The blu-ray version gets more special features.

Thats not fair for DVD owners who can't afford Blu-Ray.

Oh FFS! I knew that the trailers and TV spots would not be on the DVD! This annoys me as I love watching promotional campaigns for films!

Blu Ray can hold more data than DVD. It sucks, but it's true. Luckily, I know people with Blu Ray, so I'll likely get both versions.

I know that. What I am saying is that there is no reason why DVD owners can't get a 3rd disc to make up for them not having Blu-Ray. It would accomidate the rest of the special features nicely.

Looks like I'll have to start hunting for HD downloadable versions of the trailers and TV spots again though, which sucks.

VHS owners said the same thing about DVDs, what, 5 or so years ago?

Which is one of the reasons why I started buying DVD instead of VHS all those years ago. Because VHS owners were getting shafted. Now its happening again.

Textbook case of techno-shock, in which technology outpaces the common man's ability to keep up with it.

That being said, can we please get back on topic now?

I'm in a state of...I guess the word "shell shock" would be sort of applicable, except this is in a good way. Quantum Mechanix has revealed their Artisan Replica of the USS Enterprise. I was expecting little more than a slightly better lit version of the ones that QMx made for Paramount. I was wrong. This ship is [colorful metaphor]-ing GORGEOUS. I would honestly clear space out for this ship if I can afford it.

I'm liking this pic....

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #91 on:** July 22, 2009, 01:10:48 AM »

Also, QMx has just ruined any chance of me getting that Enterprise. You see, if I could afford it, and had a place to put it...I would also be able to afford and have a place to put...THIS:

And see...I could never choose between the Enterprise and the Serenity. Not ever. Especially when both have super stunning lighting effects. So. I guess I'll wait for the smaller 15" inch Enterprise replica. I should be able to afford that, and even without lights and sound it'd probably kick Playmate's Enterprise in the aft.

Here's more stuff to collect and display. http://trekmovie.com/2009/07/26/the-collective-star-trek-standees-new-bobbleheads-playmates-wave-2-new-watch/

No Kelvin or Narada yet...darn.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #93 on:** August 05, 2009, 06:42:46 PM »

This is technically merchandise for Trek XI, for those who like Comics and the Countdown series, there is a new XI related comic coming out covering the 25 year gap between the destruction of the Kelvin and Nero's breakout from the Prison.

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Star_Trek:_Nero

I'll probably get it when it comes out.

There is also this

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Spock:_Reflections

It gives back story for Spock's decision to stay on Romulus.

Gods damn it.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #96 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:03:33 PM »

Just a huge FYI to those expecting more ST09 merch....Playmates has suspended their upcoming Star Trek toylines, including the next waves of figures, ships(ie. the Narada & Jellyfish), etc. This also includes their planned TOS toylines and the mini-ships they were also planning, near as I can tell. This may be permanent or it may come back. Either way, unless Art Asylum/Diamond Select puts out a stellar line next year, Star Trek's going to be off the shelves again. Damn shame, if you ask me. I at least wanted a Kelvin mini-ship.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #97 on:** November 28, 2009, 12:30:26 PM »

Was there any given reason why they suspended the line?

Johnnymuffintop · « **Reply #98 on:** November 28, 2009, 05:31:00 PM »

Personally, I want to get my hands on a couple of the Kelvin model kits to make a Kelvin styled NX class.

Basically, poor sales. At this moment, there are too few retailers with interest in Star Trek toys for Playmates to put out a second wave of figures that might not sell. Which I can understand, about the only things that moved quickly off our shelves was the Enterprise.
