Anyone seen any merchandising items from HBO's Game of Thrones?

I am looking for the dragon eggs that Dany Targaryen has - my disabled brother collects dragons and I thought the dragon eggs would be a nice addition to his collection.

Not sure about the eggs but they have a set of the first four books on Amazon. New one should come out soon.

@sand4me: Unfortunately, I could not find any stand alone egg replicas. The only Game of Thrones egg item I could find was this necklace:

Good Luck in your search. If I ever come across these items (it's only a matter of time till someone is selling them) I will post.

I must say, as someone who has read the books, they are doing a great job. I was glad to hear it has been picked up for a second season.

@dontmakemehurtyou: have read the books and eagerly awaiting the new one on 7/12. Great story.

@mfladd: Thanks for the necklace - I knew about the t-shirts also, but am guessing that the eggs have not made it into the retail loop yet. They are doing a great job. I remember while reading how shocked I was at the death of Eddard Stark, and my spouse was equally as shocked watching the show. Filming on season 2 starts in July.

@sand4me: Interesting....it seems HBO has trademarked Game of Thrones artificial eggs (see under first bullet point) and a whole slew of other things.

@mfladd: That list seems excessive somehow. Trademarks and patents - out of control.

@sand4me: I agree it looks like HBO wants to maintain complete control of the merchandising, and perhaps licensing for GofT items. CafePress is the only other site I can find selling Game of Throne T-shirts other than the HBO Site. 20% thru tomorrow.

I'd guess you can expect them eventually. As evidenced by the bottled "tru blood" you can buy now, along with various other items.

@mfladd: They are doing a great job with staying true to the books aren't they? I can't think of any plot points they've changed or left out.

My one beef is that the wolves play a tiny role and aren't as enormous as they sound in the book. I guess they didn't want CGI which I understand. Still, love me some dire wolves!

@czarkingkaiser: they really are. It seems like forever since I read the books. But as soon as I started watching the series it all came back. I remembered just what a great series this is (with more to come) and how I really need to read these books again.

Silly me, @kuriakos beat my deal by a month!

My woot search didn't come up with anything. :/

@mfladd: I pre-ordered it weeks ago and waiting with great anticipation. Might re-read some of the others before then. The season finale was very good. My brother wants the DVD when it makes it out.

@czarkingkaiser: I also thought the wolves seemed a bit small, but they are still quite young in the storyline, so they might get bigger.

@sand4me: forgive me, if I am telling you something you already now, but the 1st season is available in dvd and blu-ray on Amazon for pre-order. And they have discounted the sets. The HBO store isn't even listing them yet. Amazon supplies no release date yet. But it might be a good time to purchase while it is discounted.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
