I'm hoping these fizzle out only so they end up at Big Lots for a good price soon. But for maybe one or two heads for customs, the figures mean nothing to me. But those chairs I want. Anyone with the chairs taking up space can feel free to PM me.

My local Wal-Mart just got about three display boxes full of the small figures, the 6" figures, and some sort of electronic Enterprise. I almost grabbed Ahura, but decided against it. She has an excellent head sculpt and paint, and would be good for customs, but the lack of elbow joints coupled with the immobilizing skirt made me put her back. I went with Spock instead. I'm not looking to collect this line, and I think I'm about done with Kirk and Spock.

Well Canada won't be seeing much in the way of sales for these things.

I saw them today at TRU and Walmart. Both the 6" and 3 3/4", Bridge, Transporter and Enterprise. I like the Enterprise, Transporter and Bridge.

However, guess what some genius did for the Canadian market???

They took out the bridge accessories for the 3 3/4" figures. So you get the figure with a stand and no way of ever completing the bridge or Transporter room!!!!! You do get a nice figure packed in a large card with a giant empty space at the bottom where something I guess was supposed to be.

Great job Playmates. Although I guess I should thank you for helping me to save money.

Man that just sucks on so many levels, you don't even have a reason to get them on clearance!

I bought one of each of the 3 3/4" figures today at my Wal Mart. I thought they had random pieces of the bridge and transporter but they are not random.

Here is who came with what:
1. Nero-T3
2. Spock-T4
3. Uhura-T2
No one had the T1 piece

4. Old Spock B1
5. Pike B2 (where is B3?)
6. Kirk B9
7. Sulu B4 (but where is B5?)
8. Scotty B11 (where is B12?)
9. McCoy B10
10. Chekov B 13

Also missing is B7, B8, B17, B18, B14, B15, B16 and B6.
Are they doing a 12 piece wave two? Or a 6 piece wave two and 6 piece wave three? How can we get the rest of the pieces we need? :verymad:

I picked up a few, but I probaby will wait for clearance on the rest. That's assuming if I get the rest. I had the bridge playset in hand but no way was I paying $27 for it. That's how much Toys R Us wanted for it. It was $26 and 90 something cents, so you may as well say $27.

I figured these would be better looking figures, but they are not. The sad thing about this line is that the movie looks so exciting and these figures look like they were thrown together. The accessories are the only thing going for these things and I agree with Chuckles...what gives with the crappy fact that bridge pieces are already missing?

Snagged Nero and "original" Spock, wanted Uhura but she was nowhere in sight :(

The figures are a bit scrawny, but it makes for some diversity when using them for customs.

I snagged both Spocks, Kirk and McCoy, and I have to say these really suck. The computers and chairs are cool, but the figures are a huge disappointment. I hope future waves improve, because these are aweful.

Then I won't buy any of these. I thought I'd get a few figures for their environment, but now the whole point is gone!

Snagged Uhura today, this will most likely be the last purchase from this line until it hits clearance.

If I didn't like the original Star Trek so much I probably won't reguard this figures so highly. Plus the fact that my store isn't going to carry them on the side counter made me want them all the more.

I looked all over trying to find one that didn't have weird sculpting around the knees. Something about her joints didn't match up. Then I realized it was like that for every figure I saw.

Playmates has no business making movie license toys. It's a shame Hasbro couldn't handle these or the Terminator figures.

I had to get Spock.. not loving it, the chair & console are a decent...anyway the legs were killing me so I guess it's a good thing the B&B figs are on sale for a quick fix...I am mad I had hoped that Playmates was going to make good on these
