Firstly, this thread is amazing and your collection is something to be admired, whether you like Star Trek or not. I never collected Star Trek toys. Quite frankly, I just collected Star Wars and wrestling figures like a lunatic when I was a kid and I never got too much into the Playmates stuff. I did have the Galoob figures but that was about it. I've recently started watching a bunch of my favorite episodes from TNG over again on Netflix and it led me here, which led me to Ebay, which is about to get me in trouble haha. I grabbed a few the Playmates figures for cheap of some of my favorite characters, but what I really want is just just a solid collection of the Diamond figures because, judging from your pictures, they look spot-on. My problem is that they are very thin on Ebay. I think I'm going to start with Crusher and Worf, but I really want a Riker (with beard) but they are few and far between and not cheap. I guess I'm just going to have to be patient. I'm going to Megacon in March so hopefully I can do some work there if I haven't got much collected through Ebay by March. Anyway, love it all and keep it up. Wow, thanks for the nice compliments  What I love about the Playmates line is that they are still cheap and the vast array of figures pretty much covers everyone from TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager. Check out Final Frontier Toys for some real good prices on a good selection of Trek figures. You will find that even the majority of the Diamond Select basic line has gotten a bit pricey and hard to find, especially TNG duty uniform Data fr some reason. But, imo, it's definitely the definitive line of Star Trek figures. The scultps, accessories and articulation are outstanding and I think you will really enjoy them if you choose to start collecting them. |

I am experimenting with WWE Deluxe display stands. I think I am going to paint them silver or gold and maybe sand off the foot pegs (because Diamond Select figures don't have holes for them anyway). I think they look pretty cool.  |

I ordered a set of clear 3-step figure display stands off zoloworld for my Trek figures. Each stand will be 18" wide and 9.5" high and deep, so I should be able to get 6 or 7 figures per step. Here is a pic of it from the site:  Also, I received TNG Season 1 Picard with the command chair and DS9 O'Brien today.  |

I got the Eaglemoss USS Excelsior in the mail today.  The shelf all the ships are currently sitting on. I think this is the last one I can fit on it.  |

I love looking at your collection. Have you heard if there's anything new coming out from the TOS?

I love looking at your collection. Have you heard if there's anything new coming out from the TOS? Art Asylum's site had a pretty lame write-up from the NY Toy Fair a couple days ago that read: Star Trek
The U.S.S. Excelsior, Star Trek III phaser and revamped Enterprise-A were all on display, but not shown were the new Kirk vinyl bank and the Star Trek Select Worf figure! I was hoping for some more announcements in the Star Trek Select line. Something along the lines of Khan in the Reliant command chair from TWOK or Data and Lore from "Descent." Looks like the figures are going to be few and far between though  |

The display stairs I ordered from theearthtoymall.com arrived today. They were alot bigger than I expected (despite being fully aware of the dimensions)so they don't fit on my Star Trek shelf, which is a piss off seeing as how I ordered 3 of them and they are $40.00 each. I do like them though, they are nice and spacious so I'm sure I will get use out of them. I just need more space.
Right now I got them on my tv stand.
I need to re-arrange my Star Trek set-up now. I am thinking of a Wrath of Khan theme for the old TNG shelf.
Here is what I did with my shelf.
I liked the TNG shelf alot better but it is what it is now. When I get the Eaglemoss U.S.S. Reliant it will on the TWOK shelf along with the enterprise.
I re-worked it a bit, merging The Wrath of Khan with "Space Seed" and I think it looks less bare.

I'm so jealous of your set up. My stuff is just in storage |

I was never a fan of the uniforms for the original series movies, but that group pic looks sweet.

The clear riser is nice. Clean and sharp looking.

Got these in the mail today. Kirk in Regula 1 uniform from The Wrath of Khan, and Kirk and Spock from TOS's second pilot "Where No man has gone Before."

**drools**
I know it is considered the bastard of Star Trek, but is there much of anything from Star Trek: Enterprise? T'Pol, Archer and Trip are three of my favorite characters in all of Star Trek despite that series itself so that would be cool to see them...unless you did post stuff and I missed it.

They each had 2 figures I think. In their away containment space suits and in regular uniforms. Although I think Trip in his regular uniform was an exclusive to an online shop in FLA.
Never saw that Spock in the Where No Man's Gone Before uniform
