Star Wars Gentle Giant 12"

I saw a few for as low as $40 at a recent toy show, and was sorely tempted, but I just don't have the space to display or store them.

Wow! In toy shows here, you are lucky to get them at $90. That's it, I'm moving to the US. Anybody have a room I can rent? (PS: I'll need room for my GG Star Wars figures, of course...)

I saw some as low as $50 at wizard world in chicago last summer. i really want the r5-d4, but i'm pretty sure my wife is gonna veto that purchase

I have all of them so far. They're pretty cool. It's really nice to get on a forum where no one is b**ching about how they're not absolutely perfect. The price on these are slowly increasing. The 3PO and R2 are looking nicely vac metallized. I think I am going to stop after the first 12 (plus Boba).

I've been picking these up, too. I have about 5 of them and am contemplating finishing the "Original 12." I kind of see them as art pieces, sort of. I've been keeping them on the card and hanging them around the studio/toyroom where I don't have shelves. So, they really don't take up much space, at all, since they have sort of become "part of the walls."

My wife was asking me why I need these since I've already got the vintage 3 3 /4 versions. I told her that these Star Wars figures are for the future and in my old age. If my eyesight goes, I'll have these giant figures to enjoy and still be able to see... like a large-print book.

Love this line.
Currently have just three now from four. Sold the Stormtrooper on ESB card.
Just have Death Squad Commander, Vinyl Cape Jawa and ESB Boba. Plan on picking up another Boba on the SW card. Pre-Ordered Greedo and I plan on pre-ordering Hammerhead, Walrusman. I heard rumors of Snaggletooth being delayed due to retooling as well for a Blue Snaggletooth exclusive. Not sure if it's true or not but I'm hoping so.

Only disappointment was that the lightsabers were not double telescope but other than that, I like them. I too have them up on the wall and also see them as works of art, since they are and so do my guests when they come over.

I was debating on scoring another Death Squad Command, getting a C3-PO and getting a third Boba so as to create a kit-bash Boba Fett with firing missle. That would be killer on a custom card.

if they're doing the Cantina Aliens, I'll be all over them. How do I pre-order? are these Super7?

[SeattleEd]

They are Gentle Giant. Super7 does the Shogun releases. I hear Vader and Boba are up next.
Here is the Gentle Giant site: SW Retro

You could move to the US, but then you'd have to cross the border into Canada to get them at that price.
