so the madness begins:

Mara Jade bust

Not at all my dear, they've been up for at least two weeks and a few have been higher than those BINs.  They'll go around $100-125 in the week post-Con. 

When I'm wrong, I'm wrong.  And boy, am I wrong :o  Price is climbing and averaging around $160 for this one rather than dropping.  Ooops. 

I'll wait on the CC and if I can't get this one there, I'll opt out on it totally.

Wanted to pass on the word....there is a new store in town.

 HERO HUNT COLLECTIBLES

It is run by a local friend of mine...and after much pulling teeth ;) he is offering an introductory price of 20% off most items......all of them I think. But most importantly, 20% off all Gentle Giant stuff.

I will personaly vouch for him.

Yep, not sure why there coming this quick.
We usually have to wait  2-4 weeks after stuffs been released in the U.S so it makes a nice change to get something first for once ;D

Some of the distributers already have them here in the states. From what I've heard they're already being allocated to the different dealers and will be shipping in the next week. I confirmed this though the place I put them on preorder with. Still keeping my fingers crossed that my order gets filled. The guy said that distributers are already cutting orders back to fill their more high dollar accounts first... :-\

I got a few ordered through SWShop and they have a pending authorization on my card for the exact amount. I also got a case coming from Most Wanted...nothing on that one yet.

Well two whites and two blues sold straight away in the store.
Obviously I kept the Utapu formyown collection ;D I'd have liked to have kept one of each but I also bought a sandtrooper and Han solo this week along with my sideshow 1/4 leia so I really couldnt justify keeping 3 different colours of the same bust.
They look great by the way, I actually preffered the 501st to the utapu but I decided to keep the Utapu because of the edition size.

I received my consolation package from GG on Monday. I got the Shock Trooper, Mara Jade, Malfoy Death Eater and Vader bust ups. I'm almost happier having received this than a Blackhole Stormtrooper  ;D! I got a pretty low number on mara too, #61. My lowest bust # yet.

 :o

I've no disagreement that they screwed up on the ordering process but what a great way to compensate for the error.  The value, ebay-wise, is roughly identical to a BHS bust and those are some pretty nice pieces.  Glad to see they followed through.

Now to wait for the mayhem with the next online sale...

Good stuff Ray.  At least you got something out of it besides disappointment.

I agree.  What a way to compensate for their screw-up.  I'm glad I got the BHS bust  but damn...that might have been worth the screw up.
