Looks like the posibility of another exclusive:

translate please

Translation: Please to note that new chrome sandtrooper bust from Gentle Giant will be available only to certain ebay sellers.  They will subsequently charge you your left nut to obtain this item.  If left nut not available, right nut will suffice. 

I saw on rebelscum these are being sold online at the forbidden planet website.  Anyone thinking of ordering one now or are we all pretty sure these will make their way to some U.S. retailer? 

Looks like they'll be about $70.00 + shipping from forbidden planet...althought there's a chance they'll be 17.5% cheaper if they subtract the british VAT tax...which would make them not too much more expensive as the busts over here...

I'm not a completist with this line, but something about this one is grabbin' me and I don't want to miss out...

Wow!

Thanks to my secret santa as well!  I was out of town for the holidays, and just got in today to find a box o' goodies on my doorstep!  Thanks so much for the army builders (including the HTF Scanning Trooper!), galactic hero stormie set and -- my very first kubrick! 

I really, really appreciate it.  I'm not sure who you are, but you really went above and beyond.  Thanks a lot and Merry (belated) Christmas!

THEY'VE DONE IT AGAIN!

I got my Episode 3 teaser poster.  It has rips and tears and crinkles all up and down one side.

I complained.  They sent me another.

I just got it.  EVEN MORE rips and tears all up and down one side.

I just don't get it.  WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!?!?!?

Anyone have any suggestions?

I gotta say, these guys are a real class act.

I came home yesterday to find a package from them on my doorstep -- filled with the Post-OTC CORUSCANT wave!  Pablo-Jill, the Wookie Senator, and Sly Moore!  All MOMC.

Here's the crazy thing -- I didn't order them.  There was a letter in the box, explaining that they were a gift.  They sent them for FREE as a "Thank You" gift to some of their most frequent customers marking their 1-Year Anniversary of being in business.  They said those figures won't be up on the site for a few weeks...

Can you get a load of that?  What an incredibly classy and cool thing to do, eh?  It again proves why, in my opinion, they are the best online toy shop to deal with. I know some people had some problems with them early on, but I have pretty much ordered ONLY from them since they opened and they haven't let me down yet.

Keep the great work, OMGCNFO.com. And I highly, highly encourage people who are looking to buy figures online to give them a shot.

Well, I received my two "replacement" Silver Sandtroopers today...and they are just as bent as the original ones I received.  

These were packed better -- those air cushion things -- and in a bigger box, but still no bubble wrap.  All the corners were folded and creased.  I'm not even 100% sure the damage happened in shipping...I think they may have just sent me damaged figures to start with.  

I guess these guys really don't want to keep me as a customer.  I think I have no choice but to just ask for a refund and head to ebay.

Well, I'm pretty amazed, but I ordered 2 Silver Sandtroopers yesterday, and they arrived this morning via Fedex! Only problem -- the cards are DESTROYED.

They used NO packing materials -- just threw the two figures in a cardboard box, and from the looks of them, they had to BEND THE CARDS to get them in. I'm e-mailing right now for a refund or exchange.

Ridiculous.
