Yep, you got a selection of guns as well as that Back pack for Luke & Yoda..oh that rope/belt thing like on the front of the AT-At's box.
Did you ever collect the stars from the Action man packaging? it took me ages ( & I mean years)to get enough for the Mountie
outfit,& I managed the break his hat within a couple of hours..

Least you didn't break your own crotch in the excitement Krakers

My first mail in was hooded Cobra Commander and the MANTA. Thank you very much Toltoys.
I'll take the pencils out of my top pocket for this reply. YES I LOVE STAR TREK, there I said it. Chewie's performance was magnificent and I loved the "life day" song at the end, tho Wall-E's role was a bit over the top .
Trek writers generally take a lot of care with continuity, so did/does George Lucas for that mater. Like the Falcon flying out of the hanger in Revenge of the Sith. So getting a peak at a ship name or something you vaguely remember can be cool. KAHHHHNNNNN? I remember in one ep of BSG there was a room numbered 1701D too, way cool. There are a lot of guilty parties, not just Trekkies.
There is always a good reason to drive a Vette, but I'd doubt just anyone in the future could drive it or even find one for that matter. It'd be a museum piece. I'm a bit worried they just spiffed it up a bit and added modern American dialogue even tho its only ever been used in time travel to our era in previous eps. I still want to see this film and I'll probably end up buying it too.
BTW What's an Anorak? A ship? USS Anorak?

Was that the poster of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy on the Enterprise bridge? We got that poster from our local supermarket, but it was a Keymarket, not a Co-Op. (Keymarket, remember those?) I love those T.M.P.uniforms... which is how this thread began!

I had 3 of the poster's,one of Spock (?I think), that one with all the crew on the bridge, & my personnal fave', the side view of the Enterprise..Thinking about it I may still have them, laying up in the loft some place, I know they were very faded & had damaged corners coz' I used old time sellotape to put 'em up.
Did anyone here have that free fold out

poster? the one with all the gang & vehicles on, done in art work & not photo's of the toys..I never got the

one, does any body have a Photo of it?

I've still got the big Promo photo book from the Motion Picture. Also got some great posters of Spock, Kirk and McCoy from the DVD releases. I think I may have Spock' s left boot in my Action Man box of spares too. Vulcan feet must be a bit small tho.
