Sounds like you had a fun exciting time. Did you get any photos of the stars, and what about this Cylon. Was it a wearable suit? Anything else about the Cylon would be great also.tmi wrote:I went with the kids today. We met Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict, Herbert Jefferson Jr., and Jack Stauffer. My son was wearing his classic BSG cylon and raider t shirt I picked up in Seattle at the Sci Fi Museum. They all signed his shirt and didn't ask for money ( although it was late in the day and I know they were charding $25 for a signature. )
They were all very chatty. Richard talked about and upcoming BSG feature film in the works and also insisted Blood and Chrome was going to come. Jack Stauffer is in a wheel chair and had the least to say. Dirk talked to us for about 15 minutes. He said he did not see the
A Team movie remake and seemed to want to talk more about the Ateam series. He was meticulous about signing the t shirt and wanted to make sure my son was happy with it. He noticed my younger son was wearing a soccer team shirt ( we had just come from his game). He told us that his son is a professional soccer player in Belgium. He then gave my son all kinds of soccer tips. We then met Herb Jefferson. He said he had a whole system for signing shirts and didn't need my son to take it off. After, he asked if either of the boys wanted a signed photo ( he told me there was no charge). They declined, then he asked me if I wanted one. I told him "no thanks you've really been kind enough" and he said, "are you sure?". With that I lifted my sweater to reveal my Cylon tshirt and said, "well if you insist". He burst out laughing and siad he wished he had that on video. He signed my shirt and sadly now I have to frame it!.
They all said they wished they had more time to explore the city but were doing 10 hour days and leaving for airport right after the show.
We then met Peter Mayhew ( Chewbacca) and Ryder Windham at a panel interview. The que was longer than the interview ( which was moderated by someone from geek.com and the small audience didnt get to ask questions.
There was a toy collector a few aisles over selling a really bad, beaten up gold cylon. the price was ,marked down to $1000 but he said to make an offer.
Sounds like a Kropserkel suit. $1000 with a rifle, and sword in gold is a good price. Thank you very much.tmi wrote:I got a photo of Richard signing the shirt. I usually dont like asking celebs for pics.
The cylon was wearble. looked liek it didnt have electrics. it was a vacuform kit with a gold taped helmet. Single cup shoulder pieces. The belt was just caps on a web belt.the boots were rubber mud boots poorly painted. the under suit appeared to be a rubber and the leather accents were maybe some type of hard board ( or just brittle from age) and didnt have a skirt. The sword was plastic ( like a kids toy). Rifle looked ok except for the broken bayonet.
should have grabbed a pic of it, but got distracted
