell to around $1000 or lower, or unless I just suddenly had a lot of money and nothing to do with it!

Check, check, and check!

Oh I love the Daddy Rog... I just love the Witch King, Stone Trolls and Cave Troll more!!! And besides... that whip scares the daylights out of me!!! I don't know what I would do if I owned a Daddy Rog and broke his whip...

What's the average sale price for one of these now a days and what was the original sideshow price?

 

[KAOSINLA]

I'd buy one for $1000 or a little bit higher.

I much rather have the treebeard bust than daddy Rog or even the Cavetroll. Even then, I wouldn't pay that much for daddy Rog; he's just too small!

 

[gabberjawa]

I would pay at least $5

Honestly...I would pay 600 and no more. Great statue the going price is insane IMO ...insane for alot of these pieces (statues in general not just ss/weta)

I really like my Balrog, but I don't think I would pay more than $500-$600 if I had to re-aquire one. It should have been larger than the cave troll [which, IMO is a more impressive piece]but being smaller, it loses a bit of it's impact.....especially as I have them displayed right beside each other. For sheer emotionally impact it just can't touch the RWoS, I still get the creeps when I look at this baby!
If you think today's prices are insane [and they are] you should have seen them two years ago when they were downright obscene!

 

[Deadly Dagger]

...oh ya I was there two yrs ago...got the wiki statue on the waitlist for retail

 

[Seretur]

I can't help it. For me, the Daddy Balrog will always be the Daddy of All Grails.

And nothing else will ever come close...

 

[Customikey]

I'm satisfied with my NECA. Biggest friggin Balrog EVER.

I luvs my Daddy Rog Artist Proof but I wouldn't pay $4000 for it as someone once did...

And yes, I sweat bullets whenever I have to go near him, for dusting. The thought of putting him back in the box when I move out of my apartment one day... That whip! When my sister came over to visit and saw it for the first time, she started poking at the whip and I FREAKED!! (that is, I raised my voice at her not to touch it, she looks at me coolly and touches it and I threaten her that she has to buy me a new one if she breaks it, full well knowing she doesn't have the money :emperor )

Can't remember seeing a AP Rog on eBay over the last 1.5 years...

If secondary market value didn't exist, my fave would prob be Ringwraith on Steed and the Witch King statue, then the Balrog of Moria.
