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