    Anyone know the date they are going to be released? I'm anxious!

    At the risk of having my head bit off for guestimating - retailers should receive them
    around Thanksgiving - hopefully sooner, maybe later.

    China is going through a rough time right now because of what they call "the Mattel crisis" - lead paint used in pre-school toys. The government has set up inspectors
    to check EVERYTHING leaving the country. My guy in China told me that nothing
    was allowed to ship out the first two weeks of October in order for it all to be
    inspected.

    After SARS in 2003 (when I traveled to China to adopt my daughter) and the snafu
    with the toothpaste a few months ago, the Chinese authorities are very keen to get
    the lead paint problem straightened out.

    My manufacturer just told me that they are working night and day to get their products
    submitted and cleared by the inspectors, so please be patient.

      I seen a kirk and klingon at a f.y.e. store and was amazed at how well they were done. I don't collect star trek but almost was tempted to buy these just for the thrill of seeing a "mego" for sale again. It was great to see it there. I think I'd buy the aliens to display with my heros for new villians. I think you guys at emce toys did a great job on these!

              I ordered from Starlog and am looking forward to receiving my set. Perhaps I'm out of the loop, but is the Romulan and McCoy up for preorder yet anywhere?

                I am woefully overdue for setting that up. I actually had to place my preorder with Diamond for the third series based entirely on previous sales and wishful thinking. Imagine being afraid of having too many cases of Romulans on order! Wierd, huh?

                Hopefully I will have the Romulan/McCoy series set up for ordering on my website this weekend.

                  Scheduled for November release. Most likely will release in January.

                  But still no word on Series 4.

                    OK correct me if I am wrong.

                    TOMORROW is the day Comic Shops will get their Spock and Andorian cases from DST, no ?

                      Highly unlikely, I usually hear about their arrival a couple days before I get them, and I've heard nothing. They do not follow any set Diamond release, they just send them as soon as they can after they get them. Coming from China and clearing customs makes predicting the date to be an inexact science at best, more like a guesstimate.

                        Please post when you get any info, please.

                        It feels like I've been wanting an Andorian for 30 years......

                          Did my usual Wednesday night stop at the Comic Shop on my way home from work tonight. I was assured that the Andorian-Spock cases are confirmed for delivery two weeks from today.

                          That would be December 5th.
