    Judging by Nacelle's website, it looks like once again these will be expensive display figures that kids can't play with.

    As a parent of young Star Trek fans, the fact that this is the worst-merchandised franchise in the world is incredibly annoying

      On merchandising, I'm also annoyed how low quality the printing of official Tees us, especially considering that some of them are actually fun designs.

      Honestly, it's tempting just to buy fanart tees instead - there's an awesome one of Shaxs doing his usual pottery with his iconic "Fighting Fascism is a Full Time Job" as the caption on TeePublic. I kind of want to message the person and ask if they could sell a sticker as well.

      It’s absurd. Our kids ended up playing Star Trek with Playmobil’s space and ‘Future Planet’ planetary exploration lines. (I doubt these even still exist.)

      When the Star Trek line finally arrived it was only TOS.
