DST / EMCE Star Trek are Back!?! Not so fast:-(

I was really looking forward to the redshirts, but another shot at a Romulan would be nice as well.

If they're smart, they'll do another run of The Romulan. Demand for that figure continues to climb, and it's definitely the most sought after and most expensive of the remakes.

I didn't know where to post but I did get to login after all.
I will have to nose around to catch up on bodies, hands, new heads, 3D printing and the like.
I may PM a few of you.
You've been warned.
;D

Especially considering that Chekov, Sulu, the Romulan, and Uhura all command much higher prices. I really felt like I wasn't going to find a much better deal with this.

Awesome grab! Yeah, you had to buy some figures that maybe you otherwise wouldn't have bought but wow... as a loose collector I might have even (ironically) felt guilty in your shoes getting them for such a reasonable price and yet still on the card.

Sorry, but I'm still confused about what is going on with this line. Has it just been delayed, partially cancelled or cancelled all together?

If we go back in time and save the whales, this line is still alive...

I think the general consensus suggests Diamond Select is examining ways to bring a segment of the line back based on the most popular aftermarket figures and the new ones featured, but only those select few because general interest in the overall line is proving not to be that high.

Even though, on a personal note, I just paid a gazillion bucks for my Chekov & Sulu, I have no qualms suggesting that those two be made available in a decent sized run, even if they are indeed the last and/or only two figures ever to be dealt with in this particular Mego Trek revival.

They are about as vital Mego-extension product as I can imagine. Even Luthor, Flash, Green Lantern, Doom don't seem to cry for attention as much as Chekov & Sulu in that regard. And, because of this sentiment, I can't imagine them being a money-loser for Diamond.

I fully agree with you there. Those two round out the Enterprise crew, and fulfill the childhood dreams of just about any kid who loved the Mego originals.

As a kid playing with my Mego Trek figures I always wished there was a Sulu figure. It was fun to finally get one years later.

[powersthatbe]

are the ships still continuing?The Romulan Bird of Prey OS should be the next one.

[SKotK]

Gads, I hope at least those two new figures I've pre-ordered come out soon. I'm dying to add them to my collection!

In the meantime, just to help alleviate the craving, I bought another Pike to replace my totally-yellowed-package one...

Sadly, I think the ridiculous character choice will be the demise of this line. Soooo many awesome character choices to choose from and we get a flip-flop Cheron and a generic red shirt. I feel bad for Paul. He could have done so much with this line if given the green light.

What are you gonna do with your old Pike?

Pike (yellowed case) and Salt Vampire.jpg

What are you gonna do with your old Pike?

He will be up for sale. Still unopened, everything perfect except for the now sort of bronze-colored bubble packaging. PM me if interested.

EDIT: Since I can't sent pictures by PM, here's a picture of my Pike (for sale), alongside my Salt Vampire (not for sale).

Just got a notification from Entertainment earth that Sulu and Gorn have been canceled.
