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.
