WTF GG with your Star Wars mini-busts

I've been seeing the Princess Leia slave girl and now the Lando cloud city mini-busts and I can't believe they are releasing this crap. The luke and Han Hoth MB's are ok but could have been better.

From what I've seen of the Harry Potter mini-busts they look a lot better than the SW mini-busts. I'm tired of pre-ordering these and getting crap. I don't have the option of cancelling

Has to do with the guy I'm ordering from. Not really a LCS but someone who has a account with Diamond.

Ah. That's pretty lame. A friend from the forum maybe? Is it worth it to save a few bucks?

I wouldn't pre-order then. It isn't like their busts are hard to get.

You need look no further than the Luke Bespin statue to see what GG is putting out now and what they'll accept. The quality has just dramatically taken a spill. It's really frustrating.

Lando & Slave Leia are horrible from every pic I've seen. I agree nbr.

My Leia will be here next week and I'll finally see 1 in person. Will either keep it and tuck it in a display corner or it'll be the 1st Star Wars bust I get rid of. Thankfully I passed on Lando from the getgo.

Nbr I order my stuff through a friend with a Diamond account too! Just so you know, items that are running late (usually most statues and busts lol) are cancelable.

The question now that they have the Marvel license is will they show us a piece in May that won't drop until March of next year ? If you have it available for pre-order I shouldn't wait 10 months for it. Its absurd !! LK7

Remember when these guys were traveling the world, convention to convention, arriving in limousines and throwing down like rock stars, or visiting foreign dignitaries. They had security people running around telling people not to take pictures of their product at shows. Making you feel like you were trying to photograph top secret military technology. A never ending line of difficult or impossible to get exclusive after exclusive. Treating the collectors like crap, and providing some of the worst customer service imaginable. Hmmmmm guess that kinda didn't work out so well.
