    Very true.

    Of course they could just let the general public pre-order or purchase the exclusives online like most other companies, instead of only offering them to people who shell out $60.

      Hoo boy. More exclusives and "limited editions" and high after-market prices. Thanks Gentle Giant!

      Collecting is supposed to be fun, not anxiety-inducing.

          I got one but for now it's staying in the package so I can't say how well it's made. However, I can say that I'm very impressed with how it looks and I definitely plan on getting the other figures when they're available. Other than some clear tape that needs to be cut around the edges the packaging seems to be collector friendly which is another plus.

                Got it today and I have to say. WOW. This thing is HUGE!!! Looks cool.
                Not sure who will be getting them all, if they make them all. But would need a big space for these. They look well made too.
                Clamshell is not resealable unless you remove the tapes. Seems brittle. The top clam over laps the back clam on three sides so you would have to be very careful not to break off the tabs.
                I am so psyched to get the Fett one.

                Thanks gain, Uni!!

                    I really like it. But as awesome as it is just can't justify dropping $85 a piece on something that would sell for $20 or less at Toys r Us. Still think it's wicked cool. Just wish Hasbro had done it instead.
                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                      Ordered a Stormtooper last night. It is due to arrive on the 24th. Can't wait. Gentle Giant still have them in stock if anyone is still looking. I wouldn't think they will last much longer.

                          No problem man. And absolutely, not to mention they are bound to keep rising once GG's stock run out.

                            I agree. They are freaky-neat though.

                                ^^Nice, huh? Really diggin' this line. Looking forward to Jawa, Tusken Raider, Greedo, Hammerhead. Too bad the Jawa is not vinyl cape. Might need to get another one and make into a vinyl cape version.
