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.

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

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 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?
