Hate to be a downer/complainer, but I'm kinda disappointed with this boxset. I would've preferred clean-shaven eye-patch Saul. And although Kara's hair is nice, I would've preferred so many other characters and not another Starbuck. Leoben and Ellen, I'm ecstatic about.

Since wave 4 had TNG, and wave 5 had DS9, I'm thinking wave 6 will have Voy. Here's my guess:

VOY: Janeway & Borg Queen (Variant: Janeway with hair bun)

ST6: Sulu & Chang

TOS: Space Seed Kirk & Khan

While we're at it, here's my guess for wave 7:

ENT: Archer & Shran

ST2: Spock & Saavik (Variant: Valeris)

TNG: Geordi & Data

Not happy about this litte quote at all. How much rallying do the Star Trek minimate fans need to do? I wonder if the line is really in danger ...

Me neither. But I hope we'll at least be able to complete the TNG, DS9 and Voy crew in their 7th season uniforms. That way, we can just mix and match the uniforms to make movie versions. Also, WoK. I could live without the rest.

What else is there? (other than Enterprise and I want those guys.)

Well, there's TMP as well, which is in wave 5.

Here's what I'd like to see in the next waves:

Wave 5:

Col. Tigh (Eyepatch) & Ellen Tigh

Natalie Six & Cavil

Tory & Anders (Pilot)

Variant: Ellen Tigh in Six outfit (from Escape Velocity)

Wave 6:

Starbuck (S4 Hairdo - Gray tank/undershirt) & Leoben

Baltar (S4 - Robes) & Jeanne (Cult leader)

Erin Matthias (Spacesuit) & Crashdown (Gray tank/undershirt)

Variant: Eammon Pike "Gonzo" (Gray tank/undershirt)

Wave 7:

Lee Adama (Quorum member) & Romo Lampkin

Simon & Doral

Specialist Tyrol (Shaved head - Gray tank/undershirt) & Seelix (Pilot) * Nicky Tyrol accessory

Variant: Hot Dog (Gray tank/undershirt)

I really love what you guys are doing with the Star Trek minimates, however, I'm concerned that we may not be able to finish our crews for a long time yet. Do you have any plans to complete the crews faster? (ie. boxsets, release 2 waves at a time, etc) Or do we just have to practice a lot of patience? Also, I know you're not allowed to talk about your license, but do you have it for a long enough time that you would be able to complete the crews, at least the main ones?

Heh, Rad, I actually got that from mixing around my minimate pieces, then made a whole story about Lee in disguise as a Six to infiltrate the Cylons. I had him holding a Six hairpiece before to look like he just took the wig off. Hmm... I guess that sounds creepier...

Captain_cbecker, some people are still selling the instructions on ebay, and there are some who are selling the pre-built legos already. Too expensive, though.

Onyx, if you ever finish your Viper, please post pics and instructions!

I dunno if it's been mentioned already, but I just saw these pics recently and thought I'd share. Too bad there aren't any instructions to make these. But at least it's an option, since DST aren't making them.

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but there is a guy who makes guns for Lego. Could they fit on minimates? It would be cool. Here's the article: http://gizmodo.com/365757/lego-arms-dealer...rom-ak47-to-uzi

Direct link to his page: http://brickarms.com/

Will we ever see 7" scale figures of the main BSG characters like Admiral Adama (not Husker), Roslin, and Baltar? Why haven't these been made yet?

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but in the latest E-Spectrum, it says, "To date we have released Star Trek toys from six Star Trek series or films. After next month's American International Toy Fair, expect that number to jump to eight!"

Obviously, Voyager figures will be one of the 2 new ones. But I don't see DST doing any more movie figures other than WOK. Also, Playmates has the license for figures for the new movie. Is it possible that DST may have the license to do Minimates from the new movie?

It would be cool if they made a Razor Exclusive 2-Pack to go with the tv movie. I'd go for: Shaw/Young Adama or Shaw/Fisk. Or they could do a 5-pack with Cain (with hair up), Shaw, Belzen (the XO), Fisk, Gina (Computer specialist).

Wouldn't it be cool if DST made 10 box sets of Star Trek Minimates based on each movie? They could release one boxset a month. The lineup could be something like this:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Kirk, Decker, Ilia, Chapel

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Kirk, Khan, Terrell, Chekov

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

McCoy, Saavik, Sarek, David Marcus

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

1986 Kirk, Dr. Taylor, Scotty, Uhura

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

Spock, Sybok, Klaa, Vixis

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Sulu, Valeris, Gorkon, Chang

Star Trek: Generations

Kirk (white turtleneck w/vest), Picard (DS9/Voy Uniform), Soran, Guinan

Star Trek: First Contact

Picard, Data, Zefram Cochrane, Borg Queen

Star Trek: Insurrection

Worf, Beverly, Admiral Dougherty, Ru'afo

Star Trek: Nemesis

Riker, Troi, Geordi, Shinzon

MisterPL, I dunno about you, but I prefer to finish a crew before getting characters from different crews/shows. And no TNG in your first series? Blasphemy!

Hehe, sorry, bro. I'm new to minimates (just started with BSG), and thought those would make great variants. I didn't realize that the variants were rarer and more expensive to get. If it makes you feel better, I'll change them to: Picard in Captain's jacket, Guinan with different hat, FC Data without flesh parts, and Geordi without VISOR. Then again, I think some people will be annoyed to have these as variants too. I don't think you can really please anyone no matter what variants you do. Unless, of course, you change the variant ratio per case.

Great idea! Although I'm not a fan of Voyager or Enterprise. For TNG, I'd like to see:

Series 1: (7th season)

Picard and Q (Uniform)

Riker and Troi (Uniform)

Beverly and Wesley (Cadet)

Variant: Q in Judge's robes or Troi in purple jumpsuit

Series 2: (7th season)

Data and Geordi

Worf and Gowron

Guinan and Tasha (Yesterday's Enterprise)

Variant: Sela

Series 3: (First Contact)

Picard and Zefram Cochrane

Borg Queen and Data (with flesh parts)

Hawke and Borg

Variant: Locutus

Series 4: (Nemesis)

Riker and Troi

Shinzon and Romulan

Geordi and Beverly

Variant: Troi in wedding dress

Army builder wave: Borg

As for DS9:

Series 1: (7th season)

Sisko and Dukat

Bashir and Ezri

Damar and Garak

Variant: Jadzia (6th season)

Series 2: (7th season)

Kira and Quark

Worf and Martok

Rom and Nog

Variant: Intendant Kira

Series 3: (7th season)

O'Brien and Keiko

Odo and Founder

Weyoun and Jem Hadar

Variant: TNG O'Brien

I normally open all my figures up, but with the BSG mates, I had to hav them in packaging as well. Good thing I bought a case. I left one set of each unopened, but opened the rest, including the variant. I haven't regretted it yet.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Yeah, I love mixing and matching the Six and Apollo mates. And since these are my first Minimates, I really enjoy them a lot.

So, my local comic shop called me 2 weeks ago and told me they could order a case for me, so I told them, "Hell, yes!!!" And Donster was nice enough to get the FYE boxsets for me. Can't wait to get those 20 Cylons! Woo hoo! Here's a pic of my pilots:

And something I threw together on a whim:

Great customs! Love that Cottle and Doral. I hope we eventually do get them both.

I know what you mean, Donster, but where I'm from (Philippines), patience isn't always a virtue. There are a lot of collectors here, and supply for certain items are few, so if you don't get it the first time, there's a chance you may never see it again, unless you resort to ebay. It's a lot harder to ship anything from the US to here, since shipping costs are usually more expensive than the items themselves. Then again, for the mass release figures, like Marvel Legends, they're so easy to find, and go on sale a few months after, so I learned to wait for them. Unfortunately, minimates are very rare here, since not many people collect them.

Thanks. I'll do that. It's just the waiting part that I hate.

Thanks for the help, guys. I looked for cwgift's auctions, but it appears he's not selling the Cylon cases anymore. He only has series 1 for sale.

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and also to minimates. I'm a huge fan of BSG, and just recently learned of the minimates. I've been trying to track them down, and am having a hard time. Add to that I'm located in the Philippines, and it's nigh impossible for me to find them. My lcbs tells me that the BSG minimates are US only, and they won't be getting any. I've searched on some online stores and ebay, and have managed to find series 1, and pre-ordered series 2. However, I'm having a hard time finding the Cylons set. Can someone point me to any online site or auctions that still have a case available? Thanks ahead of time. I really, really want these badly.
