Love hearing about all the different ways people engage with the franchise and how it translates to collecting priorities. Big IDIC energy

Definitely my case too. Trek is one of my favourite things in life, but I don't have a single TOS figure on my shopping list. It's Movie Maroons or nothing for Kirk & crew, and after Saavik I only want TUC Kirk, Spock and Scotty. SNW will rep the TOS era in my collection instead.

🖖😊 If it's removable, that's probably just where the magnets connect.

Sir, you honour me with that distinction lol I'm reserving specific raves* until we get some proper shots (not that she isn't already a minute-one PO), but right now I'm well and truly on a cloud of "Is this real life? There's really gonna be a 1:6 T'Pol? And she might even go up for PO soon?"...

At best, it depends on the merchant; loyalty points and free/cheaper shipping. Your patience for completed crews is an advantage though. I'm buying on a character-by-character basis so I generally want every order as soon as it drops lol. I waited 7 months post-release to get Capt. Archer via...

T'Pol tease! Considerable improvement over what we've seen before, even blurred. God I hope she goes up for PO soon. Having Archer and Shran already, she's the only figure causing me "oh no what if [random calamity not uncommon to this hobby] happens and I don't get her" anxiety lol

Enough to be worth it? I mean demand for TNG is a no-brainer, but I can't see S1 figures having much of a market beyond double-dippers, or latecomers who missed whatever crew members when they were available the first time around. But, S1 unis are a hard pass for me though (I'd skip the...

Omg when will he stop pushing these horrible unwanted figures on me, I am truly duped and victimized

Weyoun!

It's great when the cheaper option covers one's needs eh? I got away with that on Sisko, but I love the Captain's Jacket option for JLP. I was bummed they didn't do a Captain's Wraparound for SNW Pike as well.

Absolutely. I'm still chuckling about that one dude in the TOS thread calling Trek a "dead franchise". If anything they're risking over-saturation again. :P

Agreed. I would already PO at this point and this isn't even a final.

And the unbelievably asinine suggestion that people are being suckered into buying figures they don't want just because they're not releasing TOS yet. Big Main Character Syndrome energy.

You have a point, which is why I don't get how they keep making new content in the TOS era. However, I think a 1701-G series would feel like a very appropriate direction to go in terms of the franchise's early embrace of generational continuity. New crew, new Enterprise, new century, all on the...

That's exactly what I took away from it. He's just talking about having to absorb the expense of shipping samples back and forth in order to avoid a delay. That's also what they did with the production sample of Odo; He was ready to ship, but Nanjin hadn't seen a finished one yet. They shipped...

...and the Trek stuff was some of DST's better work 😅

Aye, DST Ezri was a chase figure. Intentionally shortpacked compared to the others in her wave, just a lousy trick to pump wholesale volumes really. I was right on top of those on release, but I still missed her. I gave up on getting one for a decent price (the figure itself doesn't even look...

ENT's problem is the first half was basically another 2 seasons of Voyager ("we're on our own out here and gosh there sure are a lot of jerks"). The approach used for season 4 should've been season 1; show us how the Federation came to be. Too little too late as they say. That said, I love it...

I love the morphing Odo, but I'll forever be baffled that they didn't make him so you could stick him IN the bucket. That's the entire point of the bucket!

Lol I'm sure she'll know where she is, I would totally bring it up!
