Thanks Dale...
Is this a common problem with Gentle Giant Mini Busts?
I'd think that people would charge more if they were trying to rip people off.

They look the same - is there something I'm missing or is this guy selling these way too cheap?

Hey Guys,
What's the deal with this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-STAR-WARS-DARTH-VADER-17CM-BUST-FIGURE-RARE_W0QQitemZ110094892211QQihZ001QQcategoryZ83719QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Is that the first darth vader or is it some knock off?
He doesn't say Gentle Giant and I don't know if that's because this is some rip off or because it's lost in translation.

Great call on Froogle.... I looked there and I looked in Yahoo's shopping thing and I just found Grand Moff Tarkin for $35 shipped.
My shopping spree is winding down, but I'm still looking for good deals on Threepio, Greedo, Bossk, Biker Scout, Stormtrooper, and Sandtrooper (orange).
And I just worked out a trade for the Gamorrean Guard.

Yep - I didn't bother looking too closely because I had neither, wanted a vader, and was happy enough winning it for 29 plus shipping, regardless of which one it was.

Looks like you're right - must be saber version. I only saw the picture of the boxed item and the hand is up like that but with nothing in it. Looking at it again it seems like it's not even the same hand.
My bad.
My bad.

Thanks Brent, good to know.
If you're interested - I bought those two from this site: http://www.scifigenre.com/
They're running free shipping on orders over $70.00 - but as I type this I remembered that it might not apply to international orders. They've got some decent prices nonetheless.
Leia and Lando I haven't been following, but geez, you're getting them shipped for about what the cheapest places have them for as pre-sales before shipping is added, so I don't think you can complain about that. Nick might do better with his comic shop but I can't

Well I finished up my spending spree for now I think (since most of the tax return went into savings, I treated myself to a handful of these).
Since I'm relatively new to this... let me know how I did. Up to this point I'd bought X-Wing Luke for $12 and IG-88 for $17, but those were special deals at a Suncoast clearance. Watching auctions on eBay for about a week and a half, I'm guessing I did close to as well as I could have hoped for on these - but I don't really know.
Darth Vader (Clenched Hand Version) - $37.00 shipped
Darth Maul - $42 shipped
Boushh Leia - $37.50 shipped
Skiff Guard Lando - $42.50 shipped
Han Solo and Yoda (ESB) - $55 and change for the pair, shipped
About $215 for 6 busts - about $30 of which was for shipping on 4 of them (2 had free shipping).

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: TOYS R US buy 1 get 1 free sale 2/18 and 2/19!
« on: February 20, 2007, 11:51 PM »Rob, I think you could have only gotten the BOGO deal on the repainted midsize vehicles at brick and mortar TRUs. I checked online early Sunday morning and the only midsize vehicles they had online were the non-exclusive ROTS JSFs. They also had the large wing TIE, Clone Wars gunship, and Dagobah X-Wing. There were no Saesee Tiin's, Darth Vader Sith JSFs, or Hailfire and Droid Tank... So you probably didn't miss out on those online unless they became available later.
Ah, well nothing lost then. Although I did pass on the Clone Wars Gunship and might have picked it up if there was something else that I could have found to make it worthwhile.
But you could have definately gotten those last 2 TINs that you wanted. They were all in stock when I ordered.
Argh!

We had what, 7 teams last year?
It'd be cool to have at least 8 - preferably 10 this year.

I didn't connect those dots either Jesse... despite going halves on Banthas with Paul, it didn't occur to me that this would be a perfect opportunity to try to get deals on the repainted vehicles that I've been passing on - Hailfire... Droid Tank... Vader's Starfighter etc...
