Taun Taun, Maul, or Lando value wise?

I'm curious which one of these 3 will sell the quickest. All 3 of them looks great, which one do you guys think will go up in value? My guess would be the Taun Taun. Darth Maul has been made before so I doubt collectors would get two of the same character. Lando looks good too but I'm not a fan of the bust. Depending on how many GG will produce I think Taun Taun wins this race. Thoughts?

None of these will go up in value unless GG changes their new policy of creating huge ES's. I'm not preordering until I know the ES.

Seriously, most GG stuff doesn't really appreciate that much. Only a handful of busts, the Padme maquette, and the Dewback are really worth a lot.

Do not buy these for investments. Waste of money.

Wait and get them cheap on ebay, once they ship.

The ES will probably be 1,000,000 on each so you should be able to find them cheap for a very long time!

it's all going to depend on the numbers of each piece although ,with that thought process you would think that the boba fett bust would be worthless. So I guess sometimes it's hard to tell.

Hey, I'm waiting for the production # as well. I don't think none of these will go up in value if they make tons of it, meaning if they make over 4000+. If the production run on the Tuan is less than 3000 I think it will go up in value. Still kicking myself for missing out on the Dewback specially since they only made 1500!

By the way, after taking a closer look at the Tuan picture again Luke doesn't even look like Luke at all. He looks more like a GI Joe riding on a Tuan, lol. I still love the way the animal looks though.
