Star Trek Figures MAY be on their way soon

[Hulk]

Here you go Buk. Its just the front for now. My batteries ran out, and I need to unbury my charger from my MegoMeet Trip (its been that long since I used it), so more pix this weekend hopefully. Notice the front is nearly identical to Mego except the lack of Mego logo and other minor modern addons. The back is more realistic, with pix of the prototypes and Marty's mug.

I have a couple of comments about the packaging, but I think I may wait until these are in peoples hands to let the people speak. The look is great, and the concept is cool, but the execution leaves a bit to be desired.

None here yet, but they tell me I should have them next week!

[boss]

I've been on the fence about these Paul. You may have just knocked me off.

Bad news is I won't be shipping any figures until next week.

Good news is...

[JDeRouen]

My Diamond rep is an angry drunk* so new no news is forthcoming from him. I'll post when I know more!

Good News... Bad News


Email from my sales rep...

I checked and so far we have only received one part of our initial order for Kirk and Klingon retro figures. It looks like your order has filled and invoiced though, so you may be one of the first to get these. I’ll keep an eye out for tracking numbers once they are uploaded into the system.

I looked on the diamond website and can't even find these figures listed any more. Is there a problem with them?

[Hulk]

This is all new to me as a new Diamond dealer, but I am guessing there may not have been enough time to get these out in time with regular deliveries for this week. It will be interesting to see how long they sit on them after billing for them though.

I see the ST Space Seed 2-pack on the list for this week, but no Kirk and Klingon.

I emailed my customer service rep, who wrote back...

They should ship this week, but there isn't a tracking number in the system yet. I will keep monitoring it, and as soon as there is a tracking number, I will let you know what day the delivery is scheduled for.

I was originally told that they try to space their shipments out to try and coordinate the delivery dates, so if something takes 5 days, it goes out the day before something that takes 4 days, etc.

I'll llet everyone know when I have a tracking number.

I ordered 2 Cases from my comic dealer...

Ordered 2 cases of series 1 and I just ordered 2 cases of series 2. Not getting them this week (Wednesday is the street date for new comics and other items). BTW, I may have a couple of sets left after I take care of a couple of local friends here in NY. If I do, I'll make them available for museum members. Can't tell you how much they will be because I won't know what kind of discount my Comic Dealer will be giving me on the 2 cases until I get them. As of this writing they WON'T be out this week.

[JDeRouen]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, (well, not really bad) but, according to an e-mail I just got from Diamond answering this very question, they won't ship until August 1st.

But he could be wrong. He's a replacement for the other rep I'd been assigned, who apparently just quit, so who knows.

Woohoow, looking forward to it
