"I just thought I would give you the heads up that the MBNA Chrome
Jango Fett busts will be showing up at people's homes that received
them for free by signing up for the credit card. The bust is very nice
piece, it comes in a plain white box without any graphics on it. I
received #851 out of 5000. I have enclosed some pics. Enjoy, and keep
the great site going."

11/19/2003 04:33 PMI really can't remember the last time a promotion that I know is
supposed to help the
Star Wars brand has gone as wrong as the
one Lucasfilm is doing with MBNA right now. In what seems like a
string of problems, a quick check of the official
MBNA Galactic Rewards
website will show you, as it now has been for about three weeks,
that they are completely and hopeless offline. Never mind that
frequent calls to them have now turned to comical as they now are
gun-shy of telling callers the next promised date it will be online
again. And forget about finding out when they will make the cool
exclusive Gentle Giants Vader Mini-Bust available to us as each person
you talk to will give you a different date, or no date in some cases.
And on top of that, the last time I was able to see the promotion page
for this it said they had just 100 of them available, and sometime in
December they would go up from 7,500 points to 10,000 points each. I'm
taking odds it will be December before they ever get the darn site
back online. If you have missed the history on this, you can get up to
speed with a quick
MBN
A search.

07/22/2004 01:04 AMComic-Con hasn't even started yet, and already there's a problem with
the exclusives from Gentle Giant. Comic-Con security is enforcing the
sale of exclusive items from the planned distrubution system to a
raffle system. Fans interested in acquiring the
Spirit of the
Rebellion bust-ups or the
Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper
Disguise mini-bust can enter the raffle, and if their number is
called, will be able to make their purchase. The good news is that the
winning number is good throughout the show, so if your number is
called, you can make your purchase during the weekend. This is not
what Gentle Giant had planned, and they were only informed of this
change minutes before distribution was about to begin.

Star Wars IG-88 Mini-Bust
Star Wars IG-88 Mini-Bust
09/15/2004 11:08 AMGentle Giant Studios has presented several of the
Star Wars
bounty hunters, such as Bossk and of course Boba Fett. But their next
release is just as feared, and perhaps even more heartless—the
sentient droid hunter/killer known as IG-88. This motorized arsenal is
cruel and cunning. Created in the Halowan Laboratories, IG-88 has been
on a rampage since he downloaded a sentience program and assassinated
his creators. A rival to Boba Fett for the bounty on Han Solo, he has
tracked down and eliminated hundreds of victims as a prelude to the
race for his most elusive target. Beware!
Measuring 6 1/4" high, prepainted in deluxe full-color packaging. This
bust will be limited to 5,000 pieces, prepainted in deluxe full-color
packaging, retail for $45.00, and on sale February 16, 2005.
