WOOHOO!!!!

1st edition Darth Vader is finally in hand.  I just have the red AOTC Clone Trooper left to go in order to catch up on the regular issue mini-bust line.  That is of course depending on whether or not I win a Neyo in the raffle. ;D

The chin bit and the black parts in the mouth look real untidy.
Maybe its not so noticable in person, but a close up pic like that made it very noticable.
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

That's cool.  I'm pretty sure that's the same chrome Boba Fett that was given out as a prize at SDCC last year for the Bust Ups building contests.

BTW, I think that probably belongs in the Bust Ups thread.

It looks like the one I already own too, so I'd say you are correct.

It's the same one they handed out last year. 

I thought it was relevant since it's not the PGM gift and gives hope to it being a bust.

That's pretty cool of them to surprise their members with that. I'm thinking I should be expecting one since I joined on the 28th of December. Still waiting to see what that free gift is for buying the premier membership...

Hmm, i'm wondering if i'm one of the 500, it would be nice if they let you know with a membership # or something...

On Mini Bust news, I received my Spirit Yoda from the raffle and i'm a bit disappointed. First, the flute around his neck was broken in the box. Second, the pressure swtich on the bottom for the light feature is faulty. It only lights up when you push it all the way in and it doesn't lock in place. I emailed GG so i'm curious to see what they'll say...

They actually sent an e-mail this morning letting me know i would get the bust-up. Too bad the e-mail came after i got the bust up.

Good things come to those who wait as I was able to get a Boba bust for $135 shipped.  ;D
