  1. i think a Keeper is a must seeing that picture & Bele and Lokai i would have to stand Bele next to my c3 riddler just for effect

    Has anyone bought the TOS remastered hd-dvd season 1 box set, i'm thinking of getting it now that the price has dropped from £120 to £30 just wondered if its any good as nowhere over here in the UK is showing the remastered stuff :(

    I have the remastered first season and it's pretty good. The new special effects are good and the new cleaned up film is so clear and colorful that it makes the old DVDs look like some old VHS video. The second season just came out and I'll probably be getting that in a few months too.

  2. Another fantastic Trek wave that I'll be adding to my collection. While I'm not jazzed about getting ANOTHER Kirk, I do understand that Kirk sells, and all the Kirk variants have more or less been worthwhile.

    I love the little buggers!

    I agree, these Trek mates are getting better and better! I was also getting kind of tired of all the Kirks, but if there is one Kirk that I want, it's the green tunic Kirk. :biggrin:

  3. i am totally jumping on the band wagon and getting one. i actually built this kit when i was like 12 or 13 and it broke. someone please confirm the original did not go all the way around right? and i will need two kits to do a 'full' bridge.

    Yes, the kit does not go completely around and some people have gotten another to build a full bridge. I didn't for filming reasons.

  4. ok so this model was a god send but with ds9, tng & movie mates coming out what are we supposed to do for display's as i don't think there are any ds9, defiant, enterprise A, D bridge kits of these.... :(:(

    I don't think any other models were made for the other bridges.....?? Guess we'll have to make 'em from scratch.

    Well if you're forced to do that, then don't forget that "if it can be dreamed, it can be built."

  5. Spocko -- Thanks so much for sharing. I've been waiting to see pics before investing in this model set, now it's off to eBay I go! :)

    It looks like Kirk fits just fine in the command chair. Do the others settle fairly well on those swivel chairs?

    Does the set come with figures at all? Like maybe an Uhura that I can scavenge an earpiece off of?

    And also, thanks for the Star Trek wallpaper you posted in another thread.

    As a matter of fact, it seems almost as if the chairs were built for minimates because they fit perfectly. And as for figures, the model came with Kirk, Spock, and Sulu (although I think the Sulu figure looks more like Bones). I didn't bother painting them now, however I might later on. Sorry there is no Uhura to get an earpiece off of. :(

  6. I've noticed that a lot of people have been wanting to display their Star Trek Minimates, so I bought the Amt Enterprise Bridge Model Kit made in 1992. After I got it at ebay, I quickly began to build it. Although, there is very little to really build at all. So I guess I should say that I began to paint it right away. And after I did that I had to put on the decals (which was a stressfull experience). However, after I put it all together and put my mates in it looked pretty cool (even though it's not the full 360 degrees). So for all of you out there who like Star Trek as much as me, here are some completely unedited pics (except for the blue around the viewscreen). By the way, you may notice some space between the stations because I did not glue them together in the event that I may want to move them around later.

  7. I've seen a lot of people express their opinions about what the next wave of Star Trek minimate should be, so I thought it would be a good idea to express my opinion for wave 4.

    Here's my idea:

    -Green Tunic Kirk and Andorion

    -McCoy in Medical short sleeve tunic and Nurse Chapel

    -Charlie X and Yeoman Rand

    -Lt. Arex and variant Scotty in dress uniform.

    I know that Diamand Select Toys probably wouldn't be able to make Lt. Arex, but I thought it was a cool idea. I'd like to know what you think.

    And just for fun, I made this Star Trek Wallpaper for anyone who likes it. I hope I uploaded it correctly since this is my first time posting.
