Could one of these could be for Celebration Europe?

From what I have heard Gentle Giant isn't going to be at Cele. Europe, so I doubt there will be a gentle giant exclusive there. 

Closest thing to it would be the Bly at Forbidden Plant but that sounds like it may go on sale online maybe/hopefully.  I need to sign up to get their news letter and see if helps in getting Bly.

Thanks Tom,
so then the actual available edition sizes are down by 500 each for the commanders.  Ouch.  Guess I better win the raffle on those :-X


Are they raffling off 500 of each individual bust after each convention and THEN having the 5-pack, or are they only doing the 5 pack?

If it's the first way, there might be a full 1,000 fewer than the edition sizes at each convention.

Not good.  Especially with the edition size of Commander Neyo.  That one is in blue Clone Trooper territory as far as the edition size goes.

What I'm wondering is how many of the Codys and Grees might go on sale after the 5-packs ship.  The secondary market could wind up flooded with those, and they may have little or no trade value relative to the other Clone Commanders with smaller runs.

But I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I'll have a shot at two of the mini-busts as a convention attendee.  I'll at least be able to make it to C4 for Commander Gree and the Baltimore Comic Con for Commander Bacara.

Hey Nick, no problem if they're spoken for, but now I'm looking for someone who will be at the Baltimore Con - if you have an extra Bacarra, I'll take it off your hands. :)

He certainly swooped in there, didn't he Brent?  ;D

After reading through the conditions on the GG blog, I don't know if I'm going to be able to score more than the one.  And I'm going to be working like a fiend to make sure that I can secure the attendee pre-order.  I don't want to have to be on line at a con that's over 3 hours away first thing in the morning.

I do like that they're offering a few different avenues for each of these Clone Commanders though.  Think about the options:

-Attendee pre-order
-Attendee first come, first served
-Premier Guild member raffle
-Clone Commander 5-pack

This makes things a lot easier than they were at C3 in 2005.

I thought twice before asking, but I figured it wouldn't hurt. :)

No big deal either way - I'm not terribly worried about finding the US ones - it's just those damn international ones that are going to suck for anyone who doesn't win the raffle.   :-\

Gentle Giant is happy to finally announce the Baltimore Comic-Con in Baltimore, Maryland, as the location of the 5th show for the Gentle Giant World Tour. With our ever expanding collector base we felt we couldn’t forget those on the east coast and are excited to have the opportunity to have Baltimore as our final stop around the globe. You may be wondering “Why Baltimore?” well we’ve added one additional way to add Commander Bacara to your collection…Read On…

Here is the final list of the World Tour with dates, location:

For interested retailers please contact Baltimore Comic-Con for more information.


We feel the above combined methods give collectors the best and most opportunities to purchase the exclusives of their choice. But as a last chance opportunity, we are excited to offer up a Clone Commander 5-pack to the Gentle Giant Premiere Guild. We are making only 500 of these 5-packs and they will be available only through our website via the Raffle Purchase process in November. Each of the Commanders in the pack will be matching edition numbers.

 

As we first announced, along with the Clone Commanders we will also have two pieces that will travel the world as our World Tour Exclusives:

Star Wars Animated Yoda and R2-D2 Maquette

Star Wars Bust-Ups Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise 2-pack

I managed to secure a AFX Clone bust this week.  THj on Rebelscum was canceling his order and I managed to get in touch with him fast enough to have him just change the mailing address to mine.  So I'll get it for cost.

Whoo hoo.

For anyone on the fence about the Luke Jedi mini bust.
