Star Trek Movie figures

[Paulskywalker]

Picked up my first ST movie toy today, got the Bridge playset and it is awesome, just the type of concept i've always wanted from a playset. I even love the vinyl playmat it just helps create the large size!

The view screen is cool and i'm glad the plastic screen slides out so i can transfer it into a window for a Republic Starship or Palpatines window in his room, which is what it reminds me of the most.

The data screens and the helm command centre are really good to and the chairs are so cool.

Cus of the situation with non-US figures, i think i'm going to have to hunt down US version with the playset parts in just so i complete this brilliant set.

Good news for UK collectors, Vivid Imaginations who distribute these here have said the pieces of playset will be available in wave 2 in the UK YAY!!!

Also Tesco have the Bridge Playset for £19.95, I could have saved 5 quid if i'd have been patient; oh well!

after totally loving the movie i just had to break down and buy a spock figure. these things are pretty much terrible but i like that you get a belt,gun,chair,and that other piece. im so tempted to buy the play sets! playmates makes hasbro look so good.

Figures are marked down to $4.97 at most Wal-Marts now... apparently as low as $2.00 at some!

Lots of new goodies in store for us it looks like - good to see... hope this wave does ok, because wave one just isn't selling in my neck of the woods at all!

I see some great custom fodder! And monsters too! Very nice!

[Paulskywalker]

Cool new waves and those monsters look great, i notice cus Sulu is Japanese he has to have a sword; because all Japanese people carry swords.

I'm ashamed to know this; but Sulu was established in the original series to be an avid fencer... They did change the TYPE of sword he had in this movie... but Sulu's character was always a sword wielder.

[Paulskywalker]

I haven't seen the original series in years and didn't know that, i do remember seeing a picture of him with a sword; thanks for clearing that up for me.

[YAK_Chewie]

Thought I'd bump this in hopes of Wave 2 showing up soon.

Playmates just announced (I belive it was on TNI a few days ago) that they will be doing 3 & 3/4 versions of the ORIGINAL Series next year (Meaning shatner, nimoy ect). Personally I can't wait cause while I like these guys, I would love to have the originals much more.

Also a buddy of mine sent me a McCoy with the head switched with spock body, looks awesome and since I am getting impatiant I am thinking of grabbing a Chechov and doing the same.

[Paulskywalker]

Also their supposed to be deluxe diorama two packs.

[TradeFederationSympathy]

I really can't see them making any more figures for this line,they haven't sold at all in my area and the pegs at EVERY store are filled with them.

[zedhatch]

They have been canceled for the movie line wave 2 TFS, no word on the classic figs they were talking about.

[YAK_Chewie]

Sucks because Wave 2 is the one that really seemed cool... would also have liked to see them make the green babe that Kirk gets on early in the movie.
