Someone is already trying to profit off of their Smaug model and put it on ebay for $899.00 USD.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMAUG-THE-HOBBIT-BATTLE-OF-FIVE-ARMIES-GAMES-WORKSHOP-FORGE-WORLD-SEALED-NIB-/351257665538?pt=Games_US&hash=item51c896a002

I'd say something, but my guess it is someone on this forum.

Not the first. This one ended a few days ago.

I don't even understand that unless someone rich wants to give it as a Christmas present, fine then. But the model is not even out of production for crying out loud only momentarily sold out.

Remember the saying that avarice is the root of all evil? It means avarice in the broadest possible sense of course, not just wealth but power and all the rest of it.
Which is what a lot of Tolkien's stories were about - the stolen silmarils, the wars for control of Middle-earth and Sauron's ambition to become the ultimate power using the Ring that in the end brought about his own downfall.

I am sure someone will think they are getting a limited edition something or other. I don't look at ebay but I her other people referring to some of the looney prices soe people expect to get for 28mm minis.
