Limited Edition Gentle Giant STAR WARS Admiral Ackbar Magnitude Mini Bust (SDCC 2013 Exclusive)

At this years San Diego Comic Con Gentle Giant will be releasing an awesome ‘Magnitude’ mini bust of Admiral Ackbar.

Features:

• Limited Edition of 500 pieces
• Available at SDCC 2013 only
• based on the artwork by Steven Daily
• includes printed wooden box with a 4 x 6 limited edition lithograph print by Acme Archives
• comes with a hand-numbered certificate of authenticity and bottom stamp.

Okay, so what happens if you’re a collector who really, really wants this but can’t attend SDCC 2013?

The answer rests in attempting to acquire it by a vendor offering it for pre-sale.

What’s that you ask? That’s when people take orders for an item such as this and then go to the event and pick it up on your behalf.

As I write this post three vendors are currently offering just that via Ebay. Prices vary. You can check which one’s are still available for pre-order via the search link below:
