Auction is coming!
Here’s your first chance to reign over Westeros by seizing control of the never-before-auctioned Iron Throne — along with a treasure trove of memorabilia from HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
Fans of the widely popular TV show can buy — 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 touts.
There’s even a melted down Iron Throne — which was not metal at all but painted plastic — along with a 300-pound, intact “touring” version of the royal seat.
Are you ready to see what lies beyond the Great Wall? The auction is scheduled for Oct. 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 which scored 59 Emmy awards. It landed No. 7 on a Rotten Tomatoes list of critics’ best TV shows of the last 25 years.
The show — based on the book series “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin — aired from 2011 to 2019, spanning eight epic seasons and 73 episodes.
“As these costumes, props and set pieces have never been to auction, it’s impossible to say what prices they will ultimately realize,” Heritage told The Post.

The starting bid 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 for the extinct dragon eggs. The opening bid is $3,600.

Also up for grabs is the bell wielded during Cersei Lannister’s “walk of shame” over her incestuous relationship with her brother.
The hottest item up for bid is an original melted Iron Throne prop measuring approximately 115″ x 90″ x 4.5″ x 26″ and “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 lit from beneath “to appear like molten iron with tendrils extending from its core.”
“This iconic symbol of power meets its dramatic end in Season 8, Episode 6, fittingly titled The ‘Iron Throne.’ The throne, “melted by the dragon Drogon in a fit of rage and sorrow after the death of Daenerys Targaryen, symbolizes the end of an era and the devastating consequences of the pursuit of power,” Heritage touts.
There’s also a replica Iron Throne crafted exclusively for promotional events such as Comic-Con, Hollywood premieres and the “Game of Thrones Touring Exhibition.”
The original throne remains in the Warner Bros. Discovery archives, Heritage noted.
The auction “spans nearly every character and almost 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.
