Didn't expect a run of 1000 would be that hard to get. It took hours for the Bowen exclusives to run out. I guess the Star War have a GREATER force

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

I know that I put in everything correctly too. Very frustrating. I was wondering if this happened to others and seeing that it has it's probaby a glitch on their end, one we unfortunately have to pay for. I may actually luck out because a great friend covered for me and was able to get one just in case I couldn't.

ZURB, HAPPENED TO ME ALSO!!!! If it wasn't for my wife's computer at work and her being prepared in case something like this happened I would not have gotten one. I was on the phone with her when it did it to me and everything was correct also!!! I was tweaking!!!! Also happened to me friend in CO!!!!

It's a run of 1,000 but only 500 were being offered today. The other ones were sold at the convention in Japan already.
Being a hot Star Wars item did not help either... 
Is this the lowest edition trooper bust that has been released? The only other GG item I know of with a 1,000 edition size is the Padme maquette.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

It may be a run of 1000, but 500 were already sold in Japan, so only about 500 were available online.

It was a run of 1000 but there were only 500 available today. The first 500 went during a promotion in Japan.

I think I was able to secure one but no email confirmation yet. This was probably the hardest to get compared to the other Collector's Club exclusives in the past. It's still hard to believe that all 500 got bought out in like what...30 minutes or less? I really just wanted it so I can display it next to the chrome stormie.

Here's my story. I told a bunch of my friends to help me get this since I usually never get lucky with any Exclusive Online relesaes. Anyway, Like everyone I was at the checkout trying to type in my credit card information and the page crashes on me. I try to do it a few other times but by the time I was able to go through the item was now sold out. A good friend of mine was able to get one for me but for some reason he's telling me now that he doesn't want to give it to me because he just wants to resell it.
Should I even bother with this guy anymore? I usually tell my friends about releases like this since they might come up and get a few ends by trying. Money isn't the biggest object in the world since I'm a collector and he is not, but I still feel sorta gipped cause I'm the one who passed on that information to him thinking since we were boys he'd have my back. He knows damn well I collect things I really like. I really could careless if the bust sells for $400 on eBay since I just want to have this in my collection. I've helped this guy come up a few bills before without asking anything back. I think it's time to repay that favor or I'll never ever tell them again about these releases. I rather have DIE HARD COLLECTORS get their hands on this since I know they have paid their dues.
