Typical of FedEx, but I hate them less than UPS. I've had things miss delivery on overnight packages, where the driver simply never bothered to show up because he was running late on his route, and marked the package as "recipient not home" so he could redeliver the next day. They suck more the FedEx.

My IG-88 bust is ready for pickup from EE tomorrow.  :) So glad I'm limiting myself to bounty hunters on this line. I'd lose my sanity.

Oh no, don't say that.  My bust-ups are coming by UPS from AFX.  I can't imagine hating a courier more than FedEx, so we'll see.   :-\

This would be precisely why it's ok for Gentle Giant to make another Vader Bust.  Oh sure, it might drop the price of the original, but it might not.

One of those gold and silver Sandtroopers went for $1550US on eBay - A steal of a deal!   :(

Looks like Mike at GH dug up the scoop on the upcoming GG busts, including a ROTS Vader, Han (ANH, presumably), and Yoda from ESB, along with a couple different Sandtroopers.  All excellent choices.  Good job GG.  Can't wait!   8)

Nice.  Need Han to have arms, that isn't clear though.  Will be picking up the OT stuff.  Wondering if I should grab a 3PO now though :-\

Well I have great news today, my Han Stormtrooper bust has finally arrived! 

I not sure if it was the same one that was originally sent, could be another one. The number is 2691 and I ordered mine very early. Still, I'm just happy it arrived.  :)

It was shipped on Feb 17th and according the the tracking it moved at a steady pace and it was not sitting long waiting to be cleared.

That ends that nightmare.

Well sure, they knew some crazed SW fan was waiting at the other end!

Congrats on finally receiving it.  Any pictures yet of Han next to Luke?  They should be a nice set.

Very cool!! 8)
Now I wish I would have gotten this one.  Is it really that white??  I don't know too much more about this so I have to ask if the helmet goes on his head or is it molded to his arm??

Even using an extra light for the picture, the paint is white, very glossy. The helmet is a separate piece so you could put it on his head but I have not tried it out yet, may scratch the paint.

Oh.  I guess that would suck if you scratched his nose in the process of removing the helmet.  Oh well, looks better off anyways which leads me to one more question.  Which one do you think is the best one GG has done to date out of all the ones you own?
