No way would we call you that! I get nostalgic for that feeling too! I stll remember, from the depths of my brain, the day I walked in and saw my first Playmates figure ... Riker with the torn shirt. I remember the smell and the lighting in Wal-Mart, the excitement of seeing them on the shelf, and the anticipation of getting him home somehow. I went home, opened him up and then and went and begged my Mom for Picard and Worf and Geordi (with revable visor) and Data with opening arm and chest ... I know, I need therapy. I'm a figure junkie!
The first thing I do when opening a new figure is breathe in that amazing plastic smell ... harkens back to those Playmates days. LOL

I believe he was asking me not to call him a sack of crap....
I'm too heavily influenced by Agnes Skinner
We wouldn't call him a sack of crap simply for loving every minutes of Playmates reign!
Well, some might.
Since I come from a small city in Australia, I really appreciated going to Sydney a couple of times a year & seeing quite a few Trek figures.
They had the 1992 & 1993 assortment in my hometown...but that was it. And no, they never had ANY Beverly Crusher figures my dad eventually found her in Sydney when he was there on business late 1994....it took him ages to find as he was looking for a red head named Gwendalyne!
We later found out Gwendalyne was the name of one of my fathers childhood pets....a bantom.

A good example would be found here in the C's under Dr. Crusher
http://www.trektoy.com/c_page_2.htm
or here, look at the Worfs
http://www.trektoy.com/w.htm
or Kira's belt

I am missing the rest of the German 4.5 first series set except for Data. I am also missing one 4.5 Ensign Crusher that came with red accessories. I really started collecting with this line, or was it went nuts? Ok I went nuts. I would look every week in at least 3 places and try to make contacts at conventions with people from other city’s to trade with. Many times, they would get something that was not being sold here locally. I met at least a few people that I still call friends from those convention trips. The thing that you should remember is that the 4.5 line was a toy it was not much more. They were meant to be played with and considering that, I have a first series Troi that has a number on the bottom of her foot that is over 200,000 someone did a lot of playing, as Playmates must have done a lot of selling. Matter of fact any foot number under 10,000 was considered worth more money for a time and might still be, not sure anymore.
Really I can take them or leave them.

PM me the terms. I'd at least be interested in seeing what it would cost to get a hold of it.

Yes, I'm somewhat slow at times...
Like writing this response to a message you posted 5 days ago!
It was his reference to Dr. Crusher up there that got me to look...one knows it's like a flashing red beakon to me
I did put one of the wall panel stickers upside down on the Bridge. Somehow I managed to break the little slots that attach Data & Ro's chairs into the stand....so they are being held their with tape.
My red alert light didn't always work either...only when it felt like it. Much like my light up Storm figure.
Gotta love when toys have character.
I didn't get why the sound effects on Worfs console were lengthened. Even red alert was given an extra little sound in between each wail. Hailing frequencies sort of rattled on after it would normally stop.
By the way FHC...awesome pic of Data on the bike.
Did you never pick up a Keiko figure??
And what is this I see on your page?
A set that actually included 2 of my fave characters?? how odd! I'm going to have to track that down one day. Were the rest of them released in another set?

I don't believe that!
Surely a set was made with Picard, Data, Worf & Lursa.
