Does anyone know when the Bacara bust will go up for preorder? I might be near Baltimore the first week of Sept, and would pay to go to the show to get a bust at cost.

I don't know the exact date but you can pretty much bet that it'll be up for preorder exactly 2 weeks before the show.

How'd you get a Bly?  I thought Bly was later on?

We've had:

Gree: C-IV
Neyo: Japan
Cody: SDCC

Isn't Bly the European exclusive, or did that event already come and go?

Bly was part of the Forbidden Planet exclusive deal.  The event happened a week or so before Celebration Europe.

I got Bly through a trade.

Thanks guys, I didn't realize the event already came and went.   :-[

Bly I'd very much like to get.  I think Neyo is beyond the realm of possibility at this point, mostly because I'm too cheap.  Bacara is possible still, obviously.  At least Neyo/Bacara were the two busts I least wanted, or that's what I tell myself.

I've stayed strong and stayed away from the Prequel busts, well except for Maul and QuiGon but yeah no prequel busts has proven to be one of my better decisions.

Wise choice, especially avoiding all the clones.  Even at retail we've seen what?  6 AOTC clone busts (blue, red, yellow, white, green, pilot), 5 ROTS clone commanders, 5 ROTS clones (AFX grey, white, Utapau, 501st, Shock).  Plus all the other stuff. 

Speaking of which, anyone need a cheap ROTS white clone bust, I have a spare.

I actually went on eBay and picked up an extra White Clone the day that announcement was made... I figure the prices for him will jump a little bit once that accessory pack is out.

As for the Bly - I'm certainly entering the raffle... theoretically I have one on the way and it should be here within a week.

BBTS had a really sweet deal on the white ROTS Clones until recently.  I think they were selling them for as little as $30 each.  That was definitely a nice way to get a ROTS Clone that you could equip with the aftermarket accessories.

I'm sure if you do some digging around in the C4 threads you will see pics of it, I think it was just another arm/hemlet and pauldren to convert it, rumour had the pack at around $20
