#49543 TRU Series 4 Announced

Posted by AdmiralNogura on 20 January 2010 - 06:35 PM in AA / DST

Just checked the TRU website. All Wave 4 figures are gone. Is this new or did we know this had happened/was going to happen?

Cool, who knows, maybe it is indeed supposed to be the scope operator from Balance of Terror and they're soliciting it as a 2-pack now, leaving potentially a shawl-less Romulan as the TRU figure. Now that'd be awesome.

Hadn't even considered that! Man, that WOULD be awesome. Bring on the two packs!

Admittedly, I haven't seen any pics from the Con with him being labeled as a Centurion, and that is simply what I've been called him. This is based on my recent viewing of "The Enterprise Incident" where Romulan crewmembers that wore the shawl were referred to as "Centurions," meanwhile the other Romulans that weren't wearing the shawl were not called as such. The Centurions in that episode also wore the helmets, but despite lacking a helmet Kirk was referred to as Centurion due to the shawl. The only other Romulans wearing the shawl were the Commander, and Sub-Commander, so it most likely is a sign of an officer rank rather than a petty officer type.

I apologize if that was an incorrect assumption, it's been awhile since I have watched "Balance of Terror," however, the scope operator may have simply been a Centurion as well.

Lol, no biggie JediGreedo. I just didn't know if I had missed a label saying that or something. I was unaware of the terminology used in "The Enterprise Incident" for the soldiers, nor did I know about the significance of the shawls. When I saw the figure, I just thought, THATS THAT OFFICER FROM "BALANCE OF TERROR"! It's actually a really great sculpt of him, a better one than some of the primary characters done in the past, haha.

Either way, I'm happy to be getting a Romulan soldier. Let's hope a generic Klingon and Red Shirt follow. I'm really getting excited about these TRU Exclusive waves!

Hate to be nitpicky but I'm confused. Are we calling this new figure the Romulan Centurion because it was actually labeled "Centurion" at the display? Because the figure seems to be based on the "Romulan scope operator" from "Balance of Terror", not the Centurion. You know, the guy who served on the Praetor's vessel. I didn't think the term Centurion referred to foot soldiers, but rather officers of a somewhat higher rank. Check the pic and see if you agree.

#43531 TOS Figures being re-issued as 2 Packs

Posted by AdmiralNogura on 21 July 2009 - 09:31 PM in AA / DST

Thanks, BadBunnyMike. I was aware of the TRU Wave 4 figs, but thought the singles might simply be exclusives released alongside the two-packs. I now see a single Scotty is among the figs in TRU Wave 5, so I guess that definitely won't be the case. I'll probably just buy the two packs if the gold and red paint apps are finally uniformed. I guess I can deal with having an extra Kirk, Spock and McCoy lying around. :-P

#43281 Captain Sisko w/ Defiant Captain's Chair!

Posted by AdmiralNogura on 16 July 2009 - 12:35 PM in AA / DST

DST just updated their page. "DS9 Sisko in command chair" is now listed with a new release date of July 29th! Could this mean that this release is back on?

Rechecked the DST site...the release date for these two-packs has JUST been delayed and is now July 22nd. Let's hope the new date sticks.

Nice! Glad they took the cryptic "Preorder" marker down. Thanks for rechecking, QuePaso. Looking forward to this two-pack, regardless of its "Kirk and Spock"-iness.

Yesterday, I called all of the TRUs in my area (Pittsburgh, PA) and no location has these in yet.

Do I remember reading that along with these two-packs, Scotty, Uhura and Sulu will also be available as singles exclusively to TRU? Or did I dream that?? Hoping I didn't. I don't need another Kirk, Spock or McCoy.

#43257 Star Trek IV The Voyage Home 2 Pack Kirk and Spock

Anyone else notice on the DST site that the availability date for this item has been removed and simply reads "Preorder"? If you click the link, it still reads July 15th, but the date on the Action Figures page is definitely gone. Any guesses on what this could mean?
