That’s lucky bi\*ch to you. 😉

The label says Unlimited but there are no fabrics listed. It is very heavy, durable cotton and corduroy as far as I can guess, with the aforementioned metal fasteners instead of buttons, a nice patch on the arm, and two metal insignia on the collar.  
I have it for sale at [www.half.com](http://www.half.com).  
I also have a picture of it in an online album but I don’t know if I can link to it.

I shall make the appropriate notation on my list of epithets. 😃  
Does anyone know if there were ever any concept sketches of the original reptillian cylons?

Sketches I don’t know about, but there was the odd glimpse of the “Imperious Leader” sitting in the big throne (looking suspiciously like Palpatine’s… or was it vice-versa?) during the original pilot for the series.

[sub]Possibly at other times during the series, as well, but I seem to recall most of those shots as Baltar, in his “borrowed” Cylon Base Star[/sub]

Seems to me the new one is going to suck mightily and that’s a shame. Done correctly, Universal could have their own space franchice, a’la Star Trek for Paramount and Star Wars for Fox, but they’re fucking it all up. That’s a shame.
