Last week, I posted a summary of a Q and A with Amanda from Gentle Giant on the Rebelscum Gentle Giant forum. Read the full Q and A plus responses on Rebelscum here.
In last week’s Q and A, Amanda shed a little light on how Gentle Giant’s Baltimore pre-orders will be handled. Pay attention because they are doing things a little different this time.
The Gentle Giant booth at the Baltimore Comic-Con will only be for picking up your pre-orders. They will not be selling any other products at the show from their booth. The Baltimore Comic-Con will be handling the sale of the convention exclusives at a separate booth. So it seems, all the Gentle Giant Baltimore exclusives will be for sale at the show, only at the Comic-Con booth, instead of the Gentle Giant booth.
According to Amanda, Gentle Giant also says they will be offering the Premiere Guild members an advance time to place their “Pre-Orders for Pick-Up”, before opening it up to the rest of the members of our Collector’s Club. With Baltimore Comic-Con now less than 2 weeks away, I expect Gentle Giant should be putting up the exclusive pre-orders for Baltimore up within the next few days.

Gentle Giant has updated their blog on the Mynock Hunt Chewbacca Diamond Exclusive Mini bust. The edition size is set at 2,500. Retail price is $55. This bust is exclusive to Diamond, but only to Diamond customers that have physical stores and not just web sites. It is showing up for pre-order on some web sites though, so be on the lookout for that. If that fails, just ask your local comic store to order it for you. I don’t see this one as being that sought-after since it is a reissue with only a minor change.
Here is the link to the Chewbacca bust on the Diamond web site. See the previous coverage of the Chewbacca exclusive here.

Rebelscum has updated their photo archive with a photo gallery of the Blackhole Stormtrooper Animated Maquette. The Blackhole Stormtrooper was a Gentle Giant exclusive only available to premeire guild members and limited to 1,000. These are long gone, so your best bet now is to get it on eBay. See the previous coverage of this exclusive here and here.

If you are checking your e-mail tonight, you probably already know this. Gentle Giant sent out an update regarding the Premiere Guild raffles going on right now. The raffles for the Jumbo Chubby Vader and Commander Bly are being executed now. So if you entered either one of those, look for an e-mail saying whether you won or lost.
The raffles for Commander Cody, Glorfindel and Luna Lovegood will be executed tomorrow so look for your confirmation e-mails then. Gentle Giant says the reason they separated them is to check for duplicate entries with those who already pre-ordered for pick up at San Diego.
Update: The raffles for Commander Cody, Glorfindel and Luna Lovegood have been executed. E-mails are being sent out, so check your inbox and see if you won. Good luck!

Jumbo Darth Vader Chubby – 400 pieces
Commander Bly mini bust – 200 pieces

If you were able to add any of the Gentle Giant San Diego Comic Con exclusives to your wishlist in your Gentle Giant online account when they were up for order, you might notice something today. I did that originally (I always do that, specifically for this reason) and received an e-mail at 2 AM this morning letting me know that Glorfindel, an item I added to my wishlist, was available. I logged into my account and sure enough Glorfindel and Commander Cody, both exclusives which were on my wishlist, were showing as in stock.
When I clicked on the exclusives to add them to my shopping cart, I got an error and it said nothing was in my cart. Not only that but after I did that, neither one of them is in my wishlist anymore. Oh well. I sure got excited for about a second though! On the other hand, I think this is a sign that the San Diego exclusives will go up for Premiere Guild raffle today.
