I'd imagine that they're not finalized yet. That's usually why they put the "no photography" sign in front of them. With some luck, they'll fix the color/scale issue with Vina and Chapel's hair.

Retro Figures

The talk at the time was that this was Playmates getting rid of extra stock of the skybox cards. I believe that most if not all of the figures from that series (i.e. the same cardback) had cards from earlier, out-of-production figures behind them. If you check it out, all of the bonus cards are from the 1993 series, the previous year. There's really no plausible way it could have been an accident since the bonus cards were all for out-of-production figures.

Edit: Slight memory fail! Those figures are actually from early 1995, not 1994, so the bonus cards were technically were from 2 series ago, before Playmates switched from SKybox cards to the Space Caps.

I just made a run to my local TRU and fortunately was able to get Kang. They had a single sealed case on the top-stock next to four boxes of Playmates Trek figures. An employee was nice enough to take the case down. The case had 1 x Kang, 2 x Kirk and 3 x Spock. I think an even case distribution would have been better.

Just got this e-mail from TRU, after receiving an earlier e-mail stating that my figure was in stock.
