Gentle Giant e-mailed the Premiere Guild members to let us know that the raffle for the Clone Commander 5 Pack will start this Thursday, November 8th.
Update - 11/8/07: The premiere guild member raffle for the Clone Commander 5 pack is now live. Click here to enter. You have to be logged in for the link to work. Here are the details.
- Edition size: 500
- Price: $250
- All 5 of the Clone Commanders will have the same edition number
- Raffle will start today (11/8/07) and run for six(6) days, ending on November 13, 2007 at 11:59pm Pacific
- Open to all Premiere Guild Members worldwide
They have also included an important note this time about damage to any of the busts. Here it is the full text taken from the blog post.
Because of the limited quantities of this item and the fact that all pieces are numbered with the same edition number in each pack, our return policy for damage items is slightly different. If one or more of the 5 commanders is damage we will take it on a case by case basis as our damage replacement allocation for each of the commanders is close to being depleted as these items have already been out on the market for a while and we have already replaced some of the individual damaged items. Please be aware that we will not be able to replace the piece with the same edition number.
To recap, Gentle Giant announced their World Tour Exclusives this year would be 5 Clone Commander busts. Part of these would be available at 5 shows held at different times around the world, and part of the them would be raffled off after the shows to the premiere guild members. It was also announced at the end of the year 500 of each bust would be raffled off as a 5 pack to the premiere guild members. Here is the list of where each Clone Commander was available and the edition size of each.
- Commander Gree mini bust – 2500 - Star Wars Celebration IV
- Commander Neyo mini bust – 1500 - Gentle Giant @ Blister Event Tokyo
- Commander Bly mini bust – 2000 - Gentle Giant @ Forbidden Planet Event UK

The pre-orders for the Gentle Giant Baltimore Comic-Con Exclusives are up. Gentle Giant just sent out an e-mail to Premiere Guild members letting them know that the exclusives are up for pre-order for Premiere Guild members for “close to” 48 hours before they are open to the rest of the Collector’s Club this Friday. Here are the links.
They also say that only part of the total edition size will be available for pre-orders. Baltimore Comic-Con will be handling the sales of the rest of the convention exclusives at a separate booth on a first come, first serve basis.
For those who will be attending the Baltimore Comic-Con, Gentle Giant’s booth number is 1110/1210.
Update - 8/31/07: The Baltimore Comic-Con Exclusive pre-orders are now live for all Collector’s Club members. They will be available until Midnight Wednesday, September 5th or until pre-order for pick-up quantity is out, which ever comes first.

Earlier this 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 the Q and A, Amanda was asked a question about the free gifts for the Premiere Guild members. She said that he black light posters should be starting to ship out next week, and the other items will be shipped later. Here is our original post on the blacklight poster from Gentle Giant.
In addition, Amanda spoke about what the gift will include overall. According to her, there are 3 licensed products and 3 GGLTD items. All the licensed products are exclusive to the PG and will not be available anywhere else. She also said that some items will be great for display and some you will be able to use everyday.
Some collectors are taking this to mean that “for display” means something like a bust-up. On the other hand, it could refer to something like a poster which has already been announced. Posters are also for displaying. It has already been determined that the gift will not include an actual mini bust which many of the collectors who signed up early had hoped for. “Everyday day use” probably means something like a keychain or a pen.
This news may get some collectors hopes up. I will hold my judgement until I receive the items. Right now I am not planning on renewing my Premiere Guild membership unless I see they make drastic changes to the way it is done. I mean the blacklight poster was announced more than a month ago, and we are still waiting on that.

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!
