Sort of...seeing as these were supposed to be released, what, last year? But as far as meeting the newly revised release date...yes, I think it does. I am excited to get my Romulan. Didn't bother with any of the others. If there is a "new sculpt" Kirk floating around at a REALLY good price, I might go for it...but otherwise I have way too many Kirk's as it is. I think I've filled my quota, new sculpt or no.

I imagine (hope) that when they planned this line back in the day for TRU they knew that Kirk would be popular because he's Kirk and it's a new sculpt, the Romulan would be popular because he's actually a new character, and that Scotty would sell best to people new to the line or custom folks looking for army builders and/or completists.
Still would like to have seen them trust the aliens when they'd put a line together. Oh well.

NFC usually gets even packed cases because of the quantity and way they re-sell... everyone else gets the the standard which are 3 Kirk, 2 Romulan and 1 Scotty. I think thats the reason you saw BBTS selling kirks and romulans as singles, but not Scotty.

This is my thought as well, seeing as how Entertainment Earth has the 3-2-1 case. BBTS handling that way really backs it up too. I'm hopeful that is the case my shop gets, as I don't need all those extra Scotts....

huh? Not sure what your talking about here? Do you mean the they used a different shirt on the re-releases?
Anyhow, BBTS has shipped my order too. Got two sets... and an extra romulan! I wanted the Scotty's for Customs, so I'm psyched about that. Also if the head sculpt is the same we saw at SDCC, then I think I'll do a head swap on a yellow shirt Kirk too! then I have an entire Legion of Centurions!
I'm excited for these!
Who ever gets them 1st be sure to post some pictures!

Sorry, I mean the 2 pack Kirk with Uhura - this is why I'm considering getting the Wave 5 Kirk since that seemed to use a totally new torso?
The Romulan does look really nice, Is he meant to be the centurion on "The Balance of Terror"? I love the shiny helmet, never understood why they didn't use the helmets in TNG - I really like the TOS Romulans.

comes with phaser, communicator, and Saurian Brandy
The Romulan is a very nice figure and I am glad I got two of them.
Comes with Disrupter and gloved hands
Scotty is a re do of the original. The only cool think about him is he comes with a white handled phaser.
Comes with Phaser and Communicator.
BEST KIRK EVER. I must have another.
