Twisted Two-Face Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 BTW guys: You may to get in your pre-orders now, because TRU is currently offering a Bill-me-later option that gives FREE SHIPPING. It's on all the minimates and the mini-fliers, too. Yuo don't have to pay for 90 days, so for some it may be worth it. Just thought i'd let y'all know.

cdubya Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) I hadn't seen this yet, but DST has the official announcement of the Mini-flyers up on their site. While the photos and info. are nothing new, I did find the last sentence intriguing...hmmm. http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/ I hope the enthusiasm is still this high come Fall! Of course by then I may very well be living in the street in a shanty constructed entirely of empty BSG packaging. :biggrin: Edited June 18, 2009 by cdubya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm glad for all the BSG fans out there who wanted these to happen. Those mini-flyers are kinda neat. I'd like to get a couple of the non-Cylon ships for my Avengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Yes! I want more pix of Chuck made into groovy lineart... that avatar of yours is almost T-shirt worthy T. Just needs to be bigger right? I'm tempted to print these up as stickers and leave them at the DST booth at SDCC. I'd like to make more, but photos of the elusive Chuck are hard to come by and I'm not skilled enough to try one from memory. I really wanted to make a DSTMatt version as well, but I don't have any photos of him. Anybody got one? Or any of the DST crew? Chuck's lookin' a little bored there all by himself.

buttheadsmate Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) Somebody posted a whole dang video link of the guy doing some presentation somewhere in a suit*. C'mon NorthRaider you seem to be our resident bloodhound (in the nicest possible sense ) for finding this sort of stuff. * NYCC this year? Failing that I'm sure I have a photo from SDCC 2008 of me begging stuff off of him. I was going to use this picture to explain further the reason I suspect the reason for 'Stealth = blue' which although nought to do with BSG ....I'd love to have on a T. Great stuff Ivan.

groundhog7s Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm assuming this is a good sign, but pre-orders for series one are gone from TRU's website. I'd assume it's just like it was with Ghostbusters series 1 and that they've sold a lot so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I got an email from TRU saying that my series 1 orders are processing and that I should receive them between June 24 and 26. That'd be swell... but this is TRU so I won't hold on my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I got the same e-mail this morning. With a delivery date of June 25 - 29. I can not wait for these to show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Wow. They really did mean a June release. I'm hoping to get the same e-mail today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patox Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm trying to order the TRU BSG series 1 from the website, but it's no longer showing up. Only Series 2 and the mini-flyers. Have they sold out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Did somebody call my name? Somebody posted a whole dang video link of the guy doing some presentation somewhere in a suit*. C'mon NorthRaider you seem to be our resident bloodhound (in the nicest possible sense ) for finding this sort of stuff. IIRC it was Matt being interviewed about DST's upcoming DeLorean scale model on BTTF.com, God help me if I can still find the link... Oh, drgn found the link already? Nevermind And Ivan should totally do a poster of Boomer, with "I'm a Cylon" written underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniOkie Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Got an e-mail last night from TRU, my pre-order for BSG mates new series 1 will arrive at my house 6-26 to 7-2. But, $22 in shipping!! Crap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Ivan, any chance of me getting a D'anna poster as a new Avatar?? Please?? Ooo, or Helena Cain. Preferably D'anna though. If you can. Edited June 20, 2009 by Twisted Two-Face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Okay, lot of good suggestions. I'm glad you guys like them. Unfortunately with Father's Day and a couple family events, I'm swamped this weekend. It'll be a little while before I can make some more. Just didn't want anyone to think I was ignoring them. I'm *almost* kinda glad I didn't see these (or the new Marvel) at my TRUs today. Then I'd have a DB update on top of everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Because unpadded paper envelopes are REALLY expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Because unpadded paper envelopes are REALLY expensive. Funny because it's true (well not the expensive part). I received a "package" from TRU last week (T2 stuff) that was crammed into an unpadded paper envelope that was completely mangled. Good thing I don't collect MIB. I imagine if you order more than a couple things they might actually spring for a box, though. Got an e-mail last night from TRU, my pre-order for BSG mates new series 1 will arrive at my house 6-26 to 7-2. But, $22 in shipping!! Crap... Ouch, that's the cost of 3 more 2-packs! You do what you gotta do though. I'm certainly not going to start hating-on TRU since I wouldn't be getting more BSGoodness (or other cool 'mates) were it not for their sponsorship. But those envelopes...c'mon guys, ever heard of "Flat-rate boxes"? Edited June 20, 2009 by cdubya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 It is wierd that everyone's estimate on receiving these from TRU is different cause mine said I should receive mine between 6/26 and 6/30. I really hope if nothing else these get shipped to me between those dates. I ordered a couple of 2 packs from these before and got them in the unpadded envelope so here's hoping that ordering 5 2 packs will make them send it in a box!
