Exactly my thinking... hm... this could drive me away from collecting the figures as well.

I hope DST is reading these.
I want to suport this line, but when I see this type of marketing, it will become difficult for me to justify it.

I am trying to stay open minded about this, but I just cannot afford to pay for these on the e-Bay market.
I know that exclusives are a market-standard, but dang, these are ultra-mega exclusives. Variant Troi is only available to RETAILERS at the Boston Con. Maybe they will have some left over in the end and send them to the Radicals.

Also as pointed out he's got the wrong starfleet gear.
DST knows (because I heard them say so repetatedly at SDCC) that Star Trek fans see red when companies make these kind of screw-ups, thus it's all the more confusing to me why they are doing it.

I have a feeling the carded Kirk is going to be available after the con in at least limited numbers. The Troi repaint is the only thing I can see not being available as it is to the retailers. They may repackage it in some other way as a more readily available exclusive, though.

I just hope like the Playmates Picard that DST will release this version of Troi

I wouldn't have a problem with that. Now I know some completest might want to have both the bagged and carded version, but then I think you need to have to be commited to paying extra costs.
My big thing is I always think every Unique Character should be widely available in some form or another, It's stuff like marlena or Capt Pike, who are unique, and then offered only as an exclusive that worries me.
This has always been my previous position, but I think VF has converted me a bit due to the sheer number of these exclusives that are coming out, and I wouldn't deny any collector getting the version of the character they want... especially when this is pretty much 100% collector supported. Shoot, if they want to make limited runs then pre-sell them on thier site... just so long as the fans get a shot at getting them.

Well in that case I would want both of them. Also, rather then saying it is like the 1701's it's more like the Trifold Borg. Only 500 were made.
