      Thanks for the heads up. I ordered Kirk and Spock to get a feel for them before I commit any further.

        I am also in for the WOK figures. Not sure about the TNG stuff. Will probably wait to I actually see the figures. I love to see TMP figures. I like the realistic look of the figures but part of the charm of the original Playmates line was that the figures looked like toys not collectibles.

          The BBTS price seems a little steep. I wonder if they'll be $17.99 at retail?

          $12-15 seems more appropriate for a 5 inch figure.

            Saw a video this morning on YouTube where Playmates was asked about the price of the figures. Retail in stores will be $12.99 per figure.

              I’d pickup TMP figures!

                I thought so too. EE is $15.99, but if you factor in the $4 shipping BBTS is holding on to, BBTS is still cheaper. Either way, it's a pretty high price point for such small, simple figures.

                  I found out regular retail price is $12.99. I'll pick them up in-store. Playmates stuff never seems difficult to find.

                    Yeah I suspect these will end up in that $12-$15 price point at most retail stores. Not sure why some of the online toy stores are jacking up the prices, but I'm guessing they want to lock in preorders at a higher price point because they're first to market. Playmates usually has pretty good distribution and they're known for their affordable pricing.
