Star Trek General Discussion

[Cybersnark]

I did this on the old forum and just stumbled across it in my old notes and thought it should be preserved here too:

There are actually several distinct arcs running through DS9:

The Bajoran reconstruction/religion:
101 "Emissary"
(We see DS9 and Bajor in ruins, encounter the Orbs, the Prophets, and find out that Sisko is the Emissary.)

[Ryougabot]

Went to trekfest this weekend. Saw both Gowron, Martok (both in full ridge) and the nerdiest costume I had ever seen. The judges didn't get the joke but mot of the audience did.

 

[The Predaking]

Was that the actors from the show?

 

[Ryougabot]

yes, they even sang Klingon opera together in costume. Gowron even did the eyes for a picture with my son.

The guy who did their makup was a makeup artist for TNG, DS9 and Voy

 

[Haywire]

Was that in Riverside?

We stopped there last night, Trekfest was already done, but the 3-year-old wanted to play in the park, and they have a really nice one (right next to the Kirk statue). Had to laugh, they have that soft rubber play surface with a huge Starfleet emblem decoration in the middle. And the USS Riverside was parked right across the street, but we didn't get any pictures.

Yes it was. There is a little museum where the USS Riverside was parked. I have been to many Creation conventions, and this was more friendly than any of them.

 

[Haywire]

We were traveling past from another activity, so the museum was closed, but I've heard it's pretty good. I was really into Star Trek in my junior high and high school years, but even though I've lived within an hour and a half drive to Riverside for almost 20 years, I've never been there for any Trek events. With little guy getting older and sharing a lot of my interests, it might be worth taking time for a family outing next year.

If nothing else, the museum alone is worth the trip, events are a bonus. It is a perfect blend of the open-mindedness of a Star Trek event wi the friendly charm of a midwest town festival...and it is all donation driven, so there is not "The Creation Air Tax"

 

[Ryougabot]

Martok and Gowron out of costume

 

[MrBlud]

iTunes has a bundle of the TOS films on sale for $20 and a bundle of the TNG films also on sale for $20.

They will automatically upgrade to 4K when Paramount releases them later this year (as the first four TOS already are) so $40 for 10 Star Trek movies in UHD is a great deal. Especially for someone like me who already paid full price for all that on VHS/DVD/BLU…

 

[DarkeklawGW]

If any of you were building the Eaglemoss Next Generation Enterprise... There may be a long delay on your next parts. If you ever see your next parts. On Jul 12th it was confirmed they applied for Administration

End Of The Line For Star Trek Starships Eaglemoss? – Trek Central

Some breaking Star Trek news has emerged today! It appears it might be the End Of The Line For Star Trek Starships Eaglemoss following fan speculation. Eaglemoss LTD, otherwise known as "Hero Collector" has reportedly filed a Notice of Intention to appoint an administrator today according to a...

trekcentral.net

 

[Cradok]

Yup, I'm out a few hundred on pre-orders - they take the money when you order rather than when they ship - but I feel really bad for anyone mid-way through any of the build collections.

 

[DarkeklawGW]

Update on Eaglemoss
There are things being worked on. Nothing solid or concrete yet but Eaglemoss is now offically in Administration. Which means employees are allowed to speak on the situation. Hence this interview. Paramount is said to be supportive of finding other distributors and RUMORS are going around naming companies like Round 2 are interested in some of the models the now officially defunct company has in their library. They are now in the part of this where they try to see how they can get as much money as possible to pay off Eaglemoss' debts.

 

[DarkeklawGW]

Basically Round 2 models is a company that bought the rights to AMT, MPC and Polar Lights models. They keep the legacy of those companies going.
