Gentle Giant Bust Ups!

[jokabofe]

Why do I get the feeling some packs will have a suprise Clone like the black one in the Stormtrooper packs?

I don't think so. These come in a window box, if I'm not mistaken... I think putting a "chase" version in some of them would cause a riot.

I'm thinking these will be packed differently than single bust ups.  Look at the Stormtrooper pack and Holo Sith pack, they were packed togethter.  Don't want to make things worse, but colors they could make are red or green clones.

I just placed my order at SWS.com for one of each Clone set - dirty and clean.  That'll work just swell.  No way in **** I need two of each.  I think it'll work fine (with my OCD) to just have both poses of each Clone displayed with one clean pose and the alternate pose in dirty.  Yes, that should be sufficient.  I swear.

But I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see them pull another "Blackhole Stormtrooper" Bust-up type of deal with these, since that generated a pretty decent amount of hype for the line the last time the bastards did it...

[JayDouble]

I did the same Matt, but damn $52 for just 2 sets shipped.   

[Morgbug]

Well they're still available as of right now.  I just ordered mine, 1 clean and 1 dirty.

Thanks to some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket, I ordered mine too!  I got greedy and ordered 2 of each set so I could display each clone in 2 different poses, which'll make for 16 clones.

Should be fun next to my 12 Stormtroopers.   

It sucks that I have to wait for January for these though.  I'm glad that the ROTS series is supposed to be out right away...

You crazy.

Now where the hell is that damned Hoth set?!?  This is getting boring...  They should be pumping these things out at a far more brisk pace.  Granted, it's one less thing to have to worry about, I suppose, and that's not always a bad thing.  But now that the ROTS line and movie hype is starting to tail off, it'd be cool if GG would pump a little renewed life into this line here.

[Morgbug]

The delay in the Hoth versions is helpful to me.  I was supposed to be in the US this weekend coming up, but now won't be until mid-December. 

Now if the darn Simpsons bust ups would show up around here, I'd be happy.

Picked up Yoda and two Clone Troopers from series 4 tonight at Hot Topic.

Thanks for the heads up Jay.  It's great to hear that these are finally available!

Head over to Slave1.jp for a look at images of this series, including the chase piece - Sith Eyes Anakin.

[Morgbug]

Oooh, lame chase.   

[JayDouble]

No problem Jesse. 

In a way the bust ups are still blind boxed.  They have the character displayed on the packaging but it only helps you if there's one character.  I opened up both my Clones and they were the same one. 

Getting Anakin will be a problem, they only pack 2 of him per case.  It makes it worse knowing that both are different.  Anakin was the only one I didn't see.  I guess GG learned there packing ratios from Hasbro.   

[Morgbug]

That may help Jay.

Typically in GG Bust up cases, there's an even split among the chase and regular figures.  At least that was the case for the Vader/Maul figures.  I'm not sure about the Boba ratio.  So if there's a brand new case and only two Anakin's, maybe there's one of each?

[JayDouble]

Picked up both Anakins today and the other Clone from another Hot Topic.  The variant kinds of sucks because you can't really tell when they have the hoods on.  Here's a comparison pic without the hoods.
