I don't think I would buy anything from them just based on principal.

OMFG. I just realized that they are an AD and in fact this is a wizard exclusive.
So let me get this straight ... they have made arrangements with GG to have an exclusive mini-bust made for them, and then have hand-picked out the first 5 and are charging a premium for them. Was this part of the contract with GG ???
2000 mini-busts at $60 each sums to $120 000. I guess they don't expect to sell them all because they are risking the bad reputation of being scalpers/gougers for an grand total of $1125 extra (0.93 % of the total revenue potential), that is if the first 5 sell for their requested premium.
I have never complained about GG before because I am simply just sick of listening to everybody complain and continue to purchase their product. I am sure everybody is aware that the problem is that the majority of consumers doesn't stand up and realize that they do have a voice with their spending dollar and there is not much that needs to be said reagarding that. This issue may have more to do with with Wizard than GG but GG have to have some accountability for the actions of their ADs with regards to their product.
... here it is in a nutshell ...
BUYING ONE OF THESE AND SUPPORTING A DEALER WHO IS ATTEMPTING THIS IS JUST PLAIN &;?%#!.
This kind of stuff can only have a negative impact on the collecting community. No matter how desperately I want a Obi-Wan night light, I would not buy one of these for 5 bucks and I hope nobody else will.
Anybody on these forums who actually buys one of these, please don't be offended by my comments, its just another opinion.

well said.
these actions speak tons of the lack of integrity and credibility of the company who makes the products themselves.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
