When it rains, it pours. Gentle Giant is continuing to ship tons of product right now, including Lord of the Rings mini busts. GG let us know that amongst other things, the Lord of the Rings Saruman mini bust is scheduled to ship to retailers and distributors in 2 weeks. According to my calendar, that would be the week of September 24th. Look for Saruman soon at a retailer near you.

It looks like the Commander Bacara bust may be available at retail. Think about it. The edition size is 2,000. 500 were available for pre-order, and 500 are being held back for the 5 pack. 250 are being held back for the Premiere Guild raffle after the show. 250 are for sale during the show. Unless, I am missing some, that leaves an extra 500.
When the Commander exclusive busts were announced, Gentle Giant mentioned that they would be making the Bacara bust available for purchase to Diamond retailers. Here is the info taken from their blog post.
In conjunction with Diamond Comic Distributors 2007 Retailer Summit, we are offering up a quantity of Commander Bacara to retailers at a discounted price for their customers who are not able to make the trek out to Baltimore for the convention. For interested retailers please contact Baltimore Comic-Con for more information.
I wonder if Diamond retailers will be getting those extra 500? I guess we’ll find out soon enough. Until then, you might want to keep an eye out for Diamond retailers who are going to Baltimore this weekend. Let’s hope they don’t let them jack the prices up, although that is unlikely.

According to the Gentle Giant blog, the Frodo and Sam in Orc Armor busts from the Lord of the Rings line are now shipping to retailers and distributors. So look for them soon.
I for one passed on the Frodo and Sam in Orc Armor busts. I am looking forward to the Saruman and Elrond busts, however. Saruman and Elrond were both announced before Frodo and Sam, though it now appears that they won’t be shipping until after those busts. The funny thing is that according to Gentle Giant’s web site, Saruman and Elrond were both released in July.
