“Game of Thrones” fans came out in droves to bid on costumes, props and other items from the series in an auction that raked in over $21 million.
The Heritage Auctions event in Dallas featured over 900 lots including suits of armor, swords and weapons, jewelry and several other items of significance from the HBO series.
The top-dollar item was the Iron Throne and after a six-minute bidding war, the throne sold for $1.49 million.
The replica was made of plastic and molded from the original screen-used version, then finished off with metallic paint and jewel embellishments.
Heritage Auctions said in a statement Sunday that the weekend event brought in $21.1 million from more than 4,500 bidders.
The auction marked Heritage’s second-best entertainment event, just shy of the record set by a Debbie Reynolds sale it held in 2011.
