FYI

Update From Forbidden Planet
6 July 2007

Forbidden Planet are looking forward to seeing you next Thursday the 12th of July on the European leg of The Gentle Giant World Tour.

Exclusive Items


Prices are now posted on the website.

There will be a limit on the number of Commander Bly busts sold per customer. This will be announced at the event.

There will be a limit of one per customer on both the R2D2 & Yoda maquette and the Luke & Han Bust Up.

Please also note that we cannot apply UK Star Wars Fan Club discount to these items - although card holders are still eligible for 10% discount on any other Star Wars stock on production of their card.

The Shop


Forbidden Planet is at 179 Shaftesbury Avenue. Click here for our store finder.

The nearest London Underground stations are Tottenham Court Road, Covent Garden and Leicester Square.

The Launch


The exclusive items will not be on sale until the start of the event at 5:00pm

If you are planning to come early to ensure that you get your hands on the stock, please note that the queue will run from the rear of the building on New Compton Street.

The weather in London has been poor recently so umbrellas and wet weather gear may be advisable.

The Competition


Prior to the start of the event, people in the queue will be asked to fill in a form - we will need your details as the scan print out will be mailed out to you later if you are a winner.

All forms will be placed in a hat - or maybe in Boba Fett’s helmet - and a number of winners will be pulled out by Karl Meyer to have their features scanned.

Of course one very lucky winner, chosen at the end of the night, will have their scan taken back to the Gentle Giant studios to have their likeness sculpted so that their head can be dropped onto their Commander Bly mini bust.

Runners Up


We also have loads of exclusive Gentle Giant World Tour T-shirts to give away as runnerup prizes. They are way cool, strictly limited, not for sale and not available anywhere else in Europe - but we we will be just giving them away.

See you next week!

Thanks for posting this...

Our plan will hopefully be to setup at CE and provided all goes well then to head down to Forbidden Planet to cover things and try and pick up the Busts...
