WEBER 2022 70th Anniversary Edition Kettles! (TEMP BACK?)

[MoparProud]

Local dealer got gray and blue in. Still on the fence about gray, blue is very close to Glen Blue but I would say GB is a smidge darker. They pulled the nicest boxes and set aside for me, yellow is on the way with green yet to ship. Confirmed they ordered a Ranch for me as well....going to be a spendy early summer for me

whose to say they won't bring back the RED kettle or other desirables for the 75th anniversary? Maybe they'll get the red back to the quality we all want.

That is great news!!!  @MoparProud is the gray a matte finish?  In the pictures I have seen it almost looks like it does not have the same sheen as the other colors.

Maybe these aren't that limited after all? All still available and been up for almost an hr.

Got my order in for a Yellow.

I put two in my cart and with tax over $900.... A new set of tires for my Yukon won my decision.  Gotta get to the beach this summer, will definitely have a colorful Weber with us - just not one of these.  I look forward to seeing you guys cook on these soon!

So quiet....has the forum died down a ton? I thought this would have been the big chat of the day.

With the way the market has dropped in recent weeks, who would miss a quarter of a share of Alphabet getting sold? 

$439??? That's $300 more an Original Kettle. It's also $140 more than a colored Master-Touch and $164 more than the black Master-Touch. Weber did not get this greedy with the GB 26". My hot take is that the 70's will still be available in a month, and at some point after that, they will get marked down.

Edit: How did I miss this. A black 26 is $10 LESS than a 70th Anniversary!

A lot of people have already said they were not buying because of the price.   Which leads to less people excited and wanting to talk about it.  If these were $300 there would probably be a lot more activity today.  Just my guess.

My Glen Blue 26" was $399 and I'm very happy with it and glad that I bought it.  I got it for a couple of reasons...... It is actually a color that I wanted - Glen Blue, and I didn't have another 26" grill at the time which was something I wanted and needed.  I think that if they matched colors from the 60s/70s to the anniversary editions it would make more sense and be more sought after.  I do like the colors offered, but I'd wager that if they did these in Glen Blue, a true Gourmet Yellow (70s), a chocolate and a true red all that matched color tones of the past with names of the past along with authentic wood handles and metal wheels they'd sell more.  The price turned me away along with plastic hubcaps and handles.  I'd still like to have one some time - maybe used if the opportunity comes along.

Completely agree. If there was a 26" option I would be more inclined to drop $400+.

So if I buy one I can pay myself back in monthly installments of $37.50 for one year.  Not bad!  I can rationalize just about anything when it comes to Weber kettles lol....
