Peter.............
do we know any update on this? For example, have you heard anything about response to this?

peter noble · August 24th, 2005, 04:28 PM

I've heard nothing Julix, to tell you the truth, but that doesn't mean to say it hasn't been noticed, the CFF campaign was noticed by a number of "suits".

There is a phase two, one of the Fantastic Four is cooking up a trailer to promote the TOS, so until that appears in its final form phase two can't be launched.

Warrior came up with some very good ideas for continuing the campaign, but we'd need some capital and volunteers to put it into operation.

Best,

Peter

Has there been any more talk about a serious coordinated effort for people to pass these flyers around at con? I’m sorry right now here in Korea I can’t do much but I know a lot of you back in the states and the U.K. attend cons.

I swear if I get that Cylon suit next year I’ll become a con whore.

Well... MikeDX posted he was going to the Netherlands con, and I posted asking him to take some flyers to it. Dunno if he will or not.

Jon, if I had a Cylon suite I'd fly over and join you.

I was just thinking tonight of what our stand would be like – a bit like the G's bridge, battleship grey with that rivet trim and mock workstations playing Erik's promo trailer. It'd be sweet!

Throw in some pesky Colonial Warriors and you've got a raging battle at the con.

Warrior,

I don't yet know how much involvement I will have at the convention. I might be part of the crew, might not. But I will be happy to pass them out when I have time and lay them out when I don't.

If you want black and white copies, I can take that image, resize to 8x10, and photocopy at work. If you can resize for me, it might be better quality, and you can email it to me.

If you want color, someone needs to mail them to me as my printer sucks. If so, pm me for a mailing address.

This con will include mostly Dutch, Germans, a few British, and other assorted Europeans. Maybe get some new blood involved...

But I'm happy to do what I can for the effort.

Thanks,
Mike

And I would love to have a link from someone as to where I could Purchase the WHOLE DAMN KIT AND KABOODLE including 1980.

I was going thru my VHS collection of UNLABLED tapes so I could simply label them and found "War of the Gods" part 1 and 2 and also the episode where they start it off in one of the old Celestial chambers that Apollo refurbished (one of my most favorite episodes)

Aaaahhhhh I'm lovin it............can't wait to get the WHOLE Collection on DVD

I think the episode your talking about is (The Hand of God)

And here is an audio continuation that has some flash backs that includes that scene then continues 20 yahrens later.

Well since I’ve pretty much decided what my Cylon Solution is going to be I thought I resurrect this important thread. I’ll be purchasing a TOS Cylon replica suit for the price of an arm and leg to be used in my Fan Films. Although I’m not a con attendee normally I plan to wear the suit at cons I can get to and hand out color copies of the flyer. I know some place where other crazed loons own Cylon suits I will approach them about doing the same.

Hey thats awesome Sept. And just in time for Halloween too.

The Direct-to-DVD campaign for TOS Battlestar Galactica inspired Trekunited to do one for Star Trek: Enterprise, based on the trailer CFF made we made a trailer that went for two minutes of CGI action while also promoting a Direct-to-DVD petition that so far has gathered 9200 signatures

I'll post a link up for the Enterprise Direct-to-DVD trailer shortly so people here can see it
