    Got my 2 Animated Clone Wars busts. Whenever I get my SW room redone I'll photograph them. They're 1/7th scale so they're a little smaller than the usual busts. But they were also cheaper. I had bought the $40 free shipping for a year and it's nicely paying off. I have Ahsoka on pre-order, she'll be nice in the collection. I wish they had done a Padme to go with them.

    Rebelscum is reporting that the Thrawn bust is now showing as sold out on the GG website but they have an alternate source listed. See the article if you are still wanting to pre-order!

    A lot of my bust boards that I follow people were going bezerk for Thrawn so I'm not surprised.

    I scored the Leia statue.

    Gentle Giant has up their expected shipping dates. I'm dying of shock - they're planning to have our PGM gifts ready Q2. That's unheard of. Apparently having Diamond Select purchase the company did wonders for their distribution. My wallet will be groaning. I have 2 Grogu statues coming in Q1.

    @cathiecat - you going to put in the pre-order for Padme? I immediately put mine in. I really like the Yoda but man, my Yoda display is too packed for a newer somewhat larger Yoda to go in there.
