GAME OF THRONES MERCHANDISE:  A 2021 guide to investment grade merchandise and collectibles. Game of Thrones collectibles and merchandise are going to be looked at here, and we are going to discuss what items to get that will prove to be an investment in the future, for collectors and fans of the series. HBO’s Game of Thrones television series, and the literary masterpiece that has been created by George RR Martin, has come to be at the center of millions of fans lives around the world. The upcoming final 8^th series on HBO and the Winds Of Winter book, is sure to make fans appetites even more ravenous. What’s best?  For a true, hardcore fan of Game of Thrones, who wants to be surrounded by it at home, what would be the best collectors items to buy and keep? What if you know a fan of the series and want to get them a gift? You won’t want to make a mistake, as some people are so crazy about the series, that heated arguments about lines in the books, and what they mean have broken out in forums all over the internet. Ideas for collectors If you are a collector, the world of Ice and fire is such a rich fantasy landscape, replete with an exceedingly detailed history, culture, sorcery, religions, mythology, and character development. There are so many types of merchandise available, linked with specific characters and places that collectors and fans will truly love!   Think about this, you can get leather bound versions of ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ novels, there are life sized replicas of weapons like Widows Wail,King Joffery’s sword or OathKeeper Brienne of Tarth’s sword, as well as replicas of the Hound’s iconic helmet. There are pins and keychains, action figures…there is a lot to choose from. Items that are themed, and relate to the great houses such as Targaryen, Baratheon, Lannisters, Blackfyres…are great for collectors, and make getting merchandise, a great process. Most desirable? So, lets discuss, what items will be most desirable for a collector? Which merchandise of characters will be worth money on the reseller market? Well first we must look at the characters any items and merchandise feature, because the characters are what drive the narrative of the story. Contrary to conventional thinking, popular characters like Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow or Tyrion Lannister have so much merchandise based on them, that there value may not be as much for a collector. Not in the same way characters with a more cult like following would have. Collectibles as an investment At a later stage, merchandise with a Jon Snow on it, for instance can be sold on the resale market, however as an investment such… (what’s a word I could use without upsetting anybody?)  generic popular characters like Jon Snow won’t be highly sought after, or be worth much unless the piece of merchandise, represents a particular iteration of the character, during his heroes journey. The characters with merchandise and collectible items based on them, that will be worth most in the future, will be those that are not central to the story, but rather those with cult followings, were major influencers or catalysts of events. Examples are, Stannis Baratheon, Tywin Lannister, Joffery Lannister, Rhaegar Targaryen, Ser Arthur Dane, Lyanna Stark, the children of the forest, Oberyn Martell, Brown Ben Plumm, Ser Baristan Selmy, Aegon the Conqueror…..any themed items with characters like these should increase in value later, and would be loved by any collector. The best G.O.T items to buy If you are getting items, the following would be best: *Replica weapons and armour *Action figures *Miniatures  *Statues *Life sized busts *Funko’s *Books about ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ *Limited edition graphic novels *Replicas of items from the HBO series such as the Wax seal of the Lannisters, or Dragon eggs. *Posters of characters *Original Artwork of characters *Graphic novels and comics with alternate covers. *Replica House banners *Mugs with the great houses sigils *Jewellery inspired by the series. The list of Game of Thrones merchandise is not exhaustive by any means, but the above should give some ideas of what a collector should be looking for or the stuff you should look for if you want to give a gift to a collector. What you should be thinking about When getting gifts for a collector or fan of Game of Thrones, you need to know just how fanatical they are, so that you get something that they will love!  The list above should give some inspiration on the subject. It is quite funny and endearing when you think that a lot of fans, actually live vicariously through the characters of Game of Thrones, drawing confidence and inspiration from them. When getting a gift or if you are collecting yourself, think of items that are based on less popular, or secondary type characters.   Doing that will show you have done your research if you are getting a gift, and as a collector, such items will be worth more in the future due to their rarity.
