Dear Valued Premier Guild Member,

If you have renewed your membership recently, please disregard the note that says you are eligible for the EP II Blue Clone Classics Bust. Once we have the the pre-order module set for this year's gift we will notify you via email and post a blog.

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.
