Gentle Giant Bust Ups!

[Morgbug]

So just one of my spare boxes with the blue dude in the window for cost?  That cool? ($20 + shipping)

Jesse, were you a complete doofus and did not order the set of Ice Bust-ups direct from Gentle Giant?  You can't be serious?

As for other spares, I have another identical box of battle damaged and I also have the following singles:

Orange w/blaster $6
Grey w/blaster $6
Blue w/rifle $6

Also have a box of three stormtroopers $15

It also appears that the battle damaged clones are sold out at SWS.com, I could find only the clean versions there.

Guilty as charged.  The comic shop I got my first few was planning on ordering in more and I thought I'd luck out with him.  Alas, no luck.

Anyway, I've got a few extra regular Bust-Ups if anyone is interested in trading.

Looks like we can all stop guessing as to where the  Vader w/ flames chase is going to pop up. It turned out to be the 2006 Toy Fair exclusive. This is coming from the other site.

Thanks for the link.  Ebay, ebay, it's off to ebay I must go, I must go, I must go....

Regarding the coverage, why oh why does GG have to keep putting out those dang colored (AOTC) clones that they haven't released. 

Also a bit fascinated by the picture of the holo Kenobi

Nice to see the Luke/Han stormtrooper bustups. 

Clone wars stuff rocks too, especially for the poor folk

Perhaps its the SDCC '06 exclusive?

Definitely my favoutie new Bust-Ups, I love the CW Yoda!

Definitely some nice surprises out of the bust ups display this weekend.  I haven't gotten a chance to go through all of the pictures yet, but from what I've seen, they look nice.  I was convinced I'd have to give up this line, or at least become much more limited, but it is continuing to be tempting with stuff like those Luke/Han Stormtrooper bust ups.  I might just have to be choosy .  The clone wars stuff looks great as well.

I suppose I might as well jump on the bandwagon of trading in regular threads.

Yeah, I went into 2006 pretty sure the bust up line was going to low priority in my collection. But it is hard to resist good prducts at reasonable prices. As a bonus, they take up less space than many other items as well. The line-up looks very good this year indeed, but I will have to resist the urge to get the mini-busts. They take up too much room to display!

The Bounty Hunter Bust-Ups set is official - it's up for preorder at SWS.com for $29.99.

Or if you prefer BBTS, they have it for $27.99.

This is a tough call for me because I only want 3 out of the 7 Bust-Ups. 

[Morgbug]

Tough my ass, whose not going to get it and be without the IG-88?  Nobody, that's who.  This is very toybiz/marvel legends-ish though - releasing the figures initially then re-releasing them with slight modifications and only one or two new figures in the box set.  Been there, done that, not impressed

[JediFirefly]

I got a huge deal on Bustups A few weeks ago. There is a SamGoody going out of business near me and they had several busts ups from series 1, 2, & 3. The sign said they were only 30% off so I only grabbed a few thinking that they would be around $4. However when I checked out they came up at $1.31 each so I then went back and wound up buying 21 of them and even with the blind packaging I managed not to get any duplicates.

[starwax137]

Holy crap! That's one heck of a deal. I wish I'd get that lucky with these things.

This makes me glad I resisted the urge initially to pick up this wave.  As a box set with Vader?  Yeah, I think I'll be doing that.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I know what you mean. 

I have stayed away from these bust-ups, but that box set is very tempting.  You get all 6 BHers and then Vader on top of it.  I think I will resist because I know that if I pick up this set, I'd be tracking down all the rest in no time...
