Chaapaaiguy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Here's the thing.... I was thrilled yet strangely depressed when I saw the the pics of the Retro Galactica packs, Why? I hear you ask... Because, They come with Starbuck in his dress finest and not his regular Colonial uniform, G.U.T.T.E.D! Will anyone else be buying more than one Colonial pack In order to have a Starbuck with a flight uniform and an Apollo with a dress uniform? Any other ideas circulating about retro custom jobs out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 hell i'm ordering a case to do what you suggested but to have a play around with the modern stuff!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllStarMatt Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I guess you'll just have to buy two sets and make both versions of Starbuck and Apollo. Who wouldn't want two daggits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_cbecker Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I guess you'll just have to buy two sets and make both versions of Starbuck and Apollo. Who wouldn't want two daggits? It wouldn't be the first time I've doubled on on purchases to make some body-head switch quick customs... I think I actually bought triples of the boomer/cylon set so I could use the Boomer head to make a uniform and a casual Boomer along with the Flightsuit version that came in series 2. Congrats to DST Matt for that proposal (and a little blatant marketing) to keep those sales up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'm ordering at least 3 of each. One for the set, one to switch Starbuck with Boomer and Adama with David Palmer head/hands(24 boxset 1) for a Col. Tigh custom, and one to switch Starbuck with Apollo and Adama with Nina Myers head/hands(again, 24 boxset 1)+ new hair for an Athena custom. That leaves two extra "pilot" bodies for possibly a Sheba, Athena(viper pilot), Jolly, Greenbean, BoJay or Col. Cain customs. BTW, Kim Baur's head/hands (Wow I'm getting alot of mileage out of that 24 boxset!) would make a decent Cassiopeia custom. I have a sneaking suspicion that we may still see the "Classic" Viper and Raiders eventually (if sales are good) to go along with the Modern "armada" hinted before, so that could provide some more Colonial Warrior bodies for customs ("ship of lights" white duds for Apollo, Starbuck and Sheba would be cool). Maybe Starbuck(pilot) will replace the previously planned Apollo since he isn't getting an "official" figure in the boxset? I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with all the Daggits (and Adama heads..."Ponderosa" mates anyone?). While I'm not sure yet about getting multiples of the "Cylon Empire" set, I would really like to have a few extra Lucifers; one in his gold robes and one as his nemesis Specter (gray and maroon stripes). I'm counting on a Raider release to fill-out my Centurian ranks (May the Lords of Kobol provide them...*dork*). I'm too excited about these! Now, I've got to get back to work on that LEGO/Megabloks LandRam that I abandonned so long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 just saw pics of these and I quite like them. My better half is a fan of classic BG and when she saw them I was told I was buying them. It was ohh ahh proper cylons, I haven't heard noises like that since I bought them novelty elephant briefs Sorry to hijack the thread but seeing as DST posted he could have at least popped over to the marvel board and clued us up on what the heck is happening.

cylonchaney Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 If they release the vipers they'll need to come with a pilot. Maybe it's Starbuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 If they release the vipers they'll need to come with a pilot. Maybe it's Starbuck. That's what I'm thinking (hoping). I never really liked the idea of the Viper coming with Apollo (as originally planned for the classic) as he was the only left-handed character on the show. I plan on customizing my extras and would prefer the gun-belts to be the "standard" right-handed; I'm kind of an obsessive detail-geek like that!
