Got a shipping notice from NFC myself, which is good and bad.... good that they shipped... bad because it looks lik ethey shipped to the wrong address

[JMW326]

Got my shipping notice as well. Looking forward to getting them.

Gothneo, Try getting in touch with UPS and letting them know. Sometimes (not always) they can reroute a package.

Good Idea JMW... I'll give that a try.

Quick question, you guys: when did you preorder? According to my original reciept, I preordered on 9/5/06, which I thought was pretty early, but I haven't yet recieved the shipping email.

I picked up my full set yesturday and over all they look great. I'm pretty happy with this wave. The hole Laforge is too short thing really does not look all that bad placed with the other figures. Not as bad as what others made it out to be.

This wave does seem to have been rushed however. Probably so they would not have to push back the release again. You can just tell just by looking at the packaging. I don't know about the packaging others got but everything was crooked and nothing was taped together. I remember with wave one most of the packaging art was tapped to the bubble and around the plasitc container inside. With wave 3, its all over the place. For my Barklay the packaging art inside was covering the took kit accessorie. Anyway, that does not really matter as I open them anyway but you can tell these was a rush job to get these out.

I was sad to see that Data's connection cable to Locutus was not included however if this is something that would have caused delays I would rather be rid of it to get the wave sooner. Also noticed something wrong with my datas legs. He does seem to have a right and a left but he does not stand strait. The right leg seems to curve more at the knee joint. Almost like the hole was not drilled propery to connect the joint. I finally got him in a pose look ok however.

Another thing I noticed is that I think the hands on Data were ment for Lore and visa vera. My Data had a fist for one hand. How is he suppose to hold his violine with a fist! I don't know if this was an error during assembly or this was intentional where Data was ment to have a fist. I used the boile and pop menthod to get the hands switch between Data and Lore.

Nothing bad to say about Reg, he is probably the best of this wave and Lore is ok. The lack of accessories to go with Lore fig was a little disapointing. His packaging did say "with starfleet gear" but there was nothing.

Well, that's my little review. I will post some pics first chance I get.

I put my order in 9/7/06 and got my notice late last night. You may want to check your spam settings. I was missing alot of email notifications and found out they were being automaticaly deleted by my spam filter so I had to adjust some settings to get them.

Yep! Things are slack in that factory! I'll post you an amusing photo of the Barclay I picked up yesterday...later!

Here is my full TNG crew to date.







Here is wave 3 in packaging







You can see in this pic what I was taking about in my previous post about Barklays packaging.



As I was taking pics of wave 3, I took some shots of a part of my collection. Unfortunetly most of it are in boxes and I only display the most recent stuff. In this case AA/DST.

Mine are coming on the 14th and I am excited. I don't think Geordi looks at all bad next to his crew mates, but I am not super-stickler for scale.

Captain Kidd,

I've seen enough, I"m coming over to play!
very nice collection you have! Nice shelf setup you have them on too!

[Captain Kidd]

Thanks skeletor, I picked up the shelf at Ikea and wanted to pick up another one after seeing everything that is coming down the line but they do not make that type of shelf anymore or at least not in that color. Which totaly blows because I find it perfect to setup the figs on.

Well, I know we've seen plenty of photos already but I thought this link would be good anyway. The guys that run rebelscum.com have a new site called cooltoyreview and they photograph all kinds of figures just like on rebelscum. Anyway, they have the core 3 figures up with many pics and articulation breakdown of each. Check it out.
