They had an offer on the Argonath today for people on the waitlist but i'm guessing you hadn't heard.
So can a pony prance or what?

Yep apparently cleaned out in an hour.
I wonder how many were available.

Placed my order for the Weta Prancing Environment.. Looks really cool and such a good feeling to know the item is actually created by the LOTR staff

Just received my Prancing Pony enviro 15 mins ago.
Underwhelmed by the size. Didn't see this thread before otherwise I may have been better prepared. I expected a base size like Helm's Deep or Golden Hall but it's more like Amon Hen.
Orthanc 9 years ago at edition size of 750: $95
Even with inflation and an edition of 500, this should not have cost more than $125, in my based-on-collecting-Weta-since-2004 opinion. Bah.
Apart from size, I like it. 386/500.

They always list dimensions on their website, as well as having photos from conventions, so we all knew it'd be small! I'm sure Rivendell will make up for it!
Mines should be arriving soon as well. Can't wait to add this to my environment collection.

Looking around I found a place that had an extra pre-order available. I will be adding the Pony as well!

Not the most impressive piece, IMO. but I'm sure many LOTR fans would appreciate it. 
Underwhelmed by this piece as well. It's too small, overpriced and don't look that great. It's the worst environment so far by weta. Golden hall is better. Paperweight. It's on the heavy side for the size, at least it's not hollow.

Finally got mine. It's a nice enough environment, but I too have to admit I'm a bit underwhelmed by it's size. No doubt, having to following in the footsteps of two memorable environments, The Argonath and Bag End, probably didn't help much either.

Hopefully Rivendell makes up for it,
Largest base size of any environment!

I have no doubt Rivendell will be spectacular.

I canceled my order for this environment. Decided I didn't need to "collect them all" and it really does cost too much for such a tiny environment. I'll be saving up my money for pre-ruin Orthanc and Rivendell.
