    I have my originals from when I was a kid. Have picked up extras here and there of used figures and ships mixed in with lots that I've bought, but the prices on ebay for MIB always seem way out of proportion to even consider collecting these for display.
    It's all good!

      I had all of them (except the Galactica--which WAS released up here) and still have them. Most still in the boxes. I also still have all the first wave figures, including carded ones.....and a 12" Cylon who is missing the lightup part of his gun, but otherwise is complete.

        I've got all of the small figures carded except for Baltar, who is loose. This includes my MOC Gold Cylon, one of my gems. I was one of those kids who had the first six figures the day they came out, but never got a chance to buy the second series, like many other toys at that time, they apparently never came to good ole Scranton, PA. I didn't even know about the second series until my first toy show in the 80s. Then I HAD to have them. A great line made better by the great card art.

          They were always a littel bigger than the Star Wars figures if I remeber right,only remeber having a couple.Picked up a Daggit acouple years ago at a flea market for a buck.Couldn't leave him just sitting there,he needed a home.

            I thought about collecting this line over the years, but just never got started.

              I do love the card art on the figures. I forgot to mention that I have the Space Alert game in the box, too.

              I had found this website a few years back and like looking through it every now and again.

                  I don't do the 3 3/4" line but I have a few of the missile firing small ships and a boxed 12" Cylon.

                    I have all the smaller figures still on card, plus the variants, Gold/Silver Cylons, and both color daggits.

                    I also have the remote control cylon ship still boxed, and the Galactica launching/firing ship set, still in box (uses rubber-bands to fire viper ships off the deck). And of course the model kits of the Base Star, ships, etc.

                    I just don't have the larger figures, as I never cared for that scale of figures.

                      I found 4 of the missile firing vehicles MIB at the flea market a number of years ago. Still have them on the shelf.

                        I would've loved to collect BSG toys but I just cannot get into those small figures. They just make me go, "Meh".

                          I just found my plush Talking Daggit today. He's been packed away for ages, and is not only in good shape, but barked on first pull!

                          Any idea what he's worth? Is he hard to find? Don't see any listings anywhere.

                              I could have sworn the gold Cylon was also sold as an exclusive in either J.C. Penny or Sears Christmas catalog
