Own the Iron Throne

Do you like Game of Thrones? Of course you do. It's one of the best fantasy series in quite a long time, and it's gaining popularity every day. The books are rich, dense tomes filled with exotic locations, diverse and interesting characters, political intrigue, and enough magic/mysticism to keep things interesting.

There is also pretty good series on HBO that people seem to like (it's awesome!) and a role-playing video game that's tearing up the sales charts. So, it's a really good property with a lot of ways to enjoy the world that George R. R. Martin has crafted.

One of the iconic images from the series is the Iron Throne. The throne was forged by Aegon Targaryen from the swords of the men who surrendered the Seven Kingdoms to his rule. It's a massive structure that reminds everyone of the blood that was spilled to unite the kingdom, and it keeps the king honest with those ever-sharp blades.


HBO is offering a replica of the Iron Throne for your enjoyment. You are going to need a lot of space though. It's 7 feet tall, 6 feet deep, and 5 feet wide. You'll also need lots of money as one will set you back a cool $30,000 plus and extra $1,800 for shipping and handling.


The good news is that this one is made from fiberglass rather than actual swords. No need for a tetanus shot if you sit on this guy.


If you snap up of these babies for your game room, let me know in the comments below or on Twitter!
