Shaw deposit paid with BBTS.

Yup. I'm just glad I get the chance to get a Michael and/or pass on a Tasha (if she gets made). Who would have imagined this three years ago? Ro was an easy YES for me. I would get a Michelle Forbes Marian Bowles figure in a heart beat if anyone ever picked up that license, and that is an...

Still waiting for Data and Kira from BBTS. I would order direct from Exo but both figures I got from them came with damaged boxes. Not a big deal to wait since the taxes are offset by the essentially free shipping. I have gotten all the tv series characters so far including Judge Q (and Michael...

I went ahead and preordered Neelix. Honestly none of the VOY heads are bang on. Paris is still the worst with Kim and B’Elanna and this Neelix close behind. They were easier to swallow with the reduced prices, but I get the price bump with the unique needs for Neelix. And inflation is a one way...

Preordered! I already love this show. I am all in for the whole crew. Pike and Spock look great.

AE and BBTS are my go-to guys but agreed, it's now a toss-up given AE's sales tax advantage is gone. Hard to beat BBTS' Pile of Loot feature which is like close-to-free double boxing. I know what's bothering me about B'lanna - her cheeks are too full for the neutral expression they gave her...

Not reassured by the in-hand pics TBH. She still looks puffy. I guess that is what you guys mean by soft? Last week BBTS delivered Harry, Tom, Shran, and Locutus (oof - this was a tough week wallet-wise). She looks almost as puffy as Tom, so at least they'll match.

Hm. Something seems off in the face. She looks a bit… puffy to me? I have to say the Harry Tom and now this sculpt have been a little underwhelming, though I have none in hand yet (preordered with BBTS). But it’s Voyager, so add it to my Pile Of Loot. At least the price was lower.

By dated I mean politics and culture and sociology wise. I am an old school lefty, and ST of any vintage has been a good barometer *at the time* of what an ideal society could look like if we (human race) play our cards right and develop our technology to that end. Today’s Trek is no different...

I think I’m the black sheep here. My fandom began with TNG and peaked with DS9 - until Disco and SNW. I love the new stuff, including Prodigy and Lower Decks. My two older brothers were TOS fans so I watched it in passing as a way to build my relationship with them but it always seemed dated to...

Looks awesome! Hurry up, BBTS!!!

I think both versions are priced fairly for what looks like a well-kitted and executed figure. Luckily for my wallet I am not a fan of the movies or actor so it’s a pass for me on this one.

FWIW this old timer feels the same way, though I can still mod my figures (although I need reading glasses to do so these days) so can/will do tweaks if needed. Then again I may not. I'll decide when she's in hand. I happily preordered Kira as soon as I got the BBTS email she was available. The...

I have scaled down to almost only Exo-6 Star Trek at this point, and even then not all of the lines. It’s easy to stop being a completist after the first one in a line you miss. I stopped Star Wars due to all the double, triple, quadruple dipping HT is doing. I stopped GoT cold after the finale...

This is down to 288 on Amazon now, two days after I picked it up at 309. Oh well. I got an anniversary bonus from work that translated into an Amazon credit so I was only out-of-pocket a hundred or so. I will enjoy it more than the wall clock/barometer I got for my last anniversary bonus.
