I just really wish he was on his speeder. Back to the Scout, I saw one sell for over $300 once. Now they are selling for under $200.00 on ebay. I'm sure I'll be able to get one soon.

Commander Cody is the exclusive for the show along with a few other pieces. /www.gentlegiantltd.com:4...detail/312 GG had trouble with their servers (as usual), but I was able to get an order in for a friend to pick up for me at the show. Same old GG... Sharon www.RadicalRay.com

I say sit tight, the price should come down a bit as eBay get flooded with them. I bet Bly will be $150ish? My spending limit is $100 for any one mini bust. If I cannot get it under that price, I cannot have it. (This was a rule I made for myself when I came into this game) Sharon www.RadicalRay.com

I am seeing them for 220.00. The problem is shipping from UK. Some of these fools want 50.00 bucks. It aint going that far!

Membership is $50, and there is some free mystery gift you will get at some point. It is a raffle system to get a chance to purchase. Out of 9 raffles so far, I haven't won a single chance to purchase an exclusive yet. The last raffle, for Neyo, only members from the NorthEast area were chosen. (random?) Ny, Ma, Nj, etc. (Just FYI if you are thinking of spending the $50, it hasn't helped me at all yet.) No FL winners. After the conventions are done for the season, GG will have 500 5- packs of the Clones, one from each event. These will be available for a raffle chance purchase to Premium members only. Good times! I think if you are patient, and wait until later in the year, prices on eBay will drop. Once people get their 5 packs, many will have extras to sell or trade. If you MUST purchase one on eBay, shop wisely. Sharon www.RadicalRay.com

It has a light up feature and is exclusive to Suncoast, Sam Goody & FYE stores. DO NOT wait to snag one, people are buying them up to sell on the Bay. Sharon www.RadicalRay.com

Posts: 1367 Sun, Jul 29, 2007 6:56 AM Orlando	They are making some cool pieces for the classics line, but I am not wanting to start a new series. If I see a dramatic price drop, I may pick them up. Time will tell. Trying...to...resist... GG did not have much for SW this time around at SDCC, and I am pleased. The Dooku & Asaj statue looks great, but I am out of the EU collecting. The animated Emperor proto looks sweet! Indy riding his horse is coming along nicely, (with some attention needed on the horse's smaller than scale legs). It will be nice to get caught up on some of the great products offered this year. Thankfully, the same goes with SideShow. Sharon www.RadicalRay.com

Posts: 6068 Sun, Aug 5, 2007 7:34 PM Consul - Orlando System Baron Admin	I know what you mean about making $pace for the Commander Clones, but based on how many AotC busts I'm seeing from overseas right now, it looks like maybe someone bought a bunch of remaining stock from the Art of Star Wars exhibit in Singapore (that this was exclusive to) and is unloading them. I'm planning on ordering from this place in Singapore. I've asked to get a price quote for sending two, just in case any one else is also looking for this mini-bust. They've got eight in stock at this price (and more at various higher prices) so I'm not too afraid that I'm going to lose it. Either way, I expect I'll order Monday so post if you want to join me on this.
