Sorry for asking a dumb question, but who's BT? 

Talesofwonder.com shipped out my case of busts late last week, so should be about shortly.  Thankfully I don't have to chase that stupid Utapau bust. 

And speaking of thankfully, someone graciously has offered me up a Mara bust for cost.  Big thanks to JuvyD/Jim for the assist on that one.  He was on a day off and fortunately was able to order both the Mara and the Shocktrooper, only wanting the latter.  He's already received them so I should have her fairly soon too.  Absolutely awesome help from a great collector. 8)

BT = Brian's Toys. 

Apparently they cancelled a LOT of pre-orders for the Clone Busts because they WAY oversold on them... there is a lot of talk at the other site about it.

Thank you.  I should have realized it was Brian's Toys but my mind kept getting stuck with BBTS which of course is probably honoring all of their preorders.

Did anybody order an Utapau Clone mini bust from Brian's Toys?

As it was mentioned, Brian's Toys took a bunch of orders for the orange clone bust and then when the clones came in, they suddenly told most people that they didn't get enough orange clones to fill their pre-orders. Most people think that due to Brian's Toys "questionable" practices, that they didn't want to let them go for the low price (compared to their current eBay prices) so they made this up to later sell at a price closer to the current eBay prices.

To these people whose order "they were not able to fill", they sent them a FREE white E3 Clone bust.

We are doing an informal poll across all major SW collecting sited to determine if "anybody" at all ever got an orange/Utapau Clone bust from them. It is the general consensus that Brian's Toys didn't actually ship any orange at all to any customers that ordered it. Please reply if you ordered an Utapau Clone bust from Brian's Toys with your outcome

Dengar was shown at SDCC, but I don't think that piece is up for pre-order yet.  The only as yet to be mentioned Bounty Hunter from the Executor after that is 4-LOM.

I would definately be in for a re-done boba. I'm not sure I'll get zuckuss or dengar without another Fett in the works.

Really looking forward to Grievous, Maul, and the new Jango. It's good to see some characters revisited and given arms! I'd like to see a better Mace down the road, even though I mostly just collect Imperial related items these days.

A classic Lando would make the cut for me! The Jabba one doesn't thrill me and is collect dust at my LCS...  :-\

Well. that's it. I've been bitten by the GG bug. I broke down and bought the ESB Yoda bust on clearance from Amazon. Got #4000 of 15,000 and I am HIGHLY impressed with these. This is not good.   :P

Edition size for Plo Koon bust is 4500.  I'm surprised it's that high.
