If some places will take an exclusive version of the Enterprise, why not a box set of figures?

If it is another Enterprise, would it be Pike's Enterprise or a "Where No Man Has Gone Before" Enterprise with Kirk? Are there big differences in the two? I know there was a Pike figure shown, but would they go with another Kirk over Pike?

Probably an Enterprise variant (a refit version would be dynamite), but any chance it could be a shuttlecraft?

What sort of fan response do they want?

Tell me what you want, DST, and I'll do it. Show me who to smite and they shall be smoten.

I'd love it if these things came out more frequently, like two or three times a year. That might not sound like much but when you consider specialty gets a different offering than TRU, it's a lot.

If they keep TRU and LCS assortments at the same time, at least twice a year sounds good. Once a year isn't enough and you might lose sales with the attention span of some people.

I want something from TNG and First Contact in something other than command red. Personally I hope for Data in series 2.

It doesn't matter if it's TOS or TNG or any of the others. I'll buy them in multiples.

I was hoping they'd have enough sell-through information by now to announce a second series.

Wasn't there a comment on their Facebook page about news of the next series at SDCC?

I'm not crazy about the future of figure packs being tied to the success of the Enterprise. Sales of the Enterprise should determine future ships.

I was happy when Hasbro announced they had the license for the new movie hoping for some quality 4" figures. I got no figures but Minimates came back. Totally unexpected. Now I'm worried that they're not going to last again and I'll have not gotten much further in filling in holes.

So, is there nothing as far as Star Trek Minimates at the convention?

I've never seen so much of one wave of Minimates on the pegs at one time at my local TRU. Usually it's one peg, restocked once or twice. This store has four pegs for them. So far I've bought nearly eight full sets.

What head did you use for T'Pol?

Breaking Bad Minimates would be awesome. I'd buy them all and in multiples.

Went to two different stores and found 12 packs at each.

The first store had:

4 x Kirk

3 x Picard

3 x Sisko

2 x Janeway

The second had:

4 x Kirk

4 x Janeway

3 x Picard

1 x Sisko

Out of the four Janeway/Seven sets only two had TRU stickers and the two that didn't had wonky faces on Seven (eyes and mouth too far apart, eyes or mouth off center). And like someone said earlier, there were a bunch of loose hands. Overall these look awesome and I hope for more.

What's going on with Hershel's pants? It looks like he's using a big rope to keep them up.

Since Picard has already been offered in all his incarnations, would we get a Riker or LaForge with Enterprise-D?

Still plenty of Picard to go with an Enterprise. Season 1 Picard. Generations Picard. Dress uniform Picard. Reissue of series 4 Picard.

The Shuttlecraft is orange juice, and nobody wanted the orange juice last time.

Any particular reason why no one was interested?

A beat up Constellation with Decker would be awesome. Add in a shuttlecraft for Decker and there would be much rejoicing.

When can we see a refit Enterprise?

Big Bad Toy Store has the Mirror Mirror Enterprise up for pre-order. So is this not an Entertainment Earth exclusive?

I'm very disappointed by today's AskDST #200 where they say they *currently* have nothing past wave 1 planned for the relaunch of Trek minimates!

For everyone, I'm curious, do you prefer they get everyone released in the 2 main variation uniforms before getting to the unique variations like I listed above? I don't believe we should be forced to QC, but it's a great option to have available, and I love how they're using it in the Marvel line.

Yes, I want main characters in main uniforms before we get obscure variations. To me, it would be awful to see a slot wasted on Sherlock Data or cowboy Worf before a main crew member in their standard uniform. Whether it be specialty or TRU. If this line is able to go into a high number of waves, then throw in some episode specific variant of a character. But please don't do it before the big names are released.

I think the best plans for this line is to aim to satisfy the quick-customizer community - maybe by highlighting the possibilities on a blog? There's just no way we're going to get every major variation of every crew member in Star Trek, so this seems the best route for better sales.

Absolutely. If they can only get out one of each of, say, Data, Geordi and Worf, I'd want TNG Worf, Generations Geordi and First Contact Data. Assuming Worf's sash or tire tread or whatever is a separate piece we can make versions of each character in each uniform.

If they were ever to make a season 1 Riker, you can then use the Riker body and another Geordi and Worf to make their season 1 versions and so on and so on.

Check other farm supply stores, like Orscheln. They have the same sets under different names.

That's actually happened to me a few times with other Minimates lines. What happens (apparently) is a case will get scanned in coming off the truck, then put in inventory and not unpacked onto the floor for some reason. I've had to wait while a manager goes in back to figure out where the case got put away on these occasions, but it eventually gets located. When the missing number in stock is 12 – the number or sets in a case – this tends to be what has happened.

Which is not to say an employee isn't walking with a whole case in this instance.

At least you got someone to go in the back and look. They told me there was no way these were in the back. Even if they were, it would be like “finding a needle in a haystack” as their stock room is apparently like the warehouse in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Store two took ten minutes to go look and couldn't find them, which is weird.

Ran into this problem Friday. They show they had 12 but couldn't be found. No peg space, nothing. I wonder how many of these are going out the door with employees.

Cool! Hopefully this'll be made along with some more classic characters.

While I'm not a fan of BSG, I have most of the BSG Minimates offered and I am happy for those that really wanted new ones. I hope the new packs do well.

It just pisses me off that they were giving something away to people that might not care one way or another, when I (and I'm sure others) would pay money for the damn thing if it were offered in a wave or set. It just feels like an insult or something.
