Here's a very "nouveau" and very welcome addition to my collection: LaForge in the correct Generations uniform on 7th season card; a Canadian-market thing. The back of the card is a 31-figure portrait as with other DS9, TNG, and Generations figures that were released in Canada in small numbers on the 7th season cards, like Thomas Riker above, of which apparently there was an oversupply. The figure is numbered #30936, which is towards the bottom fourth of the run for LaForge on all cards. It would be interesting to find out if other LaForges on these cards are all within a certain number range.

Needless to say, I love the randomness and rarity of these cards.

LaForge the character has the distinction of being just about the only Generations actor to have been filmed in the discarded Generations uniforms. Reports have it that the uniforms just didn't sit well on the actors because of the wraparound design and other issues, but some of the scenes with the actors had been filmed just a few days into the shoot. The correct Data and LaForge appear on the box of the Engineering Playset though.

The company did try to make amends for the Generations line at various points down the road, though not all of them. Picard in the screenworn Generations uniform, for example, came via the very weird DS9 figure which didn't make any sense, and others never appeared in their proper costumes.
