The auction is coming!
This is your first chance to reign over Westeros by taking control of the never-before-auctioned Iron Throne, along with a treasure trove of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” memorabilia.
Fans of the popular TV show can purchase (starting bids range from $500 to $20,000) dragon eggs, a White Walker, Jaime Lannister’s golden hand and Jon Snow’s Valyrian steel sword, Heritage Auctions is promoting.
There is even a melted Iron Throne, which was not metal at all but painted plastic, along with an intact 300-pound “tourist” version of the royal seat.
Are you ready to see what lies beyond the Great Wall? The auction is scheduled for October 10-12.
Heritage worked with HBO’s archivists and production team to offer more than 900 lots, consisting of more than 2,000 pieces from the celebrated fictional drama that won 59 Emmy Awards and was ranked No. 7 on a Rotten Tomatoes list of the best television shows of the past 25 years according to critics.
The show, based on George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series, aired from 2011 to 2019 and spanned eight epic seasons and 73 episodes.
“As these costumes, props and sets have never been auctioned, it is impossible to say what prices they will ultimately achieve,” Heritage told The Post.

The starting price for a dragon skull, hand-carved from blown foam and measuring 137″ x 78″ x 60″, is $2,500.
You’ll probably have to shell out even more money for the extinct dragon eggs. The starting bid is $3,600.

Also at stake is the bell used during Cersei Lannister’s “walk of shame” for her incestuous relationship with her brother.
The most attractive item up for auction is an original cast Iron Throne that measures approximately 115″ x 90″ x 4.5″ x 26″ and is “studio-crafted from dense, semi-translucent plastic with a painted metallic finish.”
Featuring swords in varying stages of melting and twisting, the throne, the centerpiece of the entire series, can be illuminated from below “to look like molten iron with tendrils extending from its core.”
“This iconic symbol of power comes to a dramatic end in Season 8, Episode 6, aptly titled The Iron Throne. The throne, “melted down by the dragon Drogon in a fit of rage and grief following the death of Daenerys Targaryen, symbolizes the end of an era and the devastating consequences of the pursuit of power,” Heritage promotes.
There is also a replica of the Iron Throne designed exclusively for promotional events such as Comic-Con, Hollywood premieres and the “Game of Thrones Traveling Exhibition.”
The original throne remains in the Warner Bros. Discovery archives, Heritage noted.
The auction “spans nearly every character and nearly every second of the series, from the pilot episode to the series finale, from the moment Robert Baratheon asks Ned Stark to become Hand of the King to Bran Stark being crowned ruler of the Six Kingdoms,” Heritage says.
