quick ?...is the Cylon that comes w/ the initial release of the complete series any different then the carded release...I've tried to get clarification via reviews and such, but have never been able to get a solid answer. Thanks in advance any help!

From everything Ive seen it looks a little more battle worn. The initial carded was very clean this one from what I recall is slightly less. I havent been able to determine if theres any other minor changes because i havent picked it up yet just seen it in the store.

He is similar to the damaged Cylon 2 pack that was released, but with the original Cylon head. He has the sculpted damage on the chest in 2 sections, but includes painted on bullet holes in various places. Something that hasn't been done on any Cylon figure. Here is the best picture I could find of him. It's dark, but you can see the damage; and you can click on the original size of the image for a much closer look.

Chuck seems to be sick of hearing the name Laura Roslin!

Interesting... and great news! I've been waiting to ship my pile of loot for awhile, it may be time real soon!

Received my Boomer & Athena today, they look good but when you put them next to the TRU New Caprica Boomer they start to look funny, their heads are so much bigger.

[Artistix]

Able to take any pics eti?

I think its just the New Caprica Boomer who is the oddball, as the head is small by comparing to the rest and the skin colour used is unique to this figure as well.
One more thing if you look at the raptor helmet, they have chosen to go with a light green colour for it

[reverie]

Very cool, thanks for the pics! I can't wait to get mine!!

[Artistix]

Thanks for the pics. Both Sharons look really good.

[J C R]

I received mine yesterday and Athena is by far one of my favorites of the entire line. Too bad it is coming to and end!! It has been a good run though. I'd still like to see Roslin, Tory, Cavill, Doc, Ellen and D'Anna, but overall I am very pleased.

I think they should have done more relationship 2-packs like Apollo & Dualla

[Kyp Durron]

I still can't believe they never bothered with any ships, they have no idea how much money they missed out on making.

Hey, did anyone order the Sharons from Corner Store Comics? I keep waiting for a shipping notice, and their site still has the figures listed as a preorder. 'Course, they never got back to me about changing my order for the old series 4 to the new series 4 either, so I may be done with them. *sigh*

They are bad about getting back in touch with you about things. Also watch your credit card statement because two out of three times that I have ordered from them my card number was stolen and charged over $500 each time. Of course they say that there servers are secure and that it must have happened somewhere else but I know it didn't. Quite a few other people have made complaints about the same thing as well. I have just decided to stay away from them.

[Dr. Crusher]

Oh wow, really? 'Cause my credit card number WAS stolen last year, and I never did figure out where they got it. I actually wondered if it was from BBTS, 'cause I'd ordered from CSC before and had just placed my first order with BBTS. Guess not.

Great. Now I hope they DON'T ever put that order through. Thanks for the heads up!
