An image of the Chrome Stormtrooper Mini-Bust has graced the Rebelscum Forums by way of www.mintinbox.net, and Gentle Giant addressed the issue in their press chat earlier today. According to Gentle Giant, the bust is a UK Exclusive, but like most exclusive will likely find its way to the U.S. While a North American source for the bust was not named, GGS stated the bust would be made available through an "appropriate outlet." The previous two chrome mini-busts, Darth Vader and Jango Fett, were both offered through MBNA as a new card member premium and/or redeemable via Galactic Reward points. There's been no indication MBNA will offer this bust, and current speculation is that StarWarsShop will probably end up as the 'source.' We hope to see more definite news on its price and U.S. availability in the coming weeks.
