Price Guides 2010 Update!

The Price Guides have been updated for the start of the new year! There has been a decent amount of fluctuation from the last update. There have been some great deals on many items for those that have been keeping a watch on the secondary market! On the other hand, some of the harder to find items (even from retired lines) are holding their value or increasing it.

For readers not familiar with our guides, we process them manually to ensure they are accurate. The Price Guide team looks at completed ebay auctions, ebay stores, online retailers who sell in the secondary market, yahoo auctions, popular message board sale sections, as well as other places on the web to determine the true value of each piece on the secondary market.

It is both a useful tool if you are looking to fill a hole in your collection, or if you have the misfortune of having to part with one of your pieces and need to have an idea what you can expect it to sell for. Our very popular Image Guides are also integrated into the section.

GGC Exclusive Sneak Peek of the Star Wars and Harry Potter 2010 PG Gift Offerings!

 

GG is finishing up the sculpts for the PG Gifts for 2010.  Next week, they hope to officially announce the 2010 membership information, along with painted images of the gifts.  Members will have a choice of 3 gifts for 2010 and an option to purchase the other 2.  Two Star Wars and 1 Harry Potter option. 

Clone Wars Commander Fox - animated version.  We went with the Animated Version as we found the design of the Rex did not differentiate too much from the Animated Style.  Also, with all the success of the Animated Series, we really want to support this series.  Look for more Clone Wars Animated style mini busts in 2010!

 

 

Commander Faie!   He is being painted right now!  I hope you all enjoy him as he will make a great addition to anyone's collections! 

 

Filch with Mrs. Norris.   Note that Filch will be holding a lantern, in which I am hoping to have a light-up feature like Hagrids.  I think we really captured the likeness of Filch.
Enjoy!

Happy 3rd Anniversary Gentle Giant Collectors!
 

It's hard to believe it has been three years since we first went online, but earlier in the week, on September 22, 2009, Gentle Giant Collectors.com turned three years old.

Over the last three years , we have built up a massive Image Guide of nearly every single item Gentle Giant Ltd has produced. We add to the guide weekly and we have seen over two dozen of the products on our Most Wanted list get made by Gentle Giant since we launched it in 2007.

We have over 15,000 products registered in our registry and have over 250,000 messages posted at our message boards! In 2009, we also became the official home of the Gentle Giant Collection of the Month. We have expanded our very popular Price Guides and have added improvements to our registy that allows collectors to not only keep track of each item and edition number but also download and export it, and also see a current market value of what the collection is worth!

Be sure to check out the GGC forums where we will be giving away some very cool items next week to our readers thanks to Gentle Giant LTD and our sponsors!
