Gentle Giant Comic con pre-order exclusive...

[The Josh]

Yeah. It's such a low number just sell them first come first serve at Comic-con.

That or do like SS does and save a certain % for NA and then just PO the rest for those going. I mean if I'm not one of the 75 I gotta make sure I'm in line by 2pm Thursday,Friday, or Saturday to get one. That makes more trouble than their worth.

 

[Darklord Dave]

So they aren't sending an email out with the time of the PO, until the day OF the pre-order? This is going to be hell...

But just showing up and getting in line doesn't work, so let's try this. Argh.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, from what I understand Dave that's exactly how they're doing it. It's not gonna be easy to get Luna, Glorfindel, or the Yoda Maquette. All of which I'm trying to get.

I just don't see what GG sees in these ultra-limited exclusives. The only explanation I see is they only sell HALF of them and sell the other half on eBay for $$$ more. I don't see any other explanation unless they just get their kicks by seeing angry collectors

Here's a very good reason. Look at how many people HATE GG, but look at how many of those very same people still go ahead and BUY GG.

I know!

I for one refuse to buy any of their stuff. I get the completist bug so easily with any line, and with GG I know I can't be one.

 

[Wetanut]

I will only say this about GG at this point.....
They are out of their MUCKING FINDS!!!!!!

 

[The Josh]

Yes, they are!!

 

[TOE]

According to GG, only portion of the total edition size will be up for pre-order. Meaning, those edition size are not the total amount.

 

[Fritz]

Well so much for preordering Glorfindel. I'm outta town on vacation next week.

Exactly Dave. And it will most likely be during work hours. Last year, they caught most of us by surprise. I'm STILL waiting on my e-mail from them for their Lucius Deatheater exclusive. Bastiges!!!!!

 

[Karma]

i think some people think 75 is the total edition size.........it isn't

the edition size is 500

probably another 350 available at sdcc

and 75 for raffle

 

[The Josh]

I'm sure but 75 for PO that's a joke.

 

[Karma]

I'm sure but 75 for PO that's a joke.

depends....i mean he isn't a movie character & TBH is for completists really

.....and flippers. This piece will be flipper paradise since the edition is gonna be so small as it is. Collectors who only purchase for themselves will prolly be frozen out. And as for the 350 potentially left over to sell on a walk-up basis....divide by 4 days = 70 pieces per day. Those will go in 15 minutes. WAIT! Change that to 2 hours....1 hour and 57 minutes waiting in line so that you can be told there's no more left for the day.

[Agent23]

I'm hoping I can get Glorfindel. The rest of the stuff is a pass for me. The GG LotR bust line was a line I was aiming at completing the series.

I'm not going to SDCC myself, but, a friend of mine is and is going to try to get me Glorfindel.

We'll see what happens. I'm crossing my fingers, but, I ain't holding my breath.

 

[Darklord Dave]

15 minutes? I doubt it. Lucius was gone within 5 mins. each day.

 

[The Josh]

I figure I'm gonna have to buy it off some shop at the show.

 

[TOE]

Most likely Josh. Those guys get first dibs on everything.

 

[The Josh]

Yup, they do that for sure.
