mav-man Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Just thought I'd let you all know that, I wrote an email to AFX about doing an exclusive set for BSG too, and they answered me back this morning by saying, "they are looking into it", so hopefully this will be good news!

Turtle Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 That would be great. In the Hercules AFX blog, they mention some other surpirses. Hopefully it's something BSGish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 That would be great. In the Hercules AFX blog, they mention some other surpirses. Hopefully it's something BSGish. They don't just mention 'some other surprises'. They mention eight surprises. Lets see, that would be: Cavil Dorel Leobon Simon 'Mother' Cylon missing 2 From the Fleet and possibly Number Seven Or maybe the kick butt Starbuck from New Caprica. Granted, this is probably way too wishful of thinking but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Anybody else asking them? If they're considering it, maybe a few people showing interest would help. cs@shopafx.com Edited March 2, 2009 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Anybody else asking them? If they're considering it, maybe a few people showing interest would help. cs@shopafx.com Is that the email to send questions to? I will happily pester write to them and ask about exclusive sets.

groundhog7s Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yes, that's their customer service e-mail. I e-mailed today and got a very quick response that they are still looking into what to do about BSG. I think their response means that the exclusives they talked about in the Hercules blog aren't anything BSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, this is probably way too wishful of thinking but... If they did 8 BSG minimates, I would think it would be an almost all cylon set: Cavil Dorel Leobon Simon Anders Tori The final cylon - we know who this is, but I won't say the name for spoilers sake. And one more: either Starbuck, Hot Dog, Eyepatch Tigh, D'anna or the other Athena that was shown. Although Starbuck and Hotdog would not be cylons as far was we know.

Turtle Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Apparently the last two waves are being offered again for release this month(?). From figures.com http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cg...le=771&nl=1 And here they are: http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/default....=76300&ssd= http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/default....=76308&ssd= Is this really happening?

Lobsterman Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Whaaaaaaat? Is this a new March solicit to be released later in the year? I wonder if they already had these produced and pulled them at the last minute? But, if this is true, what about Ellen?!?

Turtle Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I was wondering about the New Caprica set also- it is obviously just as important as these waves. Maybe AFX will pick that up as an exclusive. These are listed in shops March 2009, which, if true, I think would mean they were already produced. I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I've got emails in to DST, Stuckakid and the editor at Figures.com to see if there's any truth to this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I emailed AFX and received a reply within a few minutes simply stating 'Thank you for writing. We will look into BSG possibilities.' I hope that they will see that there is a large enough group who want these and take them into serious consideration. Who knows if those are true?

Lobsterman Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Nothing yet from Figures or DST, but Stuckakid wrote back confirming they had received a cancellation notice for these back in January, and haven't heard anything since. I have a feeling this might have just been a mistaken post of an old solicit... there's nothing on Diamond Distributors' homepage suggesting this is a new development. --- edit --- Just heard back from Figures.com's editor. He said he was just going on what was on Diamond Dist's March Toychest page. Edited March 3, 2009 by Lobsterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Even if it's a mistake, maybe it will drum up more attention and interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Gnnahhh... Figures.com editor just wrote back again. They confirmed with DST that the sets are still dead; Diamond Dist. just had an old listing pop up in the new solicits. Damn, that was a nice little boost this morning, too.

Turtle Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Noooooooooooooooooooooo! It's Tuesday and this week has so far been pretty shitty. The "news" this morning had me pumped. Why, oh why, must DST continue to trifle? How does an old listing just pop up in new solicits? You know who I feel like? Fox Mulder "I'm the key figure in an ongoing toy charade, the plot to conceal the truth about the existence of the final BSG minimate waves. It's a global conspiracy, actually, with key players in the highest levels of power, that reaches down into the lives of every man, woman, and child on this planet, so, of course, no one believes me. I'm an annoyance to my superiors, a joke to my peers. They call me Spooky. Spooky Turtle, whose sister used to burry his toys when he was just a kid and who now chases after little plastic men, shouting to the heavens or to anyone who will listen that the fix is in, that the sky is falling and when it hits it's gonna be the shit-storm of all time."

buttheadsmate Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I watched with horror when I saw today's posts . I am one of the few that still believes that we will get something in the way of conclusion with a final box-set /wave.........but even I know that Wave 5 & 6 & Caprica just 'ain'tappenin' .

Modefan Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Just got my cancellation email from BBTS - Apparantly the new caprica set was cancelled @ diamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Just got my cancellation email from BBTS - Apparantly the new caprica set was cancelled @ diamond Me too. On a slightly more optimistic note, the most recent Q&A still seems as though they are trying to get these guys out in some way or another. I know I am just being hopeful, but.... What are we without hope for the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Wow, I've never seen BBTS cancel anything, maybe they got a sternly worded email from DST or something, after they didn't cancel the preorders like all the other online stores 2 months ago... After a quick search, it looks like the preorders they had for the Ghost Rider moviemates and the Spidey maximate are finally gone too, although Rocky III and the Spidey 3 Previews box are still up... guess those'll be out any day now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah, but the preorders for waves 5 & 6 are both still up. And I have not got a cancellation notice about these. So who knows whats going on with BBTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It seems to me that if DST was going to send word that they needed to cancel the New Caprica mates and they didn't include waves 5 and 6 in that message then there is still some hope there. (At least that is what I am going to believe so that I feel better about it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
