Hi. I have a complete set of the DS9 figures from the episode "Trials and Tribilations" (with real fur colored tribbles included with the plastic ones) that I believe after reading a site some time ago said that these were called sampler sets. I was wondering if these were somewhat rare since there seemed to be more of the standard ones to this set. I also found 3 O'briens but only 1 had the real colored fur tribbles included with the plastic one.

On another note, a friend of mine back in '92 had also found a Geordie La Forge w/Removable visor with 2 left arms but had exchanged it for another one that she opened.

This was just before we knew about the collecting and rarity of certain figures. I still have mine with the removable visor, but the card is missing the punch tab and has a crease on the bottom corner.

There are all kinds of mistakes and limited editions of the different star trek lines, some more collectible than others. Some collectors enjoy collecting these errors in production items, and some collectors couldnt care less about them. Its just like any collectible, its only worth what someone will pay for it. Star Trek price guides can give you a lot of idea what your items are worth, and also you can check different web retailers and ebay to see what these items may be selling for to give you the best idea of what you can get for your items.

they did that as a promotion for the Triple Tribbles Game, All of the figures had some of them with the fuzzy Tribbles. I myself have Jadzia with the fuzzies, but I've never heard of someone having the whole set. Did you collect them seperately? Or did you win one of those box prizes from PM?

Some of the 9" figures also came with fuzzy tribbles eventhough they were like Voyager and DS9 Figures. I think only Warp Factor 1 had them.

I collected them seperately, I first had the complete standard set (no fuzzies included) of 6 from this series and then noticed a couple of these with the (fuzzies included) at different stores and managed to put together a complete set of 6 figures.
Also on 2 of the figures Bashir & Dax the game cards are reversed with the yellow back side facing front.

Interesting, I never collected the 9in. ones to this set,so I didn't know that they came with Fuzzies also.

As I thought I remembered hearing that O'Brien nevr came with the Fuzzy Tribbles....Can you take some good HQ pictures of each of the fuzzy tribbles ones? So I can use them on the site?
