hello all...
we use UPS because they are the most cost effective and efficient carrier...but, of late, we are getting more and more issues of transit damage...Rev...call UPS at 1800 PICK UPS and report the transit damage...give them the tracking #, and they will contact me about replacing...give actual value of $15, and I have one here I will replace your damaged one when they pay the claim...
or, if you want, since I have folks like gothneo that open, you can either sell it to him, or return it to me, and I can switch out, but that requires shipping costs (with a UPS claim, they pick up the shipping cost)...if you want to sell to Goth, lmk, and I will sell you my spare for same $15 (but again, have shipping cost to you)

Hi Rick,

Just wanted to say I've done business with you in the past and really loved the exclusives I received (Janeway and Art Asulym). Your service was outstanding. Second, I wanted to give you a heads up when it comes to UPS out of Florida. I have a friend that works for UPS here in the Tampa, Florida area and she said that in Jacksonville, they have a conveyor belt that drops all items passing through that hub around 10 feet. Since hearing that, I have discontinued all shipments with them. It is a probable chance that if your shipment survives the fall, that it will be crushed by whatever is falling next. I have found that of the big three, USPS Priority is by far the least expensive with the fastest ship time. FedEx is second. Also recently DHL has moved into the area and I used them once, but they accidently routed my package down to Miami before getting it to me, but it made it OK. Hope this helps.

They certainly do seem to accentuate the positive on 7 of 9 ....

This polystone masterpiece was sculpted by Oluf W. Hartvigson for Sideshow Collectibles.
Only 200 were made of the maroon outfit version (pictured) and only 400 of the silver outfit version.



I own both! But why so small an edition size? Can you say manufacturing and marketing muff-up?

They also produced a bust with an ES of 2000. I own that one too!

Hey Kodiak, sorry I missed the welcoming party! Welcome to the forum!

Thanks. You haven't missed the party. It should run for approximately seven years!

Welcome to the forum. Where you from kodiak?

Hi Cap,

I'm originally from New York, but have lived in California, Colorado and now in Central Florida near Tampa. Thanks for the welcome!

^Yes, I've seen Rat Race. But remember that it came after TNG. And I can see from a Radio point of view how Jennifer would come across as monotone, but from a stage perspective, I dont' share your view. (And no offense, but from my standpoint most of the radio "personalities" down here are like nails on a chalk board to me.....over acting, LOUD, and waaaaaay too animated) .

Where are you? I'm in Central Florida ...that's pretty down there as geography, economics, employment and pay is concerned.

But we do have the sun! Unfortunately you can't go outside for risk of skin cancer.

^Monotone? I thought Jennifer Lien had one of the best delieverance voices on the show. There was a lot of passion and sincerity to her words. Granted she usually got a lot of lines that were what I call "quickfire" (i.e. "Captain, I can't find the Doctor's program anywhere. Can you send an someone down to look for him? I'm afraid we've lost him.") so there's not a whole lot you can do other than sound urgent. But I liked her. She had a delicacy about her and she knew how to work the camera for closeups....believe it or not that's actually a hard thing to do. Whoopi Goldburg is another actress who knows how to do that really well.

Both myself and my wife did radio voice overs. That's how we met. Non-inflection of the voice is like needles on a chalkboard to both of us. JMO so don't get upset.

As far as Whoopi, if you can get past her urban, non-space look, more power to ya. I think her previous movie roles didn't help lend credibility to her Trek character. Have you ever seen Rat Race? OYE!

I haven't watched much Voyager as I refuse to pay $100.00 a season but I do have a question I would love to know the answer to. When Voyager first came out I remember reading somewhere that Kes was an Ocampa and they only live like 7 years. I know Kes left the show, did she die? If so I may have to buy that season. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this for me. LL

Paid $300 on eBay for the entire Voyager series. It is the Chinese version, but all discs play perfectly even though the packaging is cheap.

STAY AWAY from the Chinese version of DS9, as I had nothing but trouble with three different sets. Had to eventually get a refund and pay another $300 for the US version. All is well now and I LOVE both!

Hey all, I've stopped collecting DST and started buying Playmates figures. I haven't owned a Playmates figure since I was a kid and buying figures that I loved back then only being able to get rare variations is fun! After my AA set arrived from DST's store with Barclay's inside package rolling around I got extremely mad. Then I opened a season 7 Data and his legs were deformed like everyone said. I'm through with this company's idea of action figures. If by some miracle Ogawa gets released i'm gonna get me one but only because she's never been put into plastic form before. And i'm not gonna look at her wrong cause if I do she'll probably fall apart. Now I wanna talk about Playmates and the good ole' days! So far i've bought Playmates season 3 Troi with space cap and the rare Thomas Riker. I've noticed that prices still aren't rock bottom for Playmates stuff as I paid $60 for Thomas Riker. I'm going to start out trying to get core characters and then branch off. Oh and figures I never owned before like Tom. I would love to put a set of Space Cap figures together minus Dathon of course. I think my holy grail of Playmates is a Lwaxana Troi with pog but I can't find one let alone a minty one. With that said i'm curious: Who do you think was Playmates best achievement? I'm gonna say Guinan as Gloria from Clues. LL

Here's one on eBay you may be interested in:
