Gentle Giant Mini-Busts

[DualSaberMaster]

Well here comes the prerequisite "can someone try to help me aquire the CIII exclusive Corporal Sandtrooper"

I will be attending SDCC for all 5 days, so I might have a decent chance to nab the SDCC GG exclusive there.

Scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours. 

[Morgbug]

Will do what I can for you Ricardo.

[DualSaberMaster]

Will do what I can for you Ricardo.

Much obliged Morgbug.

I wonder if they'll be selling this at the Gentle Giant booth, or in the C3 store?

Email says booth 411.  Maybe that helps.  I'm guessing that will be the first line I get into, everything else will be secondary for me.

[Nicklab]

Ugghhh.  Lines.  Why do there have to be so many lines?!

[Jeff]

So, 2500 busts / 4 days of C3 = 625 per day?

 

Better bring my lucky underpants along...

And the way the lines ran at Celebration 2?!  Damn.  This piece might be tough to get even if you ARE going to the show.

I think I've got a pretty good deal in place to polish off another 3 busts that I still need - IG-88, C-3PO, Gammorean Guard, plus another Stormtrooper.  So I think that leaves me short the Greedo, Bossk, Vader and Fett.  Getting there, slowly but surely!

Yeah, I think this C3 bust will be quite challenging.  I may be more inclined to chase it first, rather than the Vader figure, as I burst through their doors on Thursday morning...

I am pretty sure they will be for sale at the Gentle Giant booth. 

As for a SDCC exclusive.....I guess they have done one the last two years so we can expect another one this year too.

This year due to me going to C3 and having twins on the way, I will probably not be able to do Wizard World Chicago like I have the past two years....up in the air still.  Maybe I can leave at the crack of dawn on Friday....drive to Chicago...spend the night and head back late on Sat.

Thinking about it more I might try to get a friend to get an extra C3 bust to be abl eto trade for any SDCC or Wizard Chicago bust that Gentle Giant might do.

GH has a pic of the upcoming Yoda mini bust from GG.

I like it.  OT has something that PT (so far) just doesn't.  Not owning the previous Yoda bust, this is a welcome announcement and I'll happily own this one.  I like the first version with the saber, but this is fine.

[JayDouble]

Anyone know the production number on Yoda?

[Nicklab]

It's still TBD, along with the release date.  Gentle Giant determines the edition size based on the number of orders they receive for a given item.

Brent, I'm with you on this Yoda bust.  Looks pretty good, and I much prefer the OT stuff.

Jedimac, thanks for digging up that pic of the 3p0.  I saw the 3p0 at suncoast last weekend, so I ended up picking him up.  Haven't had a chance to open him yet, but he looks pretty good from what I can tell.

[JediMAC]

No sweat.

Got my Gamorrean, IG-88, C-3PO and a second Stormtrooper a couple days ago, so I'm getting a little more caught up once again.  All very nice looking pieces, for sure.

So what do we still have on tap for the OT still?  Leia Boussh, Sandtroopers x3, Han, Yoda...  What else am I forgetting?

I guess I'll be getting that new Vader too, since the prior one's a little outrageous on the secondary market still.  What's the word on which flick the next Vader bust is officially from?  Is it ROTS, or just an average OT version?  Don't remember now...
