Holy, Freaking, Green Blooded Aliens!

I've been thinking about what my first post should be upon my return, more specifically I've been thinking about collecting in general, but that's all besides the point right now, because of this...

You may remember the first post after last years Eclectorama Holiday Hiatus, I was gushing about Playmates Toys returning to the Trek market. I have seen the new Trek merchandise from Playmates Toys and I can honestly say good or bad, I am happy to see some new Trek on the pegs. Also recently my "brother-in-toys" Eric at Toyriffic clued me in to some Art Asylum Trek figures at TRU (that's Toys R Us in the biz), more on this later on. More importantly than all that, I ended that post with a wish of getting a re-release of one of my favorite AMT models from the Star Trek line.

I can't freaking believe this model is going to be re-released. The Trek Fairy has been listening and if I'm lucky come this December she'll tip off Santa and I'll have one of these under the tree. More than likely I will check the web daily till it's released and then pre order it, then I'll check daily until it ships...

Anyway it is truly a happy day to be a classic Trek fan, I'll have some more posts soon, I now return you to your regular scheduled programing, and most importantly... Live Long and Prosper!

Update: I also have my eye on that sweet NCC-1701 A model!

I wonder if Nimoy is getting anything for that. I know he is going to need money for film.

Glad you're back CB - and glad to see that there's a ton of new Trek stuff for you to ramble on about in '09!

Awesome news. I made at least two of these in the mid-70s. I had a neighbor who even painted the ones he'd made. I went through several of the communicator/phaser/tricorder models. I'd love to see those get re-released.
