It does look pretty good, and I especially like the brick detailing on the structure itself.
But I hope they release more than a single $99 set, and I hope they release it at retail!

Yeah, just guessing based on piece-count.

The original listing on Amazon UK had it at $117 before it got pulled. With the Banished Phantom at $117 for 1200 pieces and that seems about right.  |

I see that being on drastic clearance then, and only online.  |

The griffin looks really great. The building look a little bland. Personally nothing about this set cries out to me to pay $100 for it. That's just how I feel.
That Griffin would go great with my GOT Drogon though. They should consider selling it separately.

Maybe that's the overseas price? I hear that Mega often costs more in Europe, etc.

FWIW - one of the pics on Amazon has a QR code on the box - takes you to a video on megabrandsmedia.com.

BTW i finally started to build this set and the griffin is a dissapointment.
The Feathers are plastic foil, otherwise the look is ok.
The biggest downside is, when its compleatly builded, the front parts gets to heavy and the legs can not hold the weight.
So no matter what you do the legs cant hold the weight. If you set the wings on the ground its kinda ok.
Maybe some rubber between could solve it but is a huge design flaw.

I also have a problem with the feathers constantly popping off.
On the other hand,once done the set looks great. The lighting is especially effective and a neat feature.

Yeah just finished it and overall it looks very good. The light effects add a lot.
Basicly the set is way to expensive at release. I got it for 120€ when it was released the retail in germany was 180€ that was waaaay to much.
If you look at Winterfell that was 60€ and has more figures and more stones.
Good to see that is now discounted in the US 60$ should be ok.
