Two C3PO busts from June, with an edition size of 8000. Now you might ask yourself... why is he using C3PO... Well because he is a major character that is in all 6 movies... He is a getting a variant for some stupid reason.. and this proves my point that when you over produce these are the results you get:

Gentle Giant C-3PO "Star Wars": mini-bust 6538702703 $13.50
Gentle Giant C-3PO "Star Wars": mini-bust 6540904637 $22.50


Enjoy,

Well, this is an interesting development.
I have both Vader 1 and Yoda 1 already which I got for retail when they were first released.
When GG announced Vader 2 and Yoda 2, I was pissed because I would rather have new characters. So I wasn't going to buy them.

Now, at $25 bucks each (which is what they will be), I probably pick up a copy.

So, the joke's on me.
Or is it on GG?
Or is it on ______ ?

On eBay I've seen pre-orders for busts by Gentle Giant in collaboration with Diamond Select that only cost $24.95 Buy-It-Now. What does that tell me? It tells me that retailers don't pay much for these busts. So...it's not that big of a deal if Vader goes for somewhat less than suggested retail, especially if the retailers move a greater quantity of busts when compared to other characters.

Don't you mean, "Yous miyt as well changes your call sine to "Tiepo-Corektour".

Regarding the price drops on some GG's bust's, I remember many that could be had for under $25 at one time, and now they fetch a much higher price. The Obi-Wan bust comes to mind. Lower prices are to be expected when the market is flooded.

So what if some people like lower edition sizes? Sheesh, they stated the reason why they dont like it.
Im not reading anybody saying "your buying this with a edition size of 20,000 what a tool"
I think its a mistake it being that big (but I also like lower sizes) but Im going to pick it up cheap at some point so I guess thats good right?

And I'll be able to find these at Suncoast and other places for way cheap and be able to at the same time pick one that has a good paint job. With that many there will most likely be paint issues.

Hell if I ever decide I dont want it, it can make a nice paper weight or target practice with.
The flood for Vader and Yoda will last longer than any other flood, o well.

O sarg the Stewi pics were more because I was bored

I sure do. That was one reason I stopped collecting the GG busts. The numbers were going up too much, and there were too many exclusives to hunt down. These reasons over shadowed my desire to have the product, so I moved on.
