New Star Trek by Playmates Toys! OH NO! |
Lead | ||
|
I have a massive Star Trek collection produced by Playmates Toys. These were made back in the 90's when ST:TNG, DS9, and Voyager were on the air. I have
pretty much a complete collection, save for infamous 1701 figures. Playmates Toys lost the license; I don't remember what year. But I was just over at
EntertainmentEarth to check for CARS releases, and saw that Playmates Toys will again produce Star Trek action figures and toys for the new movie. OH NO! I
really can't afford to collect another toy line, but how will I be able to resist?!

They've landed at TRU and WM. I am so tempted, especially since the CARS hunt has hit a bit of a dead spot.

What seems rather goofy is having three sizes of figures.

So did anybody buy these?
I was looking at the 3.75" figures at WM today and it looks as if some of them like Sylar Spock don't have neck articulation??? Either that or the joint is hidden very well. |

TRU here was the first store to get 'em. The first shipment flew off the shelves, at least of the 3.75". WM's came a week later, and they appear
to be sitting. I might buy one set and hang on to the receipt, in case they get clearanced. My gut is telling me the line will not last.

Burger King has Star Trek kid's meal toys along with collectible glasses.
As for the Playmates figures, I have Uhura and McCoy thanks to TRU's 2 for $10 sale last week. I'm kicking myself for not buying more now as I really like the chair and desk console accessories that come with some of the figures. Great figure diorama fodder! |

I have the 3.75" figures of Kirk, Spock, Uhura, McCoy, Sulu, Chekov, Scotty, and Pike. They're great. I also have Scotty, Uhura, a shuttle,
Spock's ship, and a Kirk glass from BK.

Those 3.75" figures would be better if the males didn't all seem to be wearing pink lipstick!
Those playsets look really neat though I'm hoping they go on clearance before I get them. From Burger King, I got a Kirk class and a USS Kelvin toy. Just saw the film today as well. It's not bad but not as great as people are making it out to be on other boards. |

Just today I added the Nero figure and BK Spock to my growing collection! I'm planning on seeing the movie this weekend.

Target has a sale on Star Trek toys this week
Basic "Galaxy collection" figures for 6.29, the larger figures for 8.99, Enterprise for 22.99, Bridge playset for 19.99, transporter playset for 23.99 I bought the bridge but as I won't have enough Star Trek figures to use with it, I'll probably use parts of it with Clone Wars figures. |

I broke down and bought some more figures, because I noticed some are becoming very difficult to find, specifically Spock and Uhura. Luckily, I found 6"
Uhuras and Spocks marked down to $6.97 at a WM. I also found Uhura and Spock in the 3.75" size for $4.97, again at WM.

The whole line is on clearance at Target; everything's 50% off. I bought a couple of ships. I think I'll get the roleplay toys, and the bridge and
transporter playsets too...and hang onto the receipt in case they go even lower and I manage to score them at 75% off.

50%???
My local stores are only at 30% clearance right now. |

I hit three Targets in MD, looking for the toys since they're now at 75% off. I got most of the remaining figures I needed, two phasers, two tricorders, a
communicator, a couple of bridges, and three transporters. I'm glad I got the ships when they were 50% off, as none made it to the final clearance price.

I got a Sulu for $1.74 today. I really only wanted the chair and console, though.
