Down to the last week in May and not a word so far on when these figures will actually hit. So far it's still just the Enterprise playset.
Anybody else hear anything?

No word yet on my end, either. Does DSTZach still post here? Maybe he could fill us in on production side. I fear these won't make it to market again.Comment

why not just ask doc mego - he should know right?"Where Does He Get Those Wonderful Toys?"Comment

Forgive my ignorance, I'm not trying to be insulting, I'm relatively new to Mego collecting, but why would Doc Mego know?Comment

Happens all the time. All the time. Some companies offer pre-orders as a way to judge interest. If they don't get enough, they judge interest to be low and back out. I remember N2 Toys offering a Mad Max V8 Interceptor for months on end before finally canceling. Never made it beyond the prototype stage.

That said, I'm guessing he probably doesn't know. AskDST is the only person who probably knows.Comment

Unfortunately I am too. You'd think with this being an anniversary year, and a new movie and series on the way, that it would seem like an obvious choice to go ahead and release them again. It's a pity too. The figures were excellent quality, far exceeding that of FTC.Comment

I was trying to score a decently priced Chekov and Sulu from a member here but they were unattainable--- man, I really screwed up big-time by not snatching them up on the original release, and I NEVER say that... but they are so hard to nail down for a decent price.... I guess it's the Trek gods punishing me for always devaluing the "TOS" part of the franchise!
I repent, oh God Of Roddenberria! I repent!
Thast would not be thy Peter David TNG novels if not for thy TOS!
Seriously though, TNG preference aside, the Mego Trek stuff kept me busy for hours as a 1976 five-year-old, so I hope to get a decent Sulu/Chekov one of these days!
Maybe the second re-issue Chekov EMCE will actually be a go? Fingers crossed!"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

Well gents, I spoke with someone at Customer Service at entertinamentearth.com, and she said it looks like the pre-orders were still "set to arrive this month." That means, if she is accurate, they should be going out within the next 6 days. I have my doubts, but I didn't want to bother her any further.
I've also sent an email to Diamond Select for an update as well, for whatever it's worth. Man, I hope they get these out.Comment

So I sent an email to Diamond Select last week asking when/if the figures would ship, and finally heard back. This was the response: "We are sorting out that answer now, but it would not be earlier than fall. Thank you!"
So there you have it. I fear it ain't happening.Comment

At this point I have to come to terms with whether or not DST/EMCE is ever going to make an Orion Girl or Nurse Chapel or if I'll be better served looking into customizer parts someday. I'd hate to double dip as I'll wish I spent the money and on other customizer goodies.Comment
