Here's a Lore figure on the rarer Canadian 7th season card, with pog. This is one of a handful of 2nd release TNG figures with pogs that were also produced just for the Canadian market on TNG 7th season cards. Now, for the U.S. this figure along with Scotty and Admiral McCoy was either overproduced or underpurchased -- it was one of those that could still be reliably found in just about any store that stocked Trek figures, even quite a while after the 1993 lineup's release. I was still seeing figures from that 1993 release on store shelves in 1997.

In all, Lore was released as:

1. US card with SkyBox card
2. US card with pog
3. Canadian 7th season card with pog
4. Australian 2nd release card with no card or pog & a different equipment tray

Lore was a bit of a controversial character as viewed the later years, embodying the sci-fi trope of an evil twin. There was also a view out there that Brent Spiner overplayed Lore, who in his first appearance on the series was a bit of an unsubtle, comic book-style, cackling and smirking villain, rubbing his hands together. If you think about it the film "Star Trek: Nemesis" was essentially a replay of the first Lore episode "Datalore" -- another evil android who this time feigns being dumb, but is then more or less turned by the crew, with Data impersonating him to gain an advantage over the Reman villains.
