MY review of the new six inch Spock figure

[palitoy]

There was one figure left at my TRU, one!

There's gotta be more than Trek nerds, like myself, buying this stuff. Because it goes crazy fast.

I was at Wamart and Target earlier today and there was ALOT of Star Trek at both stores. Either there not selling here or they just re-stocked. Even after looking at them close up I'm still not that interested. However the Bridge set does look kinda interesting

Which one was it? Did you buy it? Or did you leave it?

I went to TAR-J the other day. They had just restocked the Star Trek figures. Not a huge selection. I did not buy any this time around. I did buy the bridge set. For whatever that is worth. It looks kind of cheesey to me. The figures were basically the same that I have seen elsewhere. Nothing erally new to report. I have yet to see the 12" Star Trek figures on the shelves other than the Barbie versions. The Hotwheels pegs were completely empty as in completely sold out. Not sure what the special occasion was with the wheels?

I didn't see any of the Hotwheels Ships. I hope they stock those here though. I want them. I'm still contemplating if I should get the Bridge. They didn't have any of the 12 inch figures

Ultimately, it is your call of course. However, IF you are asking for some advice on this I would have to say forget about the bridge as it is pretty cheesey IMO. You will always be able to pick one up on eBay or some where even less expensive then the retail price of $50.00 if you are willing to wait it out and let the dust settle on the new Trek movie. Just my opinion though. To each their own.

$50? Target and amazon only charge $24.99 and TRU charges $26.99.

Your right. It was only like $24.99 plus tax at Target. I must have been thinking of something else at the time I posted that for $50.00. Thanks for catching that and setting the record straight.

Those "might" be hard to find, but not impossible. There is a lot of Trek Heads and Hot Wheels freaks out there in the collecting universe. So it should be interesting. If they turn out to be anything like the Hot Wheels Bat mobile the will be sucked off of shelves at a very fast pace. I have only found the one so far. Still looking though. It is still early yet. Don't give up hope. If I find more I will pick one or two up for you.

Sounds like sound advice, Thanks

The bigger stuff like the bridge and the enterprise are not moving at all in my neck of the woods, must be the higher price point.

My local Wal-Mart has the 3 3/4" and 6" figures and the Enterprise, as well as one set of the Barbies. It's nice to see Trek figures on the shelves again, but so far I'm finding all of them pretty easy to resist. I've yet to spot the 12" figures or any of the Hotwheels vehicles.

That and word may be getting around FAST that the play sets are pretty crappy for the price. Then again this is Playmates we are talking about here. LOL! I do not belong to any Trek forums although I could just imagine the buzz going on there right now. I would like to be a fly on the wall just to see what is being said about the new play sets. I would imagine any real Trekkie (which I am not) would be looking at the play set and saying to themselves what the heck happened? They ruined it!

[Werewolf]

The Transporter playset is actually very nice. The beaming gimmick is quite cool and works well. Now the bridge is fairly bare bones without the extra pieces from the figures to fill it out. It would have been nicer if it had some sound effects or something.
