The Diamond Ship list shows ST Wave 4 bumped up 3 weeks to Wednesday and Fistful of Dollars pushed back to the 27th according to the DST website. Hopefully we'll see an even flow of mates thru November with Good Bad & Ugly, ST Wave 5, Rocky 3, Desperately Seeking Susan, Platoon and that cooking guy. On top of that, there's the Marvel stuff.

I'd probably watch more cooking channels if they used flame throwers more often.

I placed the order on April 1. I e-mailed at the end of last week (the Friday after they landed) and they were in the process of shipping. I think they hit the mail on Tuesday and I got them this past Thursday.

Yeah - I ordered one.

Well - this should not have come as a surprise, nor should AFX sticking it to you on the shipping. Though they sometimes seem to get things sooner than other places, I don't know how many times that they've sent me a shipping notice with an invalid tracking # or taken their time getting something in the mail. The Fistful of Dollars was the last set I ordered there - I started going to BBTS or Sci Fi Genre for all the more recent stuff

I saw the singles at stuckakid and battlestaronline.com too. Problem is that the Sixes are the hardest to get - everone is sold out of 'em and the dead one sells for a premium. I ordered them from youbuynow - they showed up yesterday. Good Luck

Nothing in Previews New Releases.... if you noticed the package in the SDCC pics, release states August 2008. Unfortunately the LCS near me that sold minimates went out of business. The others rarely orders minimates except for comic-related licenses so I've got no one to ask.

When you put it that way - maybe we're at critical mass with the Iron Man mates.... esp with the upcoming & unreleased stuff.

I would have liked to see some news on a new license or maybe some new BSG.... Sadly, of all the stuff that was discussed or shown, the Cake guy is the most exciting, largely because of the cool accessories. Not that the comic stuff isn't cool, but it's just not my thing

They have a merchandise link on their website with shirts & hats. Perhaps we'll see them there?????

I imagine that DST wouldn't be parading them in front of all-kinds of prospective buyers at SDCC if they thought they were not going to be availalbe at some retail level. Most everything that DST shows at these types of trade shows and conventions is with the intent to generate retail and distributor interest. Unless it's something that flatlines due to lack of interest like the 3rd season of 24 or the BSG vehicles etc. then I don't think it makes sense to show the product off just for the sake of show. ANd anyway... Just imagine all the grief DST Matt & Chuck would take in the next six or eight Q&A's if they just dangled this product as a teaser.... people still haven't gotten the BSG ships or SF2 worked out of their system Doh!

5 daggers (w peg hole to attach to the sash) and 2 phasers. Thanks - sounds like a good choice of accessories, but I was hoping for an Agonizer too

I can't seem to find an LCS around here that will order these, so I ordered a set at scifigenre.com. I can't wait to get me hands on them. What kinds of accessories were packaged with them?

youbuynow.com was selling the Cylon case as individuals - I didn't want to throw down for the case, so I got 1 of each at $4.95/ea. Really? I must've missed that. I'll go back and check, cause I really wanna' get my hands on those new Cylons! Especially the commander. Thanks man. I just checked and it looks like most of the set has been sold out. There's only 1 or 2 of that you can still buy. On another note, I got my Razor boxset today - these are a really nice set. I'm hoping that we get some BSG-Minimate love at SDCC. I know everyone is excited about all the cool Marvel stuff, but give me some more of the human cylons over a skrull any day of the week.

They're due out next week according to the DST website. We all know that the west-coasters sometime see product a week early (like Razor and SOTL) but that is usally limited to the western states. These are allegedly in Michigan. I suppose it's possible that he has them, but I doubt it. I'd think someone here would have stumbled across a set if they were actually out. My bet is that he's selling a pre-order as instock and gambling that they'll be on time. It's not the first time someone has tried to pull that one off. Afterall, if you were the first one to throw this onto the market, you think that you'd offer something other than the stock DST art to sell it as proof that they were in hand??

looks like DST updated their site to show both BSG sets as releasing 7/30 along w. Fistful of Dollars. ST: Mirror-Mirror still shows overdue at 6/15.

I was thinking that it might be the mystery prototype set that AFX has announced for SDCC

I don't follow Iron Man or a lot of the comic-based minimates very closely. I noticed a set at AFX that I didn't recognize as one of the AFX exclusives for SDCC or otherwise. Can someone tell me who the characters are in the set pictures in the upper left of AFX Exclusives page http://www.shopafx.com/exclusives8.html Is this going to be available at SDCC? Thanks

Nothing on the Previews ship list abour the overdue sets. Anyone hear anything from their LCS? - esp West-Coasters

My kids have Wii and Gamcube games, but I prefer First-Person shooter games on the PC. I just finished Stalker, Shadow of Chernobyl which is pretty complex and has lots of levels. I've also finished Quake 4 and Medal of Honor Allied Assault which were both pretty fun I'm looking for similar games - anyone have any suggestions?

I am so going to get into trouble for this post....but if you know/knew me you wouldn't/won't be offended. I tend to 'scan' posts on here & then come back & reply. I 'scanned' captain checker's post just days ago & read his post as 'What would you like to see?' 'How about Jews?' .....that's how I read it. OK, OK ,what's funny about that? Except that now I cannot stop imagining various ,stereotypical, 4 pack ,AFX Orthodox Exclusives. The elusive 'kosher' variant that no-one can find on ebay. Super-rabbi C3 Mini-flyer , The Synagogue Six...et ad nauseam*. I am not in any shape or form a bigot , racist or hypocrite but I just had to share it with you. Forgive me. * trans. I've been sick Well Crap! Now you've gone and done it! After that post, all I can think of is the "Jews in Space" trailer from Mel Brooks' History of the World Part I. You think DST will make the ships shown in the movie in Minimate scale?

No surprises here...

I picked up the Indiana Jones Mighty Muggs yesterday at TRU - He's pretty cool with removable hat & whip. They also had the Cairo Swordsman and Molo Ram, who comes with a flaming heart. I hear that there's already another wave planned.

How about Jaws? Jaws would make a cool boxset - I'm thinking the assortment would go something like this: Chief Brody w/ pistol and either scuba tank OR chum bucket Matt Hooper with "Shark Dart" Quint (military jacket & cap version from the early part of the movie) w/ rifle & yellow shark barrel Mayor Larry w/ gaudy nautical sportcoat (the one with the little anchors on it) I'd really like to see a set with "Bruce", but I know a giant shark would be too much to ask For an exclusive how about Chief Brody in his cop uniform w/ pistol and Hooper in scuba gear Just a thought... Jaws is such a cool movie
