Well, I checked with MichLUG, and participating members did indeed get these (the annoying thing is that I was attending meetings, but didn’t help with a show until October, so I missed out). Oddly, they are not listed anywhere that I could find on either Bricklink or Peeron.

   The extra weight of the two Mini-Figs should be avoided. Assuming they are still there, not melted aleady, then burry them until Fed-Ex sets up shop.

Sneak a pair of Jar-Jar minifigs along with your luggage to keep the weight roughly similar, and you’re golden. The bit about melting is a valid concern, though. How hot does it get on the solar side of Mars? ABS is toast if it ever hits 300 degrees or more. Maybe they sent metal minifigs?
