These prices are ridiculously high--the one most shocking was $300 for Corsair Bosun and Captain!
Ya, I wasn't kidding about “dodgy”
I really lucked out on Erkenbrand cause they listed him at such a low price compared to the finecast one. I saved money
and got the metal version!
I think (at least I’m hoping) the above example is a typo mistake (30 instead of 300).
Despite the ridiculous prices, there are some goodies sprinkled among them.
Gandalf the Grey mounted for 65, scouring of the shire box set for 53.75 and the Defenders of Rohan box set for 140 (which usually goes for like 200+ on eBay) are decent grabs IMO at least.
… and hey, never hurts to try and negotiate. I think they’d be
more than happy to have people interested in the GW LOTR range!

I understand that OOP items are "more valuable" but some of those prices are ridiculous. At first I was excited about some of the older sets but 2x or 3x the original prices are beyond fair.
I hear ya, but let’s not forget some of these box sets are practically
impossible to find nowadays. I do believe they exceed the simple “rare” title. Think abut the OOP minis in them as well! (metal Knights of Dol Amroth foot/mounted, rare captains…)
