I'll get the modern shots up tonight. I was hoping my Cylon Elf would show up first so I could fit him in with the rest for the group shot.

There are two battle damaged ones pictured above. Look for the black spots on them. I know - not a lot of damage.

I went ahead and just listed all my classics on eBay. I have too much drama going on right now and this seemed the easiest route for me at the moment.

Here are some quick boxed shots of the classics. I'll try to get to the others but some things came up.

Well, that didn't take long for the Cylon Elf to hit eBay but I think $9 to ship one minimate via UPS is more than a little bit high.

Why not sell them to a MMMV member instead? I'm sure a few of us missed out on a case.

Well, anyone can feel free to ask for some before I list them. I would rather sell them individually and not the case as a whole.

I am fairly certain that after looking at these in person, I will only be collecting the modern line. So I think I will end up listing my classics on eBay. I didn't plan it that way but I wanted to make sure I ordered a case of both to be safe.

Why aren't there ever any holiday promo figures that wear yarmukles? Every character wears a Santa hat. Isn't there a chance that Cylons are Jewish?

DST has addressed that with a Willow figure with a menorah on it which fit that character.

Modern case breakdown

1 Downloaded Cylon

4 Cylon Centurions (one is packed upside down in the box)

3 Cylon Cannon Centurion

2 Battle Damaged Cylon

2 Valley of Darkness Cylons

I will try to get some pictures posted later today if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Another interesting tid bit.

While the outside brown case are individually numbered out of 465 cases, the inner boxes are numbered out of 450 and have a different individual number than the outside shipping box.

The classic Cylons are little less exciting than the new style for me. That is strictly my opinion. Normally I would be all old skool but the new series is just too good.

My classic case breakdown

2 Battle Damaged Cylons

4 Cylon Centurions

1 Battle Damaged Command Centurion

3 Black stealth Centurion

2 Cylon Command Centurion

Interesting fact before I even open them.

The cases are individually numbered on the outside - and not out of 500 cases but rather out of 465 cases. I wonder what happened to the other 35 cases of each assortment.

I think if you have ordered them by the case, you will get at least one of each. Give me an hour or so and I will give the exact breakdown of mine.

I am a couple hours away from picking mine up. Tick tock, I am getting impatient.

We are too good to you!

Or at least that lurker Matt is........

I think what is probably happening is something like this:

The first wave gets sent out to the people on the DST Christmas list.

I think a second wave goes out to select comic shops.

And then if there are left overs, they get sent out to random Radical members.

But that is just my guess.

Radicals are just people with accounts on the site right? Anyway, looks awesome. Hope we can get some!

Not neccessarily but most likely. You need to sign up as a Radical and select your favorite toy lines. Sometimes what they send is based on those choices.

Just got 'the list' from my Fine Local Comic Shoppe:

BSG MODERN CYLON MINIMATE ASST (C: 0-1-4)

My hunch is that classic should be shipping this week too, but my store only picked up the modern stuff because they are all ga-ga for the modern series.

Check with your shop; East coast will likely be getting them next week.

Did your comic shop order both? Because both are shipping. I will have mine tomorrow.

I wouldn't wait to pick these up if I were some of you. If there are really 500 cases of each, that is not much to go around. That is why I broke down and just ordered a case of each. It leaves me with several doubles to eBay off but it is better than trying to hunt these down after the fact.

I am getting my two cases of Cylons this Weds through my Seattle comic shop so keep an eye peeled out the rest of you west coasters.

Why is the Spider-Man I have listed going for sooooo much more money than the Hulk or Daredevil?

Is it that hard to find?

I am not arguing or upset, just curious.

You started it with your J-Bone remark. Had you just called the guy by his name, I wouldn't have had to remark on it. I mean it did deserve attention.

OK, "D-Lite"?

Yep, we will have them in Chicago - we just don't know where.

Maybe "J-Shnizzle" will just walk around wearing a sandwich board.

Seriously though, Jaycen and I will be there, toys in tow.

J-Bone??

AND -- it's good to see dockingbay97 coming around new board! Hi-ya!

Yeah, I think that would be likely.
