is it just me or do i sense a few x-files customs on the horizon?

I was wondering who the first is going to be to do a UPS or Fedex driver!

If you're looking for a cool handtruck that is close to minimate scale, checkout the UPS driver that goes with the Cubes set.

That dolly even has working wheels

These are on Diamond previews list for this week, no BSG Razor mates though. It seems like previews is a week behind, some comic stores got these last week. Is this a west coast/east coast thing like Marvel?

The West Coast/East Coast thing extends to other minimates besides Marvel. Im in the SF Bay Area, and more often than not we'd see BSG, ST and numerous other licenses (including Marvel) a week ahead. Since these showed up last week at Mainly West Coast locations such as AFX (So. Cal), Corner Store Comics (So. Cal) and Washington State, then it seems pretty likely that these are hitting the West first.

So its possible the razor sets may be out somewhere this week then, seeing as how they were a week behind with the Silience of the Lamb mates. Right?

Sure, it's possible to see Razor this week, in much the same way several outlets got Silence of the Lambs a week before the Previews Official Release. Since my set shipped from AFX (whose distribution center is in Los Angeles) last week as well reports of product at Corner Store Comics (also in So. Cal.) and Cappy getting his in Washington State, I'm thinking we're seeing the much-discussed "West Coast Phenomenon". I'd be looking for Razor in the same places this week, to see if they'll release nationally next week.

I NEED 2 KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY COMIC STORES THAT SELL MINIMATES NEAR MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, FAO SCHWARZ, OR THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING! PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU!

I visited Midtown Comics in Manhattan and picked up some Rocky minimates during my visit earlier this month.

I didn't get to stay long to browse, 'cause I was really strapped for time, but from what I could see, they had a nice store.

It's near Grand Central Station - If i remember correctly it's like 47th & Lexington. They have another shop and an internet site too. check it out.

I just got the "order has been processed and is shipping soon" e-mail from AFX.... I should see mine soon.

I've needed a new minimate fix for a while.

Does the E-Spectrum #69 say the breakdown for the Army Builder case?

Nope, just a description of the assortments - the army builder is describer as "cylons from the movie"with the "limited" Dead Pegasus Six, but we all knew that Dead Six would be short-packed in the assortment.

We're not talking about the Razor box set with Husker and Shaw, right? That one's not due until August or September, I thought.

Looks like both - those have been slated for Summer release for a while.

Nothing on Diamond's previews list again.

Regrettably, it's to be expected. It wouldn't be DST if they actually hit their release dates more often than not.

Just wondering if theres any news this week on anything---I'm starting to worry....

Looks like Fistful of Dollars just got bumbed 'til the end of July.

No Change on Silence of the Lambs. Mirror-Mirror or Razor for 6/15 and Razor army builder still set for 6/25

Has anybody heard if they are still comming out? cause they are not on Diamond Selects product list thing.....

I just checked and saw them... still availability date of 6/15.

yep that was last week. those were supposed to come out with ST mirror, and cylon razors, and fist full of dollars.

ANd we all know that DST release dates are not firm dates.... sometimes they're more like the punchline to one of those bad jokes that never seems to have an end.

Hole head Proto's FTW!

So excuse my ignorance but which one is the variant the bald one with beard or the one with the hair piece?

The not-bald one is the variant.

As for Gul Dukat - that chest piece may limit arm movement, but it's pretty darn cool and well detailed. As long as he can bend at the elbows to aim a phaser (or disruptor or whatever) and shoot something, then I'm good.

That's no Moon! It's a Space Station!

Geez - that's a nice set. $400 isn't surprising for Lego though. It's gonna be huge.

I'm a little disappointed at the not-to-scale tie fighter that they threw in there.

How about a Classic Lost In Space set.... I'd kill for a Robot minimate

Well... no minimates on this week's ship list.

These last few episodes have been really good.

I'm happy

I've been waiting to see how that would play out.

I'm also interested to see

I really like that we've seen more of the centurions... Star Wars fans or not, you gotta admit that the centurions look so much more cool and ominous than Battle Droids/Super Battle droids.

There are still plenty of loose ends to resolve before the season ends.

Any ideas what's coming out this week?

Previews hasn't updated the release list for this week.

At last look, we were expecting Silence of the Lambs, Fistful of Dollars, BSG Razor Box Set & ST Mirror-Mirror Box set. The BSG army-builder set is scheduled for next week.

That's a whole lot of minimate love for one week.

Not Heroes..... Hogan's Heroes.

Gilligan's Island would be fun too.

From the recent issue of E-Spectrum (#68):

Introducing DST Rarities

Launching on Friday May 30th, DST is excited to announce a new program designed to reward DST’s online customers by offering them some of the most rare and sought-after collectibles we’ve ever produced! With DST Rarities, every dollar spent in DST’s online store translates into points, redeemable for unbelievable finds like the extremely limited Gold U.S.S. Enterprise Ship, Santa Spider-Man Minimate and autographed collectibles!

I saw them add that Points deal to their product descriptions and was wondering where that came into play.

Since the Clint Eastwood minimates were announced, I've been re-discovering the movies (which I hadn't watched in a long time)

I was at my LCS yesterday and noticed that Dynamite Comics has started a "Man with No Name" story arc that follows the events of TGTBATU.

It's worth checking out while waiting for more Clint Eastwood/Man With No Name minimates to be released... which should be soon

AA used to have a pretty nifty site, especially when they were launching the big Enterprise figures. They used voices and music and overall did a pretty hot job, except that they rarely updated it.

The current incarnation has had sporadic news and is really a gateway for the forums.

I really hope it is a re-launch.

These were listed to come out today, because of the holiday they were delayed until tomorrow. However my LCS does not have them on their list for this week or next. has anyone else heard when these are coming out? have they been pushed back to their original date of 6-18?

DST has had the Razor Boxset, the Cylon Case, Silence of the Lambs and Fistful of Dollars all listed for 6/15 release for at least a couple months.

I'd be inclined to go with that date (or whatever the Wednesday is that week).

I don't think I've seen anything that has them out this early in June.... but we can only hope.

Edit: Forgot the Star Trek Mirror-Mirror set as well

Looks like the Cyclon case just got bumped to 6/25 on the DST website. All ofhter 6/15 dates are holding though

The new Lego "Tumbler" batmobile is also pretty cool. I bet it might not be too hard to modify the kit for minimates.

I've seen it at Toys R Us & Walmart

I finally got to watch the Fistful of Dollars DVD I got at Walmart for $5. I'd forgotten how good that was. I'm trying to watch all these agian, since it's been so long.

In my opinion, Fistful is by far the weakest of the trilogy, with TGTBATU being the minor masterpiece. I think you will be even more impressed with the sequels--then see Once Upon a Time, and be blown away.

For those looking for these on DVD - TGTBATU just showed up in the $5 DVD bin at Walmart along with Fistful of Dollars.

Now I just need to get FAFDM
