Hey Rev - I won't be able to go either, but I'm off work tomorrow - maybe I'll run into you! Try not to grab everything - I really want the ship!!

Well, no Star Trek love at my local TRU, but that's not too surprising as it usually takes a bit before it trickles down to where I'm at. A very nice TRU worker actually came to me while I was looking around and asked if I was looking for anything specific. I told him and he actually went to check the back and the computer. They didn't have any, but it was nice of him to check.

Good to know! (lets out breath, stops turning purple)

Strike 1 at my first TRU...hopefully the second one I check tonight will have something. I have everything on order at my comic shop, but I wouldn't mind snagging an extra Kirk and Spock tonight...

Nothing at mine here in Kansas. I'll check again tomorrow since that is when they get a truck in.

[New Frontier]

there all available for pre-order at toysrus.co.uk for the UK members here - the availability date is the 19th April which is a sunday so i would guess that they will get their products on friday the 17th and the week leading up to then. so check TRU then.

Okay, I managed to make it to a Toys last night, and they had 3 of the 6"ers and 1 3 3/4" left! I preordered all my little guys from Rick, and I had no intention of getting anything else. But after seeing the 6" line, I was much more impressed in person than the photos, so I grabbed what they had and will try to complete that set now as well! Sorry flw, I just left a little Nero behind.

How about some pix?

I'll see what I can do when I get home.

[Hermey the Elf]

What bridge or transporter set pieces are people getting with the 3.75" figz? Take pix!

[flw]

AAARRGGGHHHH!!! I just got finished calling every Toys R Us in my area (metro Detroit) and no one's got any ships in yet - just a few figures and some playsets. Still too early for me ...

My local TRU had just 2 1701's and nothing else. I was surprised how light the box was, but was glad to see and hold NEW ST product in a retail store again.

Too bad the DST 2-packs are clogging the shelves where I suspect they'd put the new ST stuff.

[JonWes]

It's cool to hear so many sightings of some stuff. If 4/19 had been an official street date and not just a target date I doubt this many TRU's would have violated it. I'm going to give it another go tonight. I have all the small figures pre-ordered, so I'd just be happy if they had the Bridge and Transporter.

[VulcanFanatic]

Dont know how the rest of you have made out, but i went to my TRU today and struck gold! They had the 12", 6" and the 3 3/4" figures, as well as the transporter and Bridge, Tricorder, Phaser, and communicators, and the elusive 1701 ship , all in stock, in a display just as pretty as you please! I bought the 12" original Spock and new Spock, 6" Original and new Spocks and the 3 3/4" Spocks. There was only 1 of each of the 12", and i think 2 of each of the 3 3/4" figures, and maybe 2 each of the 6" figures. 3 3/4" were $6.99, 6" were $9.99 and the 12" were $29.99. Needless to say i was shocked to actually find all of them, i believe they were put out this morning.

Okay, I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but here's some I took tonight (after hitting up another Toys and finding the rest of the 6"ers minus Pike & Uhura)..















And some of the accessoires:





Some of them have an annoying divit in their nose, but over-all I'm pleased with them (not quite DST quality to me, but hey, at least they came out on time and are in stores!).

[Hermey the Elf]

Reverie, nice photos. Thanks. Looks like you gonna have some fun this weekend playing with your new toys.

[Hirogen]

God bless it, I wasn't going to pick up the 3 3/4" Trek line right now but they look too good to pass up. I saw a picture of the bridge set and that looks sweet too.

[New Frontier]

nice pics, thanks for sharing. Still going to go for the smaller scale since i feel these look a little too much like the 3 3/4 scale blown up to a 6 inch scale, plus i have just bought the Big Millennium Falcon (for

Howdy folks,
I went out looking today... if there's anyone here from Maryland, there are Star Trek movie toys in varying amounts at the Columbia, Rockville and Gaithersburg TRUs.

Columbia had some of the 6" figures, the phaser/communicator/tricorder and the 3.75" playsets. Rockville had only the playsets, with Amok Time packs still taking up what I assume is the Star Trek space. Gaithersburg had just about everything, except the 6" Uhura and Pike. (Columbia also had lots of Terminator 4 stuff, which I didn't see anywhere else, if anyone is looking for that.)

I picked up an Enterprise and the eight 6" figures, and they're all a lot nicer than I was expecting! (I ordered the 3.75" figures from Newforce and the playsets from Amazon and so forth... so it doesn't *feel* like I'm spending so much money:)) How cool is it that we're running around actual toy stores again? (I do kind of wish there were actually a big April 19th launch, like they did with the Star Wars movies...)

[JonWes]

Hey guys!

I struck out at TRU... but then found a HUGE display at the local Wal-Mart! They had about 15 pegs of 3.75'' figures and about 6 pegs of the 6'' figures and the Enterprise. No playsets, role play or 12'' figures. I was so happy to see them! But kind of bummed because I had pre-ordered the smaller figures. Until... I looked at the 3.75'' figures and realized I had better cancel my pre-order. The paint slop on them is pretty bad. I looked through all 15 pegs and only found one set I was really very happy with. There were others that weren't bad, the problem was that their expressions were pretty weird. Some seemed surprised, some seemed angry and some seemed constipated. So I decided just to cancel the pre-order so I could pick the figures out myself.

I will say the 6'' figures looked great. I was really tempted. The likenesses are very nice. The only one that looked weird was Uhura whose blush was way too heavy. I'll take some pics and post soon. Oh - at Wal-Mart the smaller figures are 6.47, the 6'' figures are $8.97 and the Enterprise was $29.99.
