Welcome to the forum, first of all. The Picard series is certainly waking up the demand -- I'm already seeing Locutus figures bringing more than they did 6 months ago. The supply of the Trek line can look oversaturated at first on eBay, but the rare stuff is still bringing solid dough -- it just moves quickly, sitting on eBay for half a day till someone snipes it. So 95% of the trek figures are very cheap, but the rare foreign-carded stuff can spark quite a few bidding battles.

The debut lineup from 1992 had a few interesting variants in the US market: removable-visor Georgi, Ferengi with black boot trim, Gowron with gold trim, and reverse-photo Borg.

But, if you want to make it really interesting, collect the 1992 run on UK-market Bandai cards, or in the German-market boxes. (Those are worth checking out if you haven't seen them, and I doubt anyone in the US has a complete run of the German-boxed 1992 lineup). Or collect the 1992 lineup on US cards, but seek out autographed examples. I have only a few of the UK Bandai cards (shipping costs are eye-wateringly expensive), and zero German ones, which is even more embarrassing.

The Playmates Trek line can still surprise. For example, just this year I picked up a second release 1993 Crusher w/pog figure on a 7th season Canadian card. Up until that time, there wasn't even a good photo of that figure existing. And we're still finding photos of unproduced prototypes of figures, accessories, ships and playsets. So even the people who have been collecting this line since 1990s can still learn or find unknown or unseen stuff in 2019.
