Bilbo’s Sting Has A Painful Price Tag


Anyone know where I could find, say, a dragon’s hoard of gold? I’m going to need one in order to afford the authentic movie prop of The Hobbit’s sword.

That is one fine looking sword, even if, it doesn’t actually glow blue when orcs are nearby.


What would be glowing would be my wallet, in pain at the price tag; in order to extract Bilbo’s sword from Weta, they’re after US$7,999 for the fine art version of the sword. Anyone got the map to Smaug’s place handy? [Weta via Born Rich]
