Yep.  I got in on one of the last preorders for Hammerhead at BBTS when he was priced at $71.  Delivered on 5/3.

I opened my brown snake Yoda and I'm more ok with it now.  I think that's mostly due to such a great backer card image.  Still wish it were fluffier and longer, but I don't hate it as much as I did when I first saw the pic.

Yeah, that's certainly a great deal.  I always wonder about box strength though from sources I haven't ordered from before, especuially with ffree shipping, and I wonder if they'd skimp on packing material or use a flimsy box.

I know BBTS has really tough shipping boxes. I gotta have those cards mint, so BBTS's higher price is generally worth it to me for peace of mind that there'll be no damage during shipping.  I've been lucky so far, and I have all of them.  And for the ones straight from GG, those boxes have also been pretty good.

Hammerhead is in stock at BBTS.  But he's 80 bucks...

I got mine from GG.  I just watched the site and ordered as soon as it was in stock.  But I usually like to get these from BBTS since their shipping boxes are so strong.

So this new style cloak is nothing like the original.  They even put up this pic on the GG site:

Am I the only one who isn't ok with it and wishes they made it "just like the original" (sort of their tagline for this series)?

Please post pics when they arrive.  I've read that there's something wrong with the cloak.  Too short, smooth, and not baggy enough, and looks like a sportcoat.  Anyone else hear  this?

Here's a pic:

I received notice that my account would auto-renew on Monday, but I haven't seen anything new regarding this on the site or via email.  Has anyone else renewed their membership yet?

I haven't yet either.  :'(
I emailed customer service since mine didn't auto renew either.  They responded saying that some older memberships didn't renew automatically.  But then they processed it manually.

So contact CS and they'll put it through.

$62.44 for me.  Agreed, this "48 hour pricing" is a great idea, and a great deal.  FYI, it expires at 6 pm PST on Thursday Jan 17, so PGM members, get your orders in before that. 

Might we hope that they will do this for all new releases for PGM members?  I'd love to get all the new ones for this price.

Bossk was just added to the lineup, with a release date of Q3 2013.  Glad to see this one.

The regular carded version went up for preorder yesterday.  Here's a comparison of the two cards.  I gotta say, the non-coin card matches all the other ones a lot better.  I'll get both of them, but may end up not keeping the coin one.  Although, how big is that coin by itself?  A super large coin like that is pretty cool in its own right.

Customer service emailed me back and said the Labor Day Holiday has slowed their shipping procedures down a bit, so that explained it.

13
Yeah, I already checked the online status.  It wasn't even marked as shipped yet, but said it was in the "final stage of processing".  I sent an email to customer service last night, and while I didn't receive any specific response to that, this morning I received the standard shipping confirmation email with a tracking number.  Coincidence or not, it appears to be shipped now (or, according to the UPS website, "ready for shipment".)  So it'll be on its way soon.

14
Rats, ok thanks.  I've sent customer service an email.

Has anyone else's Lando shipped out yet?  After I received that email last week about the order "being processed" on Thursday, I expected it to ship shortly thereafter, but it hasn't yet.  Does this indicate a problem, or are others' orders also not shipped yet?
