For the price of 5 of these I could get a brand new Weber Summit Kamado with the table.   Hmmmm.

When you put it like that - if I only bought 3 I'd actually be saving money.   ;D

Problem is I'd do that then decide to find a way to buy the anniversary kettles as well.

They are looking cool. Love the yellow. Unfortunately the prices are way to steep for my taste. I will stick with my used old kettles.
Green 22" Perfomer, Red 22" One Touch Platinum, Blue 22" Kettle, Yellow Simpspons Smokey Joe, Pink Q1200, Blue Platinum C.

My request for Anniversary Weber kettle overtime has been approved so I am good !!
Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

The Weber site shows pricing but also "Coming Soon".

...I really can't fathom why these are price $140 more than the Mastertouch - for an aluminum tray, sign and bottle opener?  I think a $50 premium would be more in-line for what you're getting.  The Glen-Blue 26 was $399 less than two years ago - sure, covid, supply-chain, inflation, etc. means the Glen-blue would probably be closer to $499 in todays dollars. ...

Totally agree, and I think there is also another reason. Between the initial demand at $399 and prices on the secondary market (in 2020 and now), I think Weber believes they left money on the table with the Glen Blue 26.  Demand so far outstripped the supply, that Weber could have charged a lot more ($600+?) at the time and still sold every single one they produced.

At the end of the day, while I would love to have a 70th Anniv. kettle, I would get more enjoyment by purchasing $439 worth of prime meat and Berkshire pork.

Besides, I'ml holding out for the 75th anniversary kettle priced at $749!  ;D

I do think I'll be ordering some of those wheels.  Been looking for some 8" wheels for my Aristocrat, but thought current 8" wheels looked a little awkward- these might fit the bill though.

@AS in SA - We won't be selling the 70th Anniversary Edition Kettle components separately. The only way to get them is to buy the grill. #IworkforWeber

Do you know what colors that will be for sale in Europe? What I can find out we only get hollywood grey here in Sweden.

I've decided not to purchase any of these..... the realization has hit that to add any more means to get rid of some to make room.  I've got quite a few that I've never cooked on and I would probably only have these around to look at.  Considering a sell off too........

I wanted a yellow one but now I save the money

I think if I budget my money right, I'll be able to purchase 1 anniversary edition kettle every 2 years. In this order: Hot Rod Yellow, Diner Green, Rock N Roll Blue. I already have 2 weathered warriors that are Hollywood Gray, so

HG is out! I sure hope these AEK will be around for the next six years. @Jburns if truly you do work for Weber, can you put in a priority request straight to the head source, for the Weber Glen Bue Master Touch 22.5" to be

released in the U.S. market?
