Sadly all the older busts appear on the site and leave you hopeful.  They don't got nada, to put it mildly.   :'(  I tried with all the older stuff when I started in on this line about a year ago and no luck then either.

So here i am , wondering how to get some of the older busts, I hear ppl talking that the Fett mini bust is going for $200+ but at GG site you can order it for i think $55?
Is this still possible? or is it a case of them not updating their site, even still i cant order it yet cause they dont ship outside US and Canada

I tried the same thing on a number of occassions JUST IN CASE.  The story is that Gentle Giant simply needs to update their website.  It's annoying.

And let me state that yes, the Boba Fett mini-bust is currently going for about $200 US.  I just paid that over the weekend for one that I purchased at a convention.  Jango Fett seems to be a little less expensive in some cases, even though the limited edition size for that piece was smaller than that of Boba Fett.  Strange!

On another note, I'm somewhat surprised that Gentle Giant hasn't announced an exclusive mini-bust for the summer convention season.  I saw the announcement for the silver Jango Fett Bust Up, but traditionally GG has offered an exclusive mini-bust at the summer cons for the past couple of years.  I have to wonder if they feel that the Sandtrooper Corporal filled that role, and that as a result they won't be offering a mini-bust at Comic Con or at Wizard World Chicago.

The problem with America is stupidity I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself

I love a bargain

relatively speaking, that is

Surprised it went so low.  An hour later someone pays $300 :o

That was the only older bust I really wanted.  I do want the red, blue and white clones, but I can live without them at that price.  And I can live without the first versions of the Vader and Yoda given new ones are on their way.  Another hole filled. 8)

OCtrooper, Congrat's on the Vader.  It is truly an amazing piece.   :o

Morgbug, excellent price on Fett.  I too can live without the Clones and the first Vader & Yoda, but the Fett is one I definitely want to pick up someday.  Congrat's.   :)

Boba Fett was one hole in my mini-bust collection that was really bothering me.  Glad I got it finally at a show for a reasonable price.  Still, now I'm on the lookout for good values for the 1st Vader and Yoda along with the red Clone.  It never ends.  :-[

Nice pickup on the Fett Brent.  I would love to get that one - but unless I win a lotto or something it would probably be a marriage limiting move.

OK, so here's a question? I received my GG Chrome Stormtrooper bust today and there was no clear package with the COA inside. Do some of the GG busts come without the COA like this or just this bust? Did anyone else not get a COA with theres?  ???

I got mine straight from Gentle Giant and I believe this was one of the pieces that didn't have a COA included.

This thread has died.  I just posted my GG collection over at rebelscum, so I might as well do it here.  I don't plan on getting anymore of the past releases due to the prices, but I do hope to get all of the future releases.
