mav-man Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 DST is pouring the love on BSG right now. WOW. How long til it all come tumbling down? Everything after wave 2 at TrU is just icing on the cake. I just want these first 2 waves to become reality then I'll relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 They're sweet but I have never seen any 360 on a marketing decision like this before. Um, don't you mean a 180? Doing a 360 on them would mean they cancel them...again. Are you trying to predict something? Now I'm curious as to what the Previews exclusive Starbuck would look like. Judging from the pic it looks like she's wearing some kind of pilot uniform different from those in wave 1. Did the pilot uniforms change sometime during seasons 2-4 or is this some weird prototype? Also, I wonder what Starbuck's face looks like under that helmet and what hair she'll get. Maybe it's going to be a burned up corpse Starbuck.

karamazov80 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 If I were to do so, I would use Paypal, and not a credit card. I would also make sure to get my money refunded from Paypal if the item didn't ship in 45 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have emailed CSC regarding the credit card situation & the scepticism it has invoked amongst members here regarding the safety of their site. My last reply inferred that some assurances would be forthcoming about their insistence that their site is safe. anyone seen anything?

Actually, they were coming-out, then cancelled (180), and now there coming-out again (360). I don't think the few us stoked about these could handle another disappointment like the first cancellation. No, all the jump-suits were the same, but then again there were never any "gold" Centurians either (except for Guardian Commanders), so a non-canon variation wouldn't be out of the question. I think at best we might possibly get a new expression, but I expect just a re-release of the original. While a dead Kara would be pretty cool, she was flying a Mk II . Again, as HotDog never flew a Viper in 'dress', it doesn't appear that DST is really going for accuracy as much as they're just trying to get this stuff out...so who knows.

gambitron Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 All this BSG love is great! Do you think that since these new miniflyers are PX exclusives that they have a better chance of survival? I don't recall any other PX sets being cancelled in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 From what little I can see of the pilot in Kara's viper, it looks like she has bare arms. Maybe we will be getting the new Caprica box set version of her. That would be cool. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Nobody seems to mind that that there are Cylon pilots in the Raiders? I do. I'd sooner see a more realistically proportioned (yet still adorably deformed) flyer with a hatch for Starbuck to pilot it and a Cylon army builder as a pack in that this abomination. I just can't get stoked about the Raiders when they look like this. The Vipers are fine though I wish the canopies hinged the right way.

I have tons of Cylons as is but would welcome a couple more. And about the hinge, there is no 'right way' as viper cockpits slide open, not hinge anyway.

NorthRaider Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I can actually imagine a feasible way for the canopies to slide open at that scale, I guess DST either didn't have the time/resources or just didn't feel the need to engineer them that way seeing as they're still being cautious about bringing BSG minimates back in the first place.

I reckon it is they that have become unhinged! Haha i get it. Hilarious. Still coming along nicely?? I don't mind the Raiders being piloted at all. Since i've become a die-hard fan of the show i figure that it should bother me, but it doesn't. Hell, i plan on buying multiples and painting a few cockpits grey anyway, so whatever. It sells and appeals to the mass market, and gives us army-builders, so i can live with it. Love the fact that we're getting them at all, actually. Besides; Kara's goin in one of 'em anyway.

I think cost is a big factor - some considerations may include: minimum number of parts design that's easy to execute at the factory level design that doesn't take a lot of fitting, fine tuning or assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gloryforixseal Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I think this will be a good movie but I hope they dont leave out as much as they did in the last movie. Plus, this will be the last movie for most of the main actors, who are getting too old and dont really want to do it anymore. But, the Order of the Phoenix looks promising anyway.

pickle Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Not sure if it has been mentioned. But these are going to be in the July Previews for sure. Just saw them on the July order form.
