I'll get that on the front page in the next round of updates Greg, and do we not have something in our giveaway stockpile that might help one of these lucky Troopers populate said Cantina?  :beer:   :td:  :emperor:

By the way - last chance to get in on our drawing for the Jumbo Vintage Cantina Playset! http://blog.gentlegiantltd.com/?p=911

Also, I won't be in the office for the rest of the week, so I won't be posting. However, I will probably start making the forum rounds again while I'm at CVI starting next Wednesday.

Yeah, the weekend was a blur. I must have missed the introduction and not realized it was you. Sorry. There were a LOT of people I met for the first time at this show.

Yeah, I didn't stay at the Bash for long. It was cool, but not my scene. When you're married, you don't drink, you don't dance and it's too loud to have a conversation, you can't help but think that there may be better uses of your time.

As for the Dark Side Grotto party, I tried taking a disco nap before heading over there and I wound up sleeping until 4am. Oops.

I'm still married, I drink and normally don't dance. But when you get that broke off I make exceptions!

Ah! Now, I remember you. Sorry, yeah, this was a hazy weekend. Mostly from lack of sleep.

And yeah... that's pretty broke off right there. ;-)

IT didn't get any better, this was found on Curto's Twitter page!  NO doubt not one of my finer moves!

I was looking at Rebelscum and they have posted the PMG "gift" of the Gamorean guard on the 1985 POTF card with a 3" diameter coin.

That has to be the coolest upgrade in the history of modern collectibles!  It's great to see a company that is REALLY getting collectors these days! Great job Greg & crew!!

Of course the cat is out of the bag. I let it out. ;-)

As for carded vs. boxed vs. ???, that's all still to be determined.

We even had puke bags for that at the condo! WE thought of every emergency at Camp Dickey Beers.  I too saw the video on Yodasnews... We'll get that and the gammo on the front page in our next round of updates.  THANK GOD I had today off!  :-\ ;) :)

Being an old-school fan. LOVE the 12' vintage line.
I hope to see more being made without no new changes to the original mold.
They are perfect the way they are being made.

We haven't decided the release plan for RFBF (that's rocket-firing boba fett) yet.

It seems like you might go the exact same cardback as the Blue Snaggs?  The first Fett came in a white mailer box too, maybe you guys will redo that as well?  I have to be honest I really didn't care for the bigger vintage figures, now I wished I'd gotten on board from the get-go.  :-\
