Man, when I checked my order they still had it listed to ship in April I think, but what you are saying makes sense DC. And now we have two more minibusts for Hoth? I guess the good news is I will have plently of time to save up for em! I put in my first order January of last year and still haven't gotten one yet! Might just have to let Pat work his majic!

I am looking forward to that Luke Hoth bust.  I can do without the Han though.  I wouldn't be surprised if they canceled the Classics line.  The money really doesn't seem worth it.  I'd much rather have a bigger mini-bust than a smaller Classic bust.

LOL. I hear you DC, I have forbit my family from buying anything Star Wars for me too! They still try to get me the odd thing every now and then, but I appreciate thier effort. The only thing that bugs me about that classics line is that they have an atat driver that I won't be able to get! I guess maybe I will be able to find it on the secondary market years from now because you know they probably made quite a few! I do see the sense in regards to the price though. I will probably pick up both the hoth han and luke as I am strictly Battle of Hoth focused now.

Here's on the Tamer needs to get,  Mine arrived today and it is the first statue from GG I have boughten, I have busts and maquettes but I wanted this one since I first saw one. Incredible detail, not sold on the likeness but it's close enough.

That does look good Sarge. I might have to break down and get this someday.

Appears I have to eat some of my harsh words I had for GG over the years as I find myself adding a few more of their items to my collection. With my opinion of Hasbro's decline in quality and increase in price I have moved almost completely away from action figure collecting and instead am shifting to some "higher" end ( relative term) items. I don't think alot of GG's stuff is worth retail price but when you can find great deals on busts and other items, why not add them, to that my next item is one I liked for a while and when one pops up at $35.00 shipped, you gotta pull the trigger.
I have a couple  more busts comming at even better prices.

I was pretty impressed with this bust myself.  The chrome is fantastic.

Looks daggone good to me I tell you! I am seriously thinking about dropping all but TESB hasbro stuff and start focusing on picking up the GG piecies I like. It sure looks like they are gonna do two other Hoth items I ain't gonna be able to pass up.

Added another one this week. I always liked this one and kicked myself the last time Pat and I were at WW for passing it up. So when I saw one for a heck of a deal I had to snag it. I think GG got the look pretty good with this one.

I agree Wayne, this one was pretty nice, and one of my favorites.  I'm looking forward to doing some more bargain hunting like that at this year's WWC.
