no later than MARCH 2ND, 2009.

Premier Guild Membership 2009
Incentives and Benefits
Cost: $60 annual fee plus shipping & handling of free gift
2009 Free Gift Options: Animated Clone Wars Rex (realistic
version) Mini Bust
or a Gold Electroplated Vader Helmet
Membership changes are officially effective on March 2, 2009
Disclaimer: Thank you for your interest in
joining the exclusive Gentle Giant Premier Guild. The 2009 membership will cost $60
and will expire on December 31st 2009. This includes all memberships purchased
from January 1st 2009 to December 31st 2009. Each member will have
their choice to receive 1 of 2 collectibles offered as their annual gift with the
option to purchase the other. All members will need to pre-order this gift
no later than May 30th 2009. After this date, gifts are available while supplies
last and cannot be guaranteed. If it happens that a customer joins after the
Premier Guild after May 30th 2009 and there are no gifts available, a voucher/credit
will be issued for use on a future product of equal or lesser value. No substitutions
will be allowed.
We will continue to acknowledge all Premier Guild Memberships that were purchased
after the initial renewal period in 2008 until they expire this year. However,
if you purchased a 2008 membership and it doesn't expire until later this year, you
will still need to renew your membership to be eligible for the 2009 gift.
For example: If you joined in July of 2008, your membership is good
until July of 2009 and you will continue to receive all the benefits of the Premier
Guild; however you will not be eligible to receive the 2009 gift until you renew
your membership for the 2009 calendar year.
We will be taking pre-orders until May 30th 2009 for the free-gifts and recommend
if your 2008 membership expires any time from February 20th to December 31st, that
you pre-order this piece. You will be charged the $60 annual membership renewal
fee at the time you renew or purchase your 2009 membership. Once these gifts are
in stock your orders will be charged all applicable fees, processed and shipped;
which will be in September/October 2009.
