It's such a relief to be done with this line. It's too stressful trying to keep up with all these.

Although once again, the bust looks nice.

 

[BadMoon]

Gotta love GG and the way they screw with their fans. I am happy to say I haven't purchased anything by them since September of last year. That is how I display my distaste for their evil ways.

 

[Rogue Trooper]

I got the Bly last year and there aint no way in hell that im going through that again.

 

[tomandshell]

I got all five, and still gave it all up for the sake of my sanity.

Seeing this and being a few people in line away from getting a Pan's Labyrinth bust, plus news of more exclusives to come, just continue to make me feel good about stepping away from them.

Any animated Pirates/Star Wars maquettes or HP busts that they put out I will consider, but since that seems to be low on their list of priorities I think I'm safe.

 

[Michael Crawford]

Until last year, I had a complete collection of Star Wars mini-busts. Then the ridiculous exclusives hit, and I missed a couple. Now, I have no real need to pick them up, and I think I might be selling off the whole lot later this year. The 'institute' is almost finished, and once it is I'll be going through ALL my stuff and unboxing it, deciding what gets reboxed and stored, what goes on display, and what goes on sale. The GG SW busts are looking more and more likely to be in the third category.

What is wrong with GG?

My favorite quote from GG this year:

You know what, you can argue all you want, but it won't change anything.

(After standing in line a half hour at SDCC to pick up my prepaid items only to be told that I couldn't have them.)

 

[Darth Waller]

GG needs to get knocked down a few notches. They seriously sound like they have zero customer service.

 

[lcummins]

I am so glad I just gave up on them last year! At the rate they are going, they will be out of business in 3 to 5 years...

 

[tomandshell]

You give them some credit. I say 1 or 2.

Is this a serious question or are you trying to be funny? I can't tell with the I will answer the question if you are. In detail too I might add.

 

[DVDVampire]

GG get no more of my money.

Sorry, just being facetious. I know enough about GG to stay away from their SW bust tactics.

I thought so. I just wanted to be sure before I gave you my GG rant.

 

[Darth Waller]

I'd be glad to hear it anyway. It never ceases to amaze me how a collectible company can do business like they do.

 

[Darth Rage]

You've got to be frakkin kidding me. They make this an exclusive now? Gentle Giant really really really sucks @ss.

 

[Smudger9]

Looks great, just like the airbourne trooper. Cant wait til SS starts giving us a load of different clones. Good times ahead.

 

[Blackhole]

Wow, maybe I'll get this one...

I got Bly...I love him so...

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Did you stand in line when they did Bly? I did and it took me 2 hours to get that freaking thing in the summer without a freaking drink and 2 frenchmen behind me chatting away in there crazy lingo.

This is going to be in October, its going to be dark, cold, standing inline in stabbie happy London. Aint no way im doing that, what i am going to do is on Friday in my house on the computer get myself an exlcusive Vader and Stormie from the world best collectaible company.
