But I must say that AA's trek tek is way better than what Playmates ever made. But here also, it took me 3 Phasepistols before I got one that was undamaged and had the right paint sceme! It took 2 TOS phasers (first color sceme) before I got one that was undamaged. And my Enterprise A has a piece missing (a screw cover near the shuttlebay doors). AA should do something about their quality control.

I still have quite a few figures left to find from the Playmates 4.5", 6" & 9" lines. I'm only buying the captains in 12" form. Janeway is on her way & I have to find a Kirk. Already have Sisko & Picard.
Unless something terrible happens with my Beverly figures, I can't see myself giving up the AA/DST figure lines. I'm not a completist, though I do hope to one day own one of every figure they produce. The limited thing doesn't bother me, it's always expensive to buy figures in Australia anyway.
The Data & Geordi wave....well...mistakes happen. Only time will tell what they decide to do about this.
I had stopped collecting Playmates figures many years ago, then when I saw the new Trek figures coming out...it re-ignited my passion for the Playmates line. And I would like to hunt down everyone they made. I believe red Data is not easy to come by...but I'm sure he'll show up on eBay at some point. Same with Tom Riker.
Good luck with your Playmates collecting LL...receiving a new lot of those little guys puts a smile on my face too.

I thought they never released that bridge. I saw pictures of it and ordered it but I seem to remember they announched that it was not going to be released. Too bad because it looked really great.

Yes, I'd imagine Bernsy is thinking of this baby:

Well, I guess you can always track down the prototype. But that will probably cost you a pretty penny.

No-where.....it was scrapped.
I believe it was going to be for 6" figures too....or were they different figures? I do recall each 6" TOS figure was to come with a Bridge consol, not sure if that was part of this playset, or something different.

The trouble is that in order to have the rare one you would also have to have it on this card as well as have the pog inside.
If you found a pog in this package in front or behind anything it would still not be the same as the one above due to the card. It would just be a packing error.

I will never forget when I first heard about it. I was quite young, around 14 or 15 I guess. One of my friends came back from a trip to Sydney & he said he has seen an action figure of Lwaxana Troi in a store. I nearly crapped myself!
I instantly demanded all he knew....her clothing....accessories. He didn't know enough for my liking he could only remember she came with some sort of bag & was wearing brown.
Luckily that same friend went to Syndey again a few months later & promised to buy me the figure if he saw it.
We he arrived back in town, I ran around to his house & banged on the door with eager anticipation. He said he was sorry & that he could not find a Lwaxana, & bought me a Mordock figure (who he knew I already had!).
My face dropped. Then.....he pulled a Lwaxana Troi figure out of a plastic bag!!
I was one damn happy lad that day.

But the thing is, when I woke up I realized I wasn't a huge fan of her character and nor did I have any desire to have her figure. Oh well.
To each his own...

No, the bridge was going to be for the 4.5" figures. But there was a planned 6" line that was to come with consols like the Sisko, Dax, and O'Brien 6" figures. You can check up on all of these and some other sadly never to be items on New Force Comics Trek Reference Center Under the Never Released Section (or just click that link )
