I think we did decide that I'm first in line for your spare that you pick up, however ;D

You think your charm is going to work on him like some loose floozy C3 volunteer?   :P

That poor, poor press pass lady. :-\

what's the status of a potential Comic-Con exclusive?  Anything announced, or is it gonna be another (or the same) Sandtrooper?  Can't recall anymore, though I'd be very surprised if GG didn't have something exclusive in San Diego this summer.

I feel a disturbance in the Force. :P  I feel it's going to be something really great/sought after.  We're overdue for a Clone Trooper mini bust. ;D  We all know what happened at SDCC '03 right? :-\

If it's not a Clone, I wouldn't mind a Darth Sidious or new Anakin. :)

There was an e-mail sent out which I received from GG on May 24th.

Star Wars Celebration III Exclusive Sandtrooper Corporal mini bust
As many of you have been wondering, we did hold back a quantity of our CIII exclusive mini bust for members of our Collector's Club to purchase. Those who were unable to purchase this exclusive at the show, now have the opportunity to do so. This link ******  - will go live Wednesday, June 1, 2005 at 9:00am pacific.

Please note:
Limited to one order, per person
Restricted to members of our Collector's Club only
Only available for shipping in U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico
 
We ask that you please do not post this link anywhere.  This is specifically just for members of our Collector's Club.  When we went live with our Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise mini bust, the overwhelming traffic coming from several unique IP addresses is what ultimately crashed everything.  We have since taken preventative measures from this happening again.

Amen to that.  

I made it to the checkout page and then our server went down :'( for 14 minutes.  Couldn't get the checkout page to reload.  Grrr.

Oh, I can't anymore either, so hopefully there's some solace in that for you.  That's what makes it painful.  I'd taken that first critical step and then the connection here crapped out, not on GG.   :-\

I'm not all that hopeful to be honest, but we'll see what happens.  I wonder if anyone posted the links on any sites?  I'm guessing the answer is yes.
