Ha! Yeah... I've said it before, but a figure is too expensive when it hits the price it would be had it been cast in silver.
$80 is way too high. I've seen it for $20 on ebay foot and mounted. You just have to play the waiting game.

How much and how rare is Golfumbul foot and mounted NiB? I know a guy selling 2 but he wants like 80 USD for it. Is he that rare? |

the mounted version is slighty more rare but defo not worth $80 USD. Like £20-30 so $45ish USD. |

80USD ? Ouch. I'd play the waiting game and take my chances with ebay. He's not that rare. |

He's not worth $45 USD. I find him all the time for cheap on eBay. More around 25-30 USD |

I doubt he's rare, I've seen plenty on eBay for very little. I also hope he is not rare, or worth anything, as I just binned my poorly painter version a few months ago. If you're looking for one, try not to pay too much because it's a very poorly sculpted miniature in my opinion. |

I have to agree that he's not a particularly inspiring piece, kind of like a gamorrean guard sat on a wolf lol. |

Oh damn, the Gammorrean comparison is great. Makes me want to paint mine less. For my money, Grishnakh was always the worst Orc in the range but maybe Golfimbul will usurp him. |

If your going to spend good money, spend it on a good mininature that is not yet OOP! Golfinbull is designed to be defeated by Bandobrast Tooke and is a real shocker in game terms,unless you are playing against Hobbits. |

I just put mine also for to much on ebay, but If I were you I would not spend more than 20 euro on him, you can always buy a poorly painted one and strip it yourself. @lord hurin Grishnakh ugly ? I love that model! especialy if you convert him a bit, I feel he has a real 'orcish' face |

Really? That's interesting! I always thought Grishnakh was quite fun and a joy to paint, particularly seeing as he was sculpted so early on in terms of the LOTR-SBG's life cycle. Perhaps it's nostalgia that makes me think this, he was after all the first evil LOTR miniature I ever owned, aside from a band of Mordor Orcs. |

I guess I don't like Grishnakh's open hand and the detailing on his back. I never knew what that stuff was, but it looks like it could almost be fur and bones woven into his armour. Weird stuff either way. |

Personally I think its a great miniature and stands out from the rank and file orcs. Also I like all the filty bones, scraps of armour and tattered cloth and fur that if painted well give a real feel of filth and dirtyness of the orcs. |

I saw a golfimbul foot and mounted on Ebay the other day listed as Glorfimbul, I snook a cheeky bid in but they still went for £30 even with the spelling mistake. Considering the Azog foot and mounted is £25 in the store and not OOP paying £30-40 is not really too bad. Personally I find the Bullroarer Took sculpts more appealing. I am hoping both models are released with new sculpts under the Hobbit range as an image of Bullroarer is seen and Gandalf tells their story. |

Just purchased a Golfimbul Mounted for £13 mint condition. I just logged into Ebay and there was 2 mins left so stuck a cheeky bid in and won. When checking the description after it said also with 36 moria Goblins. I plan to sell the moria goblins for £13 meaning I got Golfimbul for 0 |
