  1. I've been to The Experience (as you can tell from my avitar) and I actually found their merchandise selection disappointing.  Most of what they sold I could have bought at a local convention.  I was disappointed they didn't have any "authentic" uniform garments for sale.  What garments they did have looked hand-made and I could have made better myself.

    Really? Well, I've never been to a ST convention so I wasn't disappointed at all..I thought the merchandise was pretty good..For one thing I've never been to a place that ONLY sold Star Trek stuff! It was exciting for me..And I am anxious to go back there..I'll agree with you that I wish they had more uniforms for sale..


  2. Okay, me with the one-track mind...:thumbs:

     

    Anyway, did they have any Data stuff in the Experience gift shop at least?:bow:

    lol..I'm sure that there was..But the only things that come to mind right now are pics of Data, TNG plaing cards and that Data mini bust which I already have..


  3. I'm going to vote for the Ambassador class starship! I knew that I would in the end. I really wish we had seen more of this ship in one show or another.I like the way it looked even though it is an older design..For the record there are many ships on this poll that I like a lot. I should make special mention of...

     

    Sovereign

    Galaxy

    Constitution

    Intrepid

    Defiant

    Klingon BOP

    Romulan BOP


  4. Yeah, it seems like they are going to release a season every other month..Season 2 on May 18th..I wish it was every month..At this rate Season 7 won't be released until March of 2005..Oh well..Patience Spacetigger.. :roflmao:


  5. Which class of Star Trek ship is your favorite? I'm not sure what to vote for yet. I need to think about it. Many of you already know that I have a thing about the Ambassador class starhip even though it is an older design. I also like the Galaxy, Constitution, Intrepid, Defiant, Klingon BOP, Klingon D-7 battle cruiser, Romulan BOP...Oh I could go on and on..Which one do I vote for?..Hmmm..

     

    I know I probably left alot off of this list and there isn't an 'other' choice. If there is one that you would like to vote for, PM me and I'll add it..


  6. One thing I wanted to mention. My brother told me that the last time he was there they had a statue of Locutus there that they were selling. He had his pic taken next to it. Well, I looked for it and couldn't find it. Somebody must have bought it! Talk about an expensive souvenir !! They had statues of the Borg Queen, Klingon Warrior and a Ferengi but no Locutus..Amazing...!!


  7. I didn't think that everything was expensive. I was expecting everything to be out of sight pricewise because of where it is, at ST:The Experience..But it wasn't..The T-Shirts I bought were priced the same as any I would buy around my home. And I can say that for everything I bought..I was very happy with how much I spent there considering all the Trek stuff I brought home..They had some really nice jackets there and I wish I had bought one. Oh well.I'll just have to go back.. :flex:

     

    Of course the things in 'The Admiral Shop' was out of my price range..I didn't buy anything in there...


  8. You all know how much I love Star Trek collectibles and merchandise. Which is why I went to 'The Experience' with an empty suitcase. Walking the promenade and the shops there was like heaven to me..Here is a list of what I bought there..Some really neat stuff. My collection certainly is getting large...And there is no way to stop it from growing and growing and growing...!! I love it !!

     

    5 T-shirts, yeah I said 5..I'm amazed I didn't buy any of the Experience jackets there..I wanted to..Ah..Another reason to go back this year..

     

    2 Baseball type ball caps. A UFP one and an ST:Experience one..

     

    1 Tribble. You knew I had to get one! I now have 8..Yeah I know..They are multiplying..

     

    3 Fridge magnets. Spock, Borg Queen, 2005 Calendar magnet.

     

    A ST:Experince pen

     

    2 pins. Starfleet Command, TOS Insignia..

     

    1 Star Trek Coffee Cup

     

    2 Pics. Me with the DS9 crew, The Doctor surrounded by Borg

     

    3 Books. Voyager Companion, A Stitch in Time, Legends of the Ferengi

     

    TOS playing cards


  9. Tough choice..Both Picard and Janeway are great captains..I like Janeway a lot. It was an impressive feat getting her crew back home in seven years. And I feel that she was a little more personable with her crew..And Jean Luc Picard..What can I say ? A fantastic captain!! I had to vote for him..


  10. Awesome flag..Just recieved it in the mail and it is now hanging in my living room. It's huge..But it looks real good with my Trek pics and tribbles and everything else that I have...I only have one complaint..This has hapened on another flag that I have bought..Why do they insist on folding and creasing the flag instead of rolling it? It certainly would look much better..But, it is a minor complaint..It certainly brightens up my Starbase.. :(


  11. I just picked up this book and am starting to read it. Has anybody else here read this? I'm just looking for some general comments on this book. No Spoilers please! Did you like the book? Is Garak as intriguing in this book as in the show?
