Gentle Giant Mini-Busts

Just got an email from BBTS stating that Veers will now be in his Imperial dress uniform instead of his AT-AT combat gear. He looked great in the combat gear, so I ended up cancelling my preorder. Very disappointed, unfortunately.

I saw that yesterday. Looks like you’d had to have ordered the PGM version to get the AT-AT gear.

Am I remembering this right that the regular release was supposed to be armored but not removable?

I seem to think that I passed on the PGM version because I didn't think I needed to spend the extra money to get the armored version, and now it's sold out.  If that's how it went down and now he's only available that way in the 430 sold out edition size... I'm not generally one to get angry about collecting stuff, but that might do it.

Correct. The regular edition was just the AT-AT Commander version (fixed armor) the deluxe version (removable armor) is/was a PGM exclusive. You should see comments on GG's facebook post about this. People are PISSED.

Yeah, I'm with you there... I emailed them asking nicely if there was any way they could put in an order for me, after they tell me that they can't I'm going to give them an earful.

It's pretty ****** up, because I would have absolutely ordered it 8 months ago if we'd known (just like everyone else).

Love the fact that they are getting hammered on FB. I hope their retailers/distributers are also passing along their displeasure.

[Rob]

They need to just do another run of these with the armor.  It's literally the only way to fix it.
