The Hobbit - Official Weta Workshop The Desolation of Smaug Bust

PRE-ORDER ITEM: ETA September 2026

Why Pre-Order?

High-end, limited edition statues and collectibles don’t sit around waiting to be adopted. They’re produced in fixed numbers, allocated in advance, and once they’re gone… they’re gone.

Pre-ordering guarantees you actually secure one from the production run. No refreshing pages. No aftermarket price hikes. No “I should have bought it when I had the chance.”

It also locks in your price. When demand spikes later (and it usually does), you won’t be paying inflated resale prices to someone who did pre-order.

This is completely normal in the world of premium collectibles. Studios release, retailers allocate, collectors secure early. That’s how the ecosystem works.

Yes — it requires a little patience. High-end pieces take time to manufacture properly. But the alternative is hoping leftovers magically appear… which they don’t.

If this is your first pre-order, think of it as reserving your place in line for something special. Serious collectors don’t wait for release day — they secure their piece early.

Patience now. Glory on display later.

In the cavernous gloom beneath the lonely Mountain, all is quiet. A hot stillness lies upon the vast desert of gold and treasure that carpets the ancient Dwarf city's once teeming halls; a treasure unrivalled in all Middle-earth, but which glitters unlooked upon by mortal eyes.

For the wealth of Erebor is not unguarded.

"Many decades have passed since the Dragon Smaug's appetite and lust for gold lead him south from the Withered Heath to assail the kingdom of the Dwarves. Swift and terrible was his coming, in which untold multitudes of men and Dwarves died in fire and ruin. For now, all is peaceful in the halls of the sleeping Dragon, coiled serpent-like in his hoard.
Yet this stillness is an illusion, for the jealous mind of a Dragon is never restful. Fevered dreams of thieves and usurpers make his slumber an angry one, eyes snapping open to dart back and forth, long snake-neck rising suddenly to swing about, counting the coins and cups, platters and gem-studded jewellery, his senses keenly tuned to the barest hint of scent or soft step that might herald the intrusion of some greedy, reckless fool. Smaug will share no trinket of his hoard, and as immeasurably vast and powerful as he is, doubt gnaws the corners of his confidence, fraying his wits and dooming him to a restless, broken, red-hot sleep.

Into this simmering pit of suspicion and rage stumbles a simple hobbit with no thought of treasure. Propelled by his obligation to honour a naive promise to a friend and prove himself worthy of a Wizard's faith, Bilbo Baggins treads nervously upon the hallowed gold. It is a simple act of astounding bravery that impels each nervous step, spilling trickles of coins that become a cascade, a landslide of gold that will in turn unleash upon the world a monstrous wrath, change the course of history and precipitate a brief and bloody siege: for Bilbo has awoken the Dragon.
