I just placed an order, but I have a feeling that I'm about to get a phone call saying that these were on their website by error just like the Finar Comics thing, but this site seems to be accepting orders for lots of the older busts at original prices:

http://www.nostalgia50splus.com/catalog_c252702.html

This looks like another too-good-to-be-true scenario:

Biker Scout 45$
Greedo 45$
Boba Fett 50$
First Vader 50$
Dooku 45$
E2 Yoda 45$
etc...

They've also got Anakin, Obi-Wan, Zam, Stormtrooper, Bossk, Tarkin, Gamorrean Guard, and a slew of others listed for similar prices.

Thoughts?



I figured I'd post it just incase it is legit - even though it almost certainly isn't.

I'm about 5 or 6 minutes away - on foot!

I can't fathom commuting a long distance to work.  Maybe if I live somewhere with a subway or something that I could ride so I could at least read a book and not get stuck in traffic while I travel.

There's very few things I hate more than sitting in slow traffic... burning gas and going no where.   >:(

Anyone got any silver UGH holograms laying around?  I'm trying to assemble a loose set.

PM me!

Severe wind warnings in Dallas today - we're having a bit of a dust storm it seems.  It looks like Afghanistan outside.

I'm going to go with this one:

The time I was driving from Lakeland to Tampa and drove up on a recent accident scene - two people, one completely crushed, the other decapitated (if it's still considered decapitation when one of the arms and shoulders was severed off with the head) - the motorcycle 80 yards down the road.  One head still in a helmet that had rolled a ways down as well.

No one in our van said another word the last 30 minutes to Clearwater.

I just ran across this thread... missed the news while I was out of town.

I hope Rage gets back together - I never got a chance to see them live and when I heard about Cochella, I thought about trying to make it out - but it just isn't happening this year.

No doubt the Chewie is great.

I just ordered myself a Tarkin finally - him and Greedo are probably the two I'm the most excited about getting at the moment.

If I can just find a Greedo for a reasonable price that is.   :P

For the Tarkin?  It was Finar Comics (www.finarcomics.com).

The guy was apologetic in his email and offered me some discounts on comics trying to get my business... he seems legit.

I already emailed him - we'll see what he says, but now I sort of have the answer to the question and he won't be getting a dime from me.

Thanks for the replies everyone....  Are there any other notorious knockoffs in this line?



In other news, my Grand Moff Tarkin order ($35 shipped) was cancelled... turns out the 'in stock' status on the website I ordered it from was a mistake.  Shame.

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.
