Twisted Two-Face Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Not to change the subject, but could i request a few more pics?? Preferably one of Kara standing to get a better view, one of John Cavil, Five, and D'anna. Much appreciated. And i sent a PM to Matt after hearing about the Box Set Exclusives. I really hope that it's some 4-pack released soon, instead of the awful Ult. Avengers hassle. I really want it soon, though, because i planned on ordering the DVD Complete Series tongight from Amazon with 2-day Free Shipping so i could watch Season 3 by Thursday and have a big, 7" Cylon. Damn; DST always finds a way for us to spend hundreds of dollars on Minimates, don't they?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/forum/v...pic.php?t=14922 "BSG complete dvd box set with exclusive minimates. He said what it was but i missed it." Maybe he just heard them wrong. As far as I know it is just an action figure. 7" Cylon, but not sure what type of Modern Cylon. Even the teaser pictures of the box set only show an action figure. Minimates would be awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Paco Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I live in Bloomington/Normal, IL. I went to our TRU today and got all of Wave 1. I found them in the isle with the Terminator figures. The Star Trek items were the next isle over along with Marvel minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/forum/v...pic.php?t=14922 "BSG complete dvd box set with exclusive minimates. He said what it was but i missed it." That's got to be some sort of misunderstanding (though I'd love for it to be true) about the DST 7" Cylon. He probably heard that the return of BSG 'mates (TRU's) would coincide with the box sets release (both in July...aprox.). I plan on getting this set anyway, but if by some miracle Minimates were involved I'll definitely hold-out for that promotion! And i sent a PM to Matt after hearing about the Box Set Exclusives. And I truly hope you get a response quickly, though I'm taking this rumor with a grain of salt as I'm sure we would have heard something about this earlier (especially if the release date is end of July) if it were true. I just find it inconceivable that news of this wouldn't have been leaked through pre-orders somewhere. I'd sooo love to be wrong about this though!

minimadman Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I found a good use for the Apollo head that does not look like Jamie Bamber. Have you guys seen the Starz show Party Down? Well with a a couple pieces from Batcave Bruce Wayne you get the main character Henry. Are we having fun yet? \ Here is a pic for reference. Aside from eye color it is pretty spot on.

dr baghead Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Lots of new DST stuff (Role Play Tricorder, Communicator & Phaser) at my TRU in the SF bay area - but no new mates... Hey! I just noticed your location we most likely hit up the same TRU's... EDIT on 6/30: Hey Captain, hit the Concord TRU if you get the chance, they got the BSG wave 1 in (minus the 3 packs I grabbed) Edited June 30, 2009 by dr baghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSIxidor Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I found some BSG mates at the TRU in Lewisville, TX (Why didn't I preorder!?) Got Doral/Stealth C, Cavil/Tylium C, and Apollo/D'Anna They all look great, but be careful with Apollo's helmet, mine was a bit too tight and took me a good while to get back off.

HRGMann Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 They all look great, but be careful with Apollo's helmet, mine was a bit too tight and took me a good while to get back off. I had the same issue. I put his head on D'Anna's body and was able to get the helmet off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patox Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm sick of going to Toys R Us. There's still no stock at my local TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm sick of going to Toys R Us. There's still no stock at my local TRU. I gave-up constantly driving there. While many CS reps. are incompetent, you'd be better off calling in advance to see if they've arrived. I finally got one helpful rep. that informed me that they had just arrived at the warehouse, but have not been issued to my local stores yet. Still, it's good to know that someone in my area will be receiving these very soon; I can relax a bit and save some gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm sick of going to Toys R Us. There's still no stock at my local TRU. I know, right? It's exactly what corporate wants us desperate toy hunters to be doing, in the hopes we'll break down and buy something else. But I think the actual store staff is getting a little sick of seeing me every other day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRGMann Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 It's funny to see the disparity between different stores in the same geographical area. There are 2 stores in Richmond, VA. Both stores got 1 case each of the BSG mates last Wednesday. The one from which I picked up my set had not gotten any of the series 2 Marvel mates, the other store got their's when other stores first started getting them in. Now, a week later, the store that I didn't get the BSG mates from still has the entire case hanging on a single peg, about as high up as you can get up the merchandise display, above the other figures. Maybe the people who want them can't reach them? I find it hard to believe that I'm the ONLY person in the area that collects these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm also getting really isck of going. I mean, i never went into TRU, unless it was for a cousins birthday, after i turned 10. And here i am, 16, going right back in. It's really awkward; i'm usually thinking "okay, let's see. No one staring at the tennager going into the toy store to buy a lot of action figures?? No?? Whew; let's make this fast." Can't imagine what it's like for all of you. Well, i usually get things one-two weeks after they're posted (which is unfair, but i digress ), so Friday may in fact be the day i get the perfect Minimate; D'anna, for those not following TTF's posts. I have really high hopes for Friday, besides her, though. Hopefully they get in another case of Marvel Wave 3, which i can grab a BE/MS from, buy almost-every pack of BSG (yes, i army-build a lot. Sue me for stopping other people for buying all but a Starbuck and Adama; i want BSG warfarers!!), and then go next door to Blockbuster and rent Fanboys. I expect a good day.

TITAN Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Now, a week later, the store that I didn't get the BSG mates from still has the entire case hanging on a single peg, about as high up as you can get up the merchandise display, above the other figures. Maybe the people who want them can't reach them? I find it hard to believe that I'm the ONLY person in the area that collects these. I'll take a set, if you could pick them up for me.

groundhog7s Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Can't imagine what it's like for all of you. I have kids so I get less stares. Maybe in a few years you can hide behind the same crutch as me and let people think the toys are for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark knight Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I found these yesterday in Lafayette, IN. They were in the Star Trek section, and I almost missed them. I didn't have money for all of them, so I bought Adama/D'Anna & Cavil/Tylium Cylon cuz they only had one of each left. I left behind 3 Adama/Cylon, 2 Starbuck/Leoben & 2 Doral/Stealth Cylon sets. Hope they have them left when I get paid tomorrow! tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) That's funny because I was just up there on Saturday and bought the same two sets (they were extras for me). I don't go to that TRU much, but I didn't realize I had some Minimate competition there. Edited July 1, 2009 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 They're on shelves in Greenville, NC. They're on one of the Marvel Minimate pegs, to be precise. Seeing that I've already bought just about all of these I'll ever need from the website, I imagine a great deal of my store's excess stock will be making the voyage to Limited Edition so some of our overseas friends can have a shot at them.

patox Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 TRU in Almaden Valley, San Jose has a single peg filled with wave 1. After harassing the poor TRU employees for the last 2 weeks, I finally got the toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Just back from TRU... nothing in the McF/DST catchall aisle. I was about to leave (yes, pouting, huffing and stomping my feet), when I spotted a freshly stocked endcap full of the little buggers! Right next to some kind of portable karaoke CD player for girls. Why didn't I look there first? Sadly, Moonstone and Bullseye still elude me. Damn, now I'm starting to freak out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
