Okay, I must admit they do look good. Still this is yet another example of GG kicking their customers in the nads. They are building up a karma debt that will eventually come due.

WOW!! I must say, after seeing the pics these look amazing.

So they might not be as easy to get as some product out there but its been a while since I've actually had to work to add a piece(s) to my collection so I can live with it. These are to good to pass up IMO. The more people who decide to pass the easier it will be for me to get my set.

Can't believe they are doing this again
Do they not learn

From the pics the design looks pretty ugly like a cross between halo and star wars IMO

Easy pass for me

They're setting some aside for purchase by Premier Guild members. That's good enough for me.

It would be for me as well except for the fact that there are way more than 250 PG members, which means it will be a raffle. Chances of winning a *chance* to purchase at retail = well last time for me it was 1 of 4. Also winners seemed to come from the same regions and were often fishy because some folks won each time --so not even a fair raffle. Which is why time and time again GG come off as jack#sses. So yep, if they guaranteed PG members the pieces that would be one thing. Making folks jump through hoops like trained dogs is a guaranteed way to pis$ their customers off. But what the heck, being ticked off at GG's azzclown business practices is one of those inevitable facts of life like death and taxes. You know it's gonna happen.

They don't really seem all that raffle oriented these days, actually.

I'll be surprised if they do raffle them off rather than offer them for sale, because that would be a pretty large step backward for them at this point. They've put a decent amount of effort into building up good will with their customers this past year, or so.

Anyhow, I'd hate to see them flush all that rapport down the drain by reverting to old practices.
