I hope those are helmets on the Klingons and that D-7 ship is on the display stand backwards?

[Shadowknight1]

Yes, the D7 is backwards.

[Crazy Jetty]

And yes, those are helmets on the Klingons.

Kreo Star Trek is gonna get all my money this year.

Though I still wish they would have skipped making the Enterprise minifigure compatable (Always hate when they make an enlarged saucer that opens to become a massively out of scale bridge, on any toy).
I knew this was coming from the start, but I still wish they'd taken a more serious turn on the ships. Like Lego sometimes makes serious attempts at large SW ships without worrying about minifigure compatability.

But on the flip side.... BORG!

[Shadowknight1]

I'm still kinda sad that there doesn't seem to be any actual collector's merchandise.

[Crazy Jetty]

Wait a minute.... those are two different Enterprises....

...maybe I get my wish, after all!

I think one image we see is the prototype whereas the one we have actual floor pictures of is the final product. Which to be honest...much prefer the prototype. The saucer looked a bit better. And the production version has the wrong font for the name and registry number on the saucer.

On that note...it's a good thing I have my DVD model of the ship. Absolutely no temptation on that LEGO-like monstrosity.

Ok thank god thought they were going to try to mix it up to make things different.

Wait where are the Borg?

[Crazy Jetty]

The borg will be in the blindpacks this fall. Not shown, but mentioned.

I'm definitely going to be buying some Kre-O this year. All of the micro ships will be a must. Most especially the Kelvin, which is my favorite ship. Meaning I'm going to try and own every version of it available (the qmx one doesn't count). Which reminds me, anyone by any chance have an Burger King Kelvin they'd be willing to part with?

Anyways, I'm definitely going to get the Transporter set. Scotty is one of my favorite characters, and you can't have too many Klingon's. I'm most likely going to pick-up the Bird of Prey set. I really like what I've seen of it's redesign, and that's two more Klingon's. Not sure if I'll get any of the other big sets though. The Enterprise is certainly tempting, but I might wait for a sale, or maybe even clearance.

Out of the six Kreons from the introductory wave, I'm definitely getting four of them. Grasia, the alien seen on the Kelvin, Keenser, Scotty's little assistant, Nero, gotta have at least one Romulan, and the Klingon, to act as the commander of the three other Klingon's I'll have. Not sure who all I'll get from the second wave, or rather, the first full wave. I'm going to wait and see how they look before making any final decisions, but Kirk, Spock, Khan, General Chang, Worf, Locutus, and the Borg drone are all on my maybe list atm.

There's two more sets, and two more Kreons to be revealed. I imagine the sets are heavy on the spoilers. Hopefully one of them is a cheaper set that has a Bones figure in it. He's my favorite character, so it would be nice to be able to own a minifigure of him without needing to buy the largest set. I imagine one of these sets has a Carol figure.

As happy as I am with the Kre-O stuff, I still really wish there was more to Hasbro's offering than these and the TRU exclusive Fighter Pods line. Some action figures and ships would have been really nice. Maybe if this stuff sells well enough, they might release some stuff next year...or at least have a proper toy-line ready for the next movie...
