damn I would kill for a 3.75" cylon! both the classic and the new one!  that'd be sweet....  that and a 3.75" scale viper.  I built a from scratch action fleet scale micromachines scale  viper but havn't tried to tackle a 3.75" scale. 

Ok, so it was the older figures that were 3.75" then that I saw... my bad

Doc, If you have access to a TRU, Some of these JOE movie figs come with some great accessories. This TRU exclusive Firefly fig has a nice satchel, backpack,pliers, maglight, rambo knife, plastic explosive bundle, jerry can, auto sub/rifle with extra clip............I might have to pick up an extra one.

Nearest TRU is 60+ miles away in a direction we pretty much never go.  I want to get the Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes and Baroness - I believe they both have trenchcoats?

They should be at all the major retailers by now, I saw a case come in last week at Kmart but passed due to finding everything at TRU a few weeks back.

My major retailer is a backwoods WalMart with two people working Toys - one just quit, the other is out on sick-leave.  No new toy freight being put out.  Y'all have seen WMs with Trek fig's on clearance - the WMs down here NEVER GOT THEM.  I don't exactly *have* a major retailer...

yeah, if you can get some proof of the sale, most WM"s will price match.

some of the other lego accessories work well too. I took an old midevil axe from my lego bin the other day.  The long spindly antenae pieces and some of the other parts work well for vehicle greeblies.  I'm going to use at least one lego antenae on a speeder bike.  I've modified at least one of the "mega blocks" brand lego police rifles into an action figure compatible gun... idk if I have apic though...

I used bionicle ball joints on my atpt custom from scratch walker too.  some of the swords and stuff work well too.
