AdyCarter Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Cheers mate, good to know. I take it Capric means chrome? Anyone care to enlighten me just where the Black Cyclon was in Classic BSG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Excellent News, Thanks Xy I would take that packaging style, looks good to me. Can't remember the Stealth Cylon myself. They have made them in regular Action Figure form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatta Pake Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Couldn't the other four be regular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 That crossed my mind too, but there only 5 types per case and 5 are listed, In classics case "three slvr" is the regular and in modern "three slsh hnd" are the regular.

Amazing.JL Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 It is confusing reading the retailers order form. I have For Classic 1 Gold 1 Black 1 Chrome 3 Silver 2 Battle Damaged 4 ? For Modern: 1 Capric 1 Battle Damaged 1 Bloody 3 Slash Hands 2 Dual Cannons 4 ? Apparently they are sorting the vairances between the assortments the same. I doubt the rest will be random or possibly another fig. I think they may have possibly made a typo and actually meant 6 Battle Damaged Classic Cylons and 6 Dual Cannon Modern Cylons. They should be the most common figures in the assortment. btw here is the advert page in Previews for those that don't get it. Click Here.

cdubya Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 My guess would be: 1 chrome 1 chrome 1 gold 1 bloody 1 stealth 1 bttl. dam. 4 bttl. dam. 4 gun-hand 5 silver 5 slash-hand although it would have been nice to have more damaged "modern" Cylons than just one, as the regular line releases will undoubtedly be plain silver (they'd better come with BOTH sets of hands though!!). It seems that the "chromes" are the superfluous chases that serve no purpose other than to be exclusive, however, I'm kinda' disappointed that the "classic" gold commander is only one per case as it seems that many people (who are interested in this line)would want one. Hopefully, these lists are all wrong and we can get at least 2 (classic) gold, and 2 (modern) battle-damaged. Six figures with a limited-run of 500 each seems a bit extreme. I'm glad I ordered a case of each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I'm gonna side with JL here (as long as we're playing deduction) -- the count of each figure increases as the list progresses, so the last ones (Battle Damaged / Double Canon) are probably supposed to be a larger number, like 6.

Fujis Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I was just over at AFX and it says that the Cylon cases only contain 8 figures - is that correct?! Xy, can you confirm that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Really Strange and makes no sense unless there was a change, but I don't think so. The Previews Retailer form states 12 minimates per case for both series. It was the same i believe on the on-line form. They are just posting off the typo on the order form.

TBT! Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Chuck at DST said they were packed in 12's.... He's always cagey about sharing anything that's not 100% I'd take that as gospel, unless you have direct proof otherwise. The only obvious explanation for AFX is if they are repacking cases. T.

Fujis Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 The only obvious explanation for AFX is if they are repacking cases. Can they do that?! I mean, isn't the whole point of buying a case to get the entire assortment? It must just be a typo but I've fired an email off to AFX anyway...

Cappy Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Okay, I need help from a BSG fan (I know, I know... I'll catch up to the show eventually...) concerning the modern cylon case. There's a chrome cylon, which DST lists as "Capric". Why? Also, in his definitive list (as always, thanks for those) Lurch lists "Valley of Darkness" and "Downloaded" cylons. Why? Which of those two is the chrome one and which the bloodied cylon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The "Valley of Darkness" is the "bloodied" one. I think that the "Down-loaded" one may be the "battle-damaged"one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 The 8 pack thing might make more sense if we look at the first few posts in this thread... http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...ost&p=12942 Specifically hints at an 8 packed case, so maybe there will be both.

Reideen1313 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 So, is it 8 or is it 12? Keep in mind, these are single packed figures. If it's 12, $4.33 each (USD) for the preorder at Stuckakid isn't such a bad deal IMO. If it's 8, $6.49 each is a shitty price - no fault of Stuckakid mind you, they have to make a profit - shitty of AA for raising the prices that much and expecting fans to just accept it. Can anyone officially confirm which is correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I got confirmation from AFX that it's 12. Here's the email: Hi, the manufacturer has confirmed it is now a case of 12. Our price will stay the same at $44.99 per case of 12. Sincerely, AFX www.shopafx.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Thanks for confirming that Fujis. $44.99/12 breaks down to about $3.75 each, which is reasonable for army building imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'd double check the shipping price though as we all know that's where AFX tends to gouge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I just checked AFX on the shipping for one case of modern. To my zip (52241), their site says UPS Ground is not available, but UPS 2nd Day Air is for a hefty $23.10. I'll stick with my Stuckakid preorder, thank you very much!
