Minimate HQ points us to the DST site where the lineup for the fourth and possible final wave of Battlestar Galactica Minimates has been announced. The wave is slated to include:
President Roslin with Arrow of Apollo and Zarek (Council of Twelve version I think)
Cali in deck suit and Lt Gaeta
Doc Cottle and Lab Coat Baltar
Variant: Miniseries Baltar
DST also reminds us to check out the BSG action figures coming later this Fall.
While we still don’t have an exact date yet, the latest issue of the Transformers Collector’s Club newsletter apparently notes that the 2008 convention will be in the April/May timeframe. Here is a quote from the 2005 boards:
“We are working on BotCon ’08. I can’t tell you much so far, but I can tell you that it will be in the Spring this year, sometime around the end of April, first of May. Details will be released on BotCon.com as soon as they are available.
A list of events for play in the upcoming Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Gamesfor the Wii has been revealed. The DS version is reportedly delayed until the beginning of next year.
Official word has it that the highly popular and controversial (banned in China) anime/manga series, Death Note, will be shown on Adult Swim. The series is set to premiere October 20th at midnight on Cartoon Network. New episodes will follow on a weekly basis. A press release was published the day before yesterday with more details.
TFW2005 reported a couple days ago on a few pictures that popped up on a Japanese toy board. The pictures appear to be of two packaging samples with the figures inside. One package is a two-pack featuring Classics Jetfire and Classics Grimlock. The other package is another two-pack featuring Classics Optimus Prime and Classics Ultra Magnus. Both feature Classics packaging with a pop-up display of each character in robot mode. I have attached the pictures because I’m sure my description is severely lacking, but they speak for themselves.
This will be a great chance for people who missed out on figures, particularly the Target exclusive Ultra Magnus, that was available only with Classics Skywarp.
For the regular readers, you may have noticed the site has been down for the better part of the past two days.
The reason for this was that we were served with a DMCA copyright infringement letter from an internet investigator on the behalf of Microsoft. Last month, we posted a leaked copy of the Halo 3 manual (which several commenters exclaimed that it had to be a fake). All seven of these images were listed in the email specifically by filename. Our host, who received this letter, shut the site down. When we got in contact with the host, they forwarded the letter to us. After reading the letter and getting back in touch with our host we were given a 5 hour window today to remove all traces of the images from our site.
We have done so and the site has been restored.
We are going to further review the policies of our host regarding further instances such as these and based on that, make a decision to move to a new host or not. While we are willing to comply with letters such as these when they are valid, we are more than discontented that the host decided to shut our site down for such a length of time without any type of notice before, or during the outage, until we were forced to reach out to them.
I have copied the infringement letter after the jump.
But first, Zac made a couple videos about the fall and rise of Powet.
On Friday, Marvel released a teaser image for what appears to be another Marvel event focusing on the X-Men. I’ve mirrored the image below. The only other information released with it was a date. September 10th, 2007. Thats tomorrow. Whatever this is about will most likely be announced at a Diamond event for ‘Direct Market retailers’.
Is it me, or is that Hisako (Armor from Astonishing X-Men) in the upper right corner of the teaser?
