cylonchaney Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Got an email from Stuckakid saying that the Classic BSG Boxsets will be shipping next week. I can hardly wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Just got that, too. I wonder if anything else will be moved up? Odd, though, that a lot of other online retailers got BSG Modern wave 4 and Trek wave 3 in already, but not Stucka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I am so glad I got a nice, fat tax return this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Got my email too. Damn it's raining 'mates! I can't wait for these. Now we just need some info. on those Viper and Raiders (thought we'd hear something at ToyFair). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I am so glad I got a nice, fat tax return this year. No kidding. Now if only the damn thing would get here, I'd be set. I can't wait to get these. Wife's gonna roll her eyes - this is the third shipment in what? 3 weeks? :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 are these coming to LCS this week as well? I was wondering because mine still has not gotten wave 4 and st wave 3. well I guess I will have to call tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxcarnage Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 just called my LCS they are getting them! but still no sign of BSG 4 and ST 3, had anyone gotten these at their LCS or have they only been coming through AFX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to use the $$ for other things, oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As thrilled as I am that we finally got these, I just wouldn't be a fan without a bitchy-critique: *It seems that the two belts (left and right; as the proto.s shown) exceeded the budget and got axed. If only one were possible, I'd have gone with the "righty" (more characters were right-handed) as "Ultimate Wolverine's" belt could have been utilized by "nit-pickers" like myself for the left. Though it is cool that they acknowledged that Apollo (and Athena...for customizers) is a "south-paw". *I was really hoping that the piping-details (collar and wrists) would get the checkerboarded (gold/black, silver/black) treatment. I realize that they are really tiny, but important details like this would have really enhanced the over-all appearance of these. *The "Colonial Warrior" boots could have been a bit taller as well as had the shin-pad and side-buckles details added. *And lastly, I was really hoping that Starbuck's sleeves would at least match the color of the "warrior's" chestpieces for part-swapping customs. Regardless, I can't wait to receive mine, though it looks like I have quite a bit more work than I had anticipated before I have the perfect 'mates that I had envisioned. Please bretheren (despite my negative comments), buy these-up so that maybe we'll see those Viper and Raider (Classic and Modern) Mini-Flyers!! The future of cool stuff like this depends on our support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future of cool stuff like this depends on our support. I'm doing my part. I've got two of each on order from Stuckakid and will probably get at least another Colonial pack if not both locally. I love these guys! Man do I wish there were ships for them to pilot though. PS Boomer's gun is on the right. It's just that he's got one huge-ass set of keys clipped to the left side of his gunbelt but you can't see this detail on a figure as small as a minimate. There, feel better now?

No. The only thing that might appease my anguish is if they sculpted the clips and buckle on the other side too so you could at least reverse them...or a surprise announcement that Mini-Flyers (Classic and Modern) are coming this Summer! Well, I'm waiting.......anyone?.......*cricket*.........(sigh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm waiting.......anyone?.......*cricket*.........(sigh). Bitch and moan, bitch and moan. You mean something like this? It turns out they sculpted the belt in mirror fashion on a lateral axis. Meaning, if you turn it around, it acquires a right-handed hang. Of course, this had to happen right away: And skynet, yes the guns are new sculpts.

maxcarnage Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Anybody gonna post pics of the Cylon Empire boxed set? meeh, I passed on that set. I really don't like it when mates have that full dress piece and you can't move the legs. just look at Saruman, man was he ever a sucky mate and then they put him in a two pack with Wormtongue (who has the same dress) then there was this pack again 2 mates that have that same dress peice. while the cyclons were cool it could not tip the scales back into its favor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Work 4 Mates Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 thecow55 and I copped both sets today. I have to say I am continually impressed by the quality of the design in these BSG mates. Good Job DST! WW4M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_dm Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Grabbed these sets at my LCS the other day (gotta love store credit ) Even though I'm more of a fan of the newer BSG series, these mates are pretty neat. It's cool that we now know we can get animals out of the normal mate body... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
