They don't usually reserve the Limited Edition ones sadly...but it all depends on where you go. Thank goodness there is a Hallmark in the mall i work at :)

You're welcome. And glad it FINALLY worked,lol! Thanks JK!

 

I've got a few Hallmarks I can pop by in L.A.,but only one in Portland,if it's still there. Luckily I have a few ornaholic friends who are as obsessed about this stuff as you guys are about Star Trek,LOL! Rocketeer and Vina are two I DEFO need to get,but there are so many others this year that I would like as well. Might even line up at either Comic Con or NYCC,or both,to get a Wampa as well. Don't want another Batman or repainted Iron Patriot.

 

I wish the 60's Batman orny had a different pose as well. Something to do with likeness rights,apparently. And they used the same excuse on the Kirk and Spock orny just a couple of years ago,that's why they look more like the animated Kirk and Spock,lol!

 

Will be nagging Hallmark again at both cons this year. Yes,I still want my Galaxy Quest and Lost in Space orny's,and a Spinner from Blade Runner,more Battlestar Galactica....they did a Cylon,why not a Viper,Cylon Raider,Muffit the Daggit and Galactica herself.....,and they really should do the rest of the Turtles,not just Leonardo and leave it at that.

 

Hope next years ST ship will be something really good,and hope they have some great plans for 2016. I'll ask my friend at Hallmark about that,but doubt he can say anything yet.

 

J-R!

Thanks for the links, now I'm going to have to try and get those two limited ones...

 

I'd hardly say it's "all over" the Internet, though, because before I ever posted (and then again today) I hit google about it and if you type "rocketeer hallmark ornament" you get basically nothing; same with Vina.

LOL! Figure of speech of course. And it was a joke. But it IS out there,you just have to dig deeper than google. Yes,believe it or not,google doesn't always have the answers....or pics....lol!

 

Right now I'm looking more forward to seeing what's coming NEXT year. I'm done with this year already,lol! So sneak peek at Comic Con in July....HERE I COME!

 

J-R!

That is true, I'm not sure about long-term reservations.  The only experience I've had is the Hallmark store that we've been getting ours from for the last 3-4 years did reserve a pair of Limited Greedos for us, but that was a request done on the day of release.  They've been pretty nice at this store so they may be willing.

Vina,and Rocketeer which is also a LE,are on top of my list. Posted pics of both a while back,lol! I like the Vengeance too,and do collect the ST Legends series. Think it's called Legends,have to look into that,lol! Not too sure about Spock and Horton.....lol! Horta......maybe when it's at half price after Christmas.

Well, Hallmarks are shutting down left and right around me and as a result I didn't get to one until it was too late to score Vina.  Plenty of Rocketeers left where I went though.

 

Why do they want to make these Trek ornaments hard to get?  Really pisses me off when I have supported them year after year buying them all at full price.

I've never really had luck picking up the LE/short run ornaments at a local Hallmark unless I've specifically requested it from my "home" store. Since moving, I haven't been able to establish that kind of a relationship with the stores near me here. 

 

However, I know I've shared this link before, but www.hookedonhallmark.com is a reputable website and I've NEVER had an issue using them. 

 

As to the Vina ornament herself: I'm VERY disappointed. First off, she seems ridiculously small (my other "Legends" line ornaments are in storage, so I can't post side by side comparisons yet). Add to that the continued decline in real life likeness. I miss the the larger sized ornaments from the 90's and their attention to detail back then.

^Agreed. That's my fav airplane design so I will be snagging that one. Just not sure how popular it will be. Might keep an eye on it and if it's not moving fast I'll wait till after Christmas for the discounted sales.
