I for one am totally happy that these were made, they are probably my favorite line. The bitter taste that was left in my mouth was from all the deception about the line being cancelled, etc. I actually considered to stop collecting mates when they said they were cancelling these. Remember when these were gonna be released as a wave 5 and 6. Then Diamond needed a deal with Toys r Us. Toys r Us said they wanted figures that had vehicles ( I think this was said in one of the Q & A's), so I believe thats when Diamond told us all these were canceled. Then a couple months down the road they announced the deal with TrU, and told us all about them "resurrecting" the line---the rest is history.

I believe from the last set of q & a's, that they will be released, but it will probably be the last ones they make.

The box pictures are up now at art asylum! http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2009/09/not-...-war-minimates/

spin his head around, he came with 2 faces.---a pretty cool feature i think...

So does anybody know where all the stickers are suppose to go?? I know where the names go, but I'm not sure about the rest... is there pictures anywhere with them all on the ships?

Maybe sales are good and TrU wants to do another wave or something...who knows

Do they send a tracking # with each shipment, or how does it work? I have 3 sets that have been located in stock for days now with "anticpated delivery" between the 26th and 28th, and I'm wondering if they are really being sent within that delivery time span???...

They have new pics of the next wave up on AA site---with Molecule man and Spiderwoman included! http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2009/08/mini...r-the-4th-time/

Well, it looks like wave 2 is processing. I recieved an email that 3 of the sets are being sent.... I guess the other 2 will ship seperatly. Finally the wait is almost over for these!

The Viper & Raider packaging pics are up now too on AA's site.

Wave 2 packaging pics are up on AA site now.

Finally, pics of these guys in the package, not much longer and they shall be my hands!!! There were doubts that these would ever happen, and I for one am very grateful they have!

pics are up on art asylum now for 27.

I'll wait to hear concrete word on this before I get to bummed about it.

I think that the final wave and flyers are a lock to hit retail. Past that I doubt anything else is produced. I agree with ya both, and according to latest Q & A posted on AA today wave 2 will be in stores soon and he said somethng about the package shots for the flyers being up soon too---so thats pretty good confirmation, and it eases my mind about wave 2!

Maybe they could do a wave or two of few old characters mixed with the new the t.v. series that coming up too...who knows.

So is anyone as happy as me that by the end of the month, hopefully, we will finally have all the skin jobs! It totally excites me to finally have almost every main character from my favorite show!!!

mine are also on the way ---- to be delivered Wednesday ---- oh happy day! :biggrin:

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.

It is of consequence insofar as Minimate collectors hoping for future vehicles might now expect them (if they ever come) to look like bumper cars. I don't know if anyone here was really "complaining" about these, though, so much as questioning/criticizing DST's decision to release dull-looking figures that probably won't sell. A minimate is a minimate---I'll buy them all. As far as the BSG Mates are concerned, I'm more excited for these guys than any almost any other minimate produced so far. Even if I wasn't into these as much as I am, I'd still buy them cuz they are minimates. I've bought almost every mate there is, and I have no idea who half of the marvel characters are (thank god for wiki), but I still buy them, and don't complain so the line keeps going and everyone can maybe get what they hope for someday!

check out Toys R Us website---series 2 is up along with a couple of ships for our mates! whoo hoo!!!

Cool, thanks for setting me straight!

Isn't that Natlie pictured and not D'anna? Nope. Natalie wore all black and this is D'anna from Season 3 when she Of course, this is just because my fav character is D'anna, and my fav Six was Natalie, however short her part was. Some things ya just gotta know. I dunno-I guess I always thought minimate in black was D'anna, and the white one was Natlie. The one in black looks more like Lucy Lawless... http://www.youbuynow.com/item/BSG_Minimate...t_Variant_Simon

Isn't that the Natlie mate they have pictured, not D'anna?
