Shanester Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I this months issue of Toyfare, DSTChuck states that the classic BSG minimates line is not totally dead and may yet see retail. No promises or anything definite, but there is hope. COOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Read the article, I thought it was nice hear. I wanted the Classic Series minimates first for some reason. I want my Lucifer and Daggit! I keep being harrassed by a friend constantly "Are they making Classic BSG?" Come one DST, let the torture stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCylon9 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Well that's great to hear. I know a lot of classic fans would love to see these come out. Now, let's get them to reconsider those vehicles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Now, let's get them to reconsider those vehicles! I'm with you on that one! If anything is going to make the line even more popular it's going to be Vipers! And this article is in ToyFare #117? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdubya Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I understand DST's reservations and wanting to see how well the Modern BSG sells(pretty well from what I understand!), but I wish that they'd stop being so "cryptic" (I've had my heart broken too many times in the past with cancelled toy-lines!). I doubt (as big of a fan as I am) that the Classic could sustain it's own seperate line (though I'd personally LOVE to see it), but I think that they'd be perfect for 1-2 specialty market box-sets. My only stipulation is that it MUST contain no-less than what we've seen in previous control-art images (Adama, Apollo, Starbuck, Boomer, maybe the Daggit, Baltar, Imperious Leader, Lucifer, Cylon Centurian, and maybe a Gold Cylon Commander...though a few surprise additions would certainly be welcome: Col. Tigh, Athena, Cassiopeia, Col. Cain, Sheba, Ovion Warriors, Nomen, etc.). And yes, yES, YES we MUST have the Viper/ Raider (Classic AND Modern) vehicle asst.s; they are essential to the lines and very plausible given the small scale of minimates. Another idea occurred to me..."then and now" asst.s pairing the Modern with it's Classic counterpart (M. Adama with C. Adama for example). However, given the "stubborn" (read: silly) nature of many Classic fans to accept the Modern BSG, this may not be as good of an idea as stand-alone box-sets. Sorry about the long-ass posts, but I'm just a "little" passionate about these properties and Minimates! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Best way to market Classic BSG is probably as exclusive box sets. Hopefully Suncoast/FYE will step up to the plate (pending sales of modern BSG) and offer a set or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I have to agree that the classic line would probably benefit better from the box-set treatment than an ongoing collector series. Though the series has plenty of fans in its own right, its still not as fresh as the new series, and thus may not see as many toy collectors rushing to support the line. But then again, there's a reason I don't work in marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Seeing the vehicles get made is more important to me, but if these were available as a boxed exclusive, I'd probably pick up a set to do then/now displays, and for extra random background characters.

cylonchaney Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'll buy em all. Please make some classic characters. I have no one for my classic Cylons to attack! And yes, vehicles too. I'd buy all the ones I saw prototypes for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCylon9 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Exactly. We need guys for the classic Cylons to fight and vehicles (including the new Raptors) for both sides to fly. Without vehicles, they're just little Apollos and Starbucks floating in space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
