Weta Workshop's Minas Tirith Environment Review

A review of the fantastic Minas Tirith Environment by the artist at Weta Workshop

[@HazDev56]

I just realize Denethor has ran a far way from the very back of Minas Tirith to the front when he's burning😂

[@ElessarTORn]

When you’re on fire you’re faster it seems. lol

[@jonstarkthekinginthenorth6088]

this is absolutely the only thing i want most i love the lord of the rings so much and i just fell in love with the city of minas tirith my favorite settlement and i think me being the ultimate lord of the rings fan i have to get this

[@Divine_Chareka]

This is a masterpiece

[@Tconl]

“It’s a hit on the wallet”... looks at Treebeard.... cries in a corner... I almost bought this one, such a shame the tree is missing from the top though. Still flipping awesome for the rest.

[@ElessarTORn]

Yeah TB was a massive hit for anyone but it’s an incredible piece. The tree is there but it’s obviously that little thing on top. At that size you just can’t get a tree on it. Honestly I wouldn’t let that hold you back from getting it at some point.

[@Trickshot72]

A magnificent piece, sir. Congratulations on acquiring it.

[@ElessarTORn]

Thanks!

beautiful city

[@ElessarTORn]

Jeff K my favorite city in all of Middle-earth.

[@hecpal1982]

Wonderful masterpiece! Unfortunately, the Weta Workshop website says this piece is sold out :( I don't know if they are planning to sell this item again.

[@ElessarTORn]

Yeah it sold out a long time ago. Your best bet at this point is to track it down on eBay or various collectors groups.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Today Weta announced it's back into production, they're now taking preorders.

[@LotrCollection]

@@thecyberhobbitjust received notification of final payment due for shipping next week

[@thecyberhobbit]

@@LotrCollection me too, can't wait! hopefully it's not one of those scenarios that we get the notification and then it arrives a month or so later. I got my notification for the Miniature Smeagol/Gollum almost 4 weeks ago.... still nothing.

[@donotneedonethnx]

Personally I preferred Rivendell, but MT is in fact beautifully done and, thankfully!!! much lighter in weight than Rivendell! I get lost in the details of both environments. :)

[@krzychuk.6364]

I’m hoping we’ll get more videos from you soon!

[@ElessarTORn]

Absolutely! I’ve got several things coming over the course of this year that I plan to review.

[@emmancruz3865]

I hope you review the path ways that leads to the top

[@WoWReforged]

Hey is this the same model like in the movie? So the buildings etc. are exactly like in the movie? And are there seven rings? It looks more like 6 but the top is probably the 7th ring right? I am trying to make a map based on the movie.

[@ElessarTORn]

It is done from the model that was used in the movie, correct. Yes every ring of Minas Tirith is there.

[@edmunddragon]

Can I purchase from you? Willing to pay more than your initial retail price

[@badoorpecha9539]

What are it’s measurements? Would you kindly tell me? Please!!!

[@MrSRA13]

I really want to get all the weta pieces at some point but sadly they don't keep making them? I've always wondered why. Any idea where to look for these or is it just luck and ebay at this point? Instead of the environments I spent all my money on games workshop LOTR range as well as Hobbit which I completed. So I have thousands of minis and characters, hundreds of armies and scenarios in my middle earth dedicated games room. I just think these pieces would literally make it look like a complete miniature middle earth 😍 but as you say...my poor poor wallet Love your collection

[@badoorpecha9539]

How much is it? Would you sell it? Would you please tell me it’s details measurements? I search it on weta's website. The item isn’t there anymore! I want it badly. Will you help me please? I would be very greatful.

[@edmunddragon]

Can I purchase from you?

[@troyisfilming]

Good stuff!

[@mikedabig4088]

I wanted this piece so bad ever since I saw it years ago. If I ever get a good job and some money I will buy this even before some nice furniture for my apartment or even a car! It makes me sad these are not getting made anymore. You think weta will ever do another round?

[@guerropeuto801]

So they just made Minas Morgul available again. I just bought it. So keep checking on weta’s online page

[@mikedabig4088]

@@guerropeuto801 Congrats man!

[@ga6381]

Josh is this piece limited edition ? Why no numbers on the bottom. My shipping carton says 717 of 1000. ?

[@ElessarTORn]

It's an open edition. So there won't be a number. That on the carton is just where it was in the shipping order.

[@УрфинДжюс-п2ы]

Круть крутая!!!

[@scotvince7847]

Where can I buy one ? The Weta website say it is sold out.

[@ElessarTORn]

Try secondary sellers or even ebay.

[@laurence4843]

why is the white tree so short? barely sticking out

[@ElessarTORn]

Because of the scale.

[@ASlickNamedPimpback]

My Dad has one, and I never knew the worth until now...

[@ElessarTORn]

Hafelord he’s got a great piece in his collection. 🤘🏼

[@Raito73]

Where is the tree ?

[@ElessarTORn]

Because of the size of the piece they can't make the tree look like a tree.

[@danielelupo621]

Where can i buy it?

[@ElessarTORn]

Should be able to track it down on the secondary market someplace.

[@jonstarkthekinginthenorth6088]

can you do a compare video with the danbury mint statue

[@ElessarTORn]

I don't know when I'll have time. Like I said in the video this is is wider for sure. Height wise they're close but only because the DM version is so stretched vertically.

[@jonstarkthekinginthenorth6088]

+Josh Long oh anyway i will like to see that thought

[@lewis8422]

No tree?

[@lehue7883]

Omg so brilliant, u were talented. Can i buy this ?

[@pt-dg7yu]

Eye of Sauron

[@temporarymomentary]

How movie accurate it is ?

[@ElessarTORn]

Very accurate. I'm sure there are little things but the same guys who worked on the movie did this. So you will be hard pressed to find something.

[@jbearmcdougall1646]

Its absolutely beautiful..... But it's not correct to the book... The City Wall was the protective stone wall that enclosed Minas Tirith on its lowest level. Its only opening was the Great Gate that pierced the wall at its easternmost point. "For the main wall of the City was of great height and marvellous thickness, built ere the power and craft of Númenor waned in exile; and its outward face was like to the Tower of Orthanc, hard and dark and smooth, unconquerable by steel or fire, unbreakable except by some convulsion that would rend the very earth on which it stood."― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, "The Siege of Gondor"

[@ElessarTORn]

I'm with ya. I love Minas Tirith and Gondor. I'm so glad Weta did a large version. It's such a wonderful piece and done like we saw in the movies.

[@jonstarkthekinginthenorth6088]

[@edmunddragon]

[@ElessarTORn]

While I appreciate the offer I will be holding on to this. It’s my favorite environment and I don’t see myself letting it go anytime soon.

[@MaximizedAction]

The model is getting produced again and on pre-order. It’s got a big vertical footprint, but…it‘s Minas Tirith! I might just have to get it

[@ElessarTORn]

I saw that. Very cool. It’s a big footprint but worth it, imo.

[@kingwacky184]

How cool would it not be to have a huge room laid out like a map with all these great pieces in the same room? The floor of the room as a huge map like the one Bilbo and Frodo look at that show everything in middle earth, and on each location on that map would be the correct piece. And you could like walk around the pieces. Not as a exhibit of course that would be to risky but at ones house. That would be a project I would love to dedicate time to.

[@ElessarTORn]

King Wacky That would be awesome. Maybe someday I can do that.

[@twinkthatloveslotrtrilogy7676]

That would be so cool,if I was rich I would make it

[@Davy.J.Y]

Amazing..i love this )

[@OZRICGLEN]

Majestic.!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Hi Josh, curious how much this originally cost? Now that they have put it back into production, I've preordered but just curious how much it has gone up.

[@ElessarTORn]

I think it was like $700ish.

[@omarelmuslimany1110]

I didn't find any master piece like this good jop pro

[@glen3898]

I see a lot of these on Ebay at the moment...literally cheap Chinese knock offs... re-casts as they are called. They look pretty nice to and for 180USD + postage.... I gotta say it's tempting as I can't justify the WETA ones... although I am sure something would surely get lost in translation in their recasts.... also the paint job... still tempted.

[@jeevanjyotish]

I want to buy it? Any link available? Thanks

[@ElessarTORn]

You should check Weta’s website. It may still be up there. They’ve had a big sale recently so I’m not sure.

[@klinsmannhotspur9792]

[@jamst123]

Should have been shown like this in the film. The film version looks unrealistic and too narrow.
