I will say this though. As far as collecting SW product goes this is far and away my favorite line. The price, quality and sheer variety is unmatched. Paying $70-$80 for a MB of an obscure character is much more appealing than paying upwards of $200+ for a FS statue. And unlike full size statues you don't need a ridiculous amount of space to display these. You can generally fit 24 MBs comfortably into a single Ikea Detolf.
Thanks Scott! I am tempted, and you do make good points for getting into the line, but I think I'll have to see what some of the expensive pieces are. Because if some of the main ones I want are too cost prohibitive I may not want to jump in.

GG does make some very nice busts though!

The SW Universe is full of so many great character designs. I don't see this as "scraping for characters" so much as keeping their mini bust line viable, fresh and most of all diverse.

Looks very good and I'll get it, but there are at least 20 characters I'd put in front of this guy. Oh well. I'm really hoping ComiCon reveals some of my wants.

I don't collect busts, but GG has the best Star Wars busts on the market. It's so great that they do the obscure characters too.

Here`s a idea of the Bust and Statues.
It`s all in one of my guestrooms!
And me too like to have a whole lot of other caracters,but just wait for the best of it.
For marketing,they have to think on the old and new generations,and the new generations likes the cartoons,comics,computergames.
Me i`m grow old with the movies..but through the variation of bust,i learned the know the different caracters i never knew before.
And some are just so beautyfull i just got to have it.

If we are talking about value,sometimes you get lucky,someone stops with his colllection.
Through out the years alot of things can happen.
You can have the best bust for the lowes price.
But the price will always be high,when it`s new. Especaly the exclusive ones.
I never felt rush,i buy it,cause i like the collection,that i hope i can enjoy for as long as possible.
Sometimes i found one for that low price(like the black stromtrooper)i just took it.
We have a selling site like ebay,but it`s more national.
So the serie gets more and more complete....
