Was able to order a Obi Wan Clone Armor bust from Northside Collectibles. I should have it by Friday.

I got this last night. I'm happy with it. I know a lot of people were getting these with half painted beards, so I'm fine with this one.

I got mine on Friday. While I know alot of people weren't too happy with this I'm happy with this one. It's probably the closest I'm gonna get to a ROTS Obi Wan bust.

For those who don't check Rebelscum out and don't want to renew their membership in the PGM you need to log into your account and turn off the Auto-renewal option that GG decided to pop up.  Also if you do decide to renew your "free" gift will cost you Shipping and handling.

I'm not going to change it, but where is that option? I've looked all through GG's site and I didn't see it.

When you go into the "My Account" page, it should be the first thing you see.  If it's not there click on the "home" button and that should get the auto renewal page.  If you wanted to opt out that button is on the right hand side of where the current status of the "auto renew" feature is.

That's what I thought, but this is all I see when I log in.

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

Ok got my busts this afternoon
Lets start with the Admiral, great sculpt, its a perfect likeness of him and looks fantastic, paintwork on mine was top notch too, but and there generally seems to be a but, it seems for most of the aussie guys that got this so far , the lower arm is too long for the base and extends approx 2-3mm lower so it needs a stand or you have it resting on the fingers and they do look fragile.
Here's the pics, this it the long finger shot I was talking about.

Here is how mne is



Tusken pics a coming....

Ok now this is probably my fav bust around, It's a big call but its a deserving bust, the way you change this guys pose is simply brilliant and was a good way to get ppl to get a second,I know I will be.
The whole thing is held together with magnets


The detail in the face is great

And the two poses work really well, I think the only thing that could have made it better would have been the outer robe, but hey its pretty dam good
