If you are the ultimate “Game of Thrones” fan (and have tons of money to shell out) then spend season three next year watching from your life size replica of the Iron Throne. The throne is on sale for a measly $30,000 with an extra $1,800 in shipping costs.
HBO’s online store is selling the “”hand-finished, hand-painted fiberglass and fire-proof resin” versions that are identical to the one featured on the show and in the novel series. According to the mythology of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novels, the Iron Throne was constructed by former king Aegon Targaryen, the first king of the Seven Kingdoms, who built the throne from the thousands of swords taken from his defeated enemies. The throne was built over 59 days of constant hammering to get the swords into position and much is made of how uncomfortable it is to sit in. So maybe you won’t sit in it too often.
The replicas are over 7 feet tall and weigh 350 pounds. The official specs are:
- Height: 7’2
- Depth: 5’11
- Width: 5’5
- Weight: 350 pounds
Since going on sale Tuesday morning there hasn’t been any information on whether anyone has bought the chair but surely only a Lannister could afford it anyway.
