Man, it's really a shame that GG seemed to drop the ball a few years back when it came to getting product out on a regular, consistent basis (not to mention their making WAY too many pieces WAY to hard to get...). Between all of the companies producing stuff, I thought their quality was the best. The Star Wars license has so many characters, if they didn't get greedy/lazy, they could have kept collectors on board forever.

I agree with all your points G. They totally shot themselves in the foot and even though I stuck with them many collectors did not and I completely understand why. Bottom line is the company was not run well and many collectors as well as a lot of good people who worked there suffered. I'm used to the production delays at this point and I'm of the mindset that it gets here when it gets here. I still feel that overall they release some of the best quality Star Wars product on the market and thats why I continue to collect the pieces that appeal to me.

Got my Lando bust today. I don't know what all the fuss is about, I think he looks better in person than all the pics I've seen of it.
It's probably not the best likeness in the world but it's not half bad.

It's surely not as bad as the Princess Leia slave mini-bust but it could have been better.

Totally agree. There have been far worse likenesses that collectors have fused less about. It's nowhere near Slave Leia bad. It's better than Hoth Leia too and we didn't hear to many people up in arms over that one.
