I just received notification that Star Trek Limited Edition Replica Gift Set (Three-Disc + Digital Copy) (Amazon Exclusive) [Blu-ray]; is available again for the purchase! After first rush in to web shops it appears that demand for this item was higher than expected. I don't wander since there is limit to only 5000 certified items. It is so nice that Star Trek lives again. New adventures of Enterprise and it's crew with Spock, Kirk and others. Hope sequel will come soon as well. That's gonna be again time of wanders. This time, JJ Abrams with it's scenarist crews don't have to stick to the cannons of Star Trek. Scenarios for movies might be original. Lot's of speculation is connected to it, but I just hope new Blu ray DVD set will be OK after people get it home.

It is possible though that people with some models of Samsung Blu ray players get some problems watching it. It was reported by several people on similar DVD Blu ray issues from same publisher. However, I bet it is only problem of first generation players and newer models will not have same quirks.

Not all the hope is lost. This came as nice surprise. I also thought that all the copies of Star Trek 11 were already sold out.

Pictorial proof is here. Crew members of Enterprise are turned into Star Trek toys. It surprises me no one posted a word about it. Zip, nada, nothing... Guess people are not looking into Amazon search engine. I find valuable information there. Like this one. So I write first. This brings lots of visitors to Ferengi website. Which in turn brings a lots of latinum to Ferengi.

It is obvious that Enterprise will explore pink planet. Atmosphere is pink as well, indicating high ozone levels that block shorter wavelengths. So, planet is either new or pollution free. Actors are quite unfamiliar, but I'm sure someone will recognize them somehow. Any toys resemblance is just coincidence.

Sequel for 2009 also brings new uniform color - pink precisely. Female member is clearly new function in Star Trek. Maybe higher level academic officer, or commanding staff? I think it's merchant officer.... Introduced to trade with interstellar civilizations. Male figure is probably her assistant or security.

What will actually happen to them? Why 2009 sequel plays with scenario?

My sequel scenario goes like this:

Enterprise gets distress call from planet X. Kirk orders immediate departure. New crew members get introduced to the captain. Spock makes statement about logic. Like: "Considering trade scene frequency and tribble trouble, this is logical!" So, everybody agree that on the next away mission, trade officer goes first!

[To make following easier I'll name them Ybrab and Nek.]

So, Ybrab and Nek are beamed down on planet X. They meet Q, who is selling some stuff. They find out, that stuff is sugar wool. What makes things complicated is that sugar is made of colonists. Naively they ate the present, Ybrab and Nek got accused by Q for being cannibals! For punishment, he turns them into puppets...

Meanwhile, Enterprise notices peculiar energy signatures. Receiving no answer, they beam up Ybarb and Nek, only to find out they look like toy dolls... Scotty grabs them to play, but Spock halts him after tricorder scan. "They are humans! Scotty, stop playing with Ybrab!"

After brief discussion, Captain Kirk decides to send away team. This time him, Sulu and third anonymous member. (You are right, that member will NOT go back!) After meeting Q, short discussion and letting third member eat candy wool... ZZZZAAPP! Third party member is turned into a toy doll!. Now follows tricky negotiating part, involving attack from unknown primitive race, switching between couple of galaxies, times, planets and technology levels...

Finally, Spock releases mighty phaser modulated beam. Everything stops, and Q is helpless. However, he can't turn toy crew into old ones. They are forced to live like that. Cotton candy colonists got restored, but got fur, so they look funny...

And that's it more or less...

I know, the actual sequel will look different, but someone might need to increase toy sales, and this would be outcome...

Since I'm Ferengi who lives from affiliating with different businesses I must give you an offer to buy some toys for your kids! Take a look at toy collections I have here to offer...

Imagine Star Trek characters at Halloween night? I mean real one. They don't have to buy Star Trek costumes. Uniforms are provided, phasers with tricorders ready. Attitude is right, and make up perfect! No masks needed. Perfect for blending with Earthlings.  To boldly trick-or-treat where no treat has happened before.

Unless you're beamed down from Enterprise, you'll need Star Trek uniform. A tricorder is to scan candy for harmful substances. Full scan of house can discover hostile creatures. Phaser is helpful in diplomatic activities with inhabitants. Communication badge will keep you in contact with secondary away team, along with orbiting spaceship. Logic implies you get highest ranking uniforms for your party. Thus enabling you to give orders to low ranking Star Trek uniforms. Especially if they are not Star Trek 2009.
Away team should consist of different profiles. With multiple Star Trek masks at hand, you can be Changeling, which is really cool. There should be at least one Vulcan, one Human, and mandatory: at least one Ferengi. They are great if you convince them candy contains latinum... Klingon Warbird is great cause you can hide it really well - cloaked.

Here is how different Star Trek characters behave at Halloween:

TREK OR TREKKING BY SPECIES

• Klingon pushes the others aside to get to the door first. (Worf)
• Talaxian will only eat the finest of Swiss chocolates. (Neelix)
• Changeling goes around the neighborhood once, changes costumes and goes around again. (Odo)
• Bajoran stays at home and gives candy to the other trick-or-treaters. (Kyra)
• Andorians plan their costume for months, then won't go out because someone else had the same idea. (
• Vulcan wears a neatly-pressed suit and tells everyone they're a bookkeeper.
• Betasoid is still standing in front of the closet trying to decide on a costume.
• Romulan isn't in it for the candy.
• Ocampa will manage to wander to the next town.
• Ferengi makes a list of all the houses that give good candy and the optimal route to take.
• Borg builds the costume out of spare flashlights and spends all night tinkering when it shorts.
• Ba'ku skips the whole thing to compose poetry to the Moon.

To help you further in exploring neighboring planets (uhm, houses) here is a brief:

Starfleet Survival Guide (use of costumes or uniforms masks only outfit)

• When it appears that you have killed the Borg, "never" check to see if it's really dead.
• Do not take anything from the Borg.
• If you find a planet which looks deserted, it's probably for a reason. Take the hint and stay away.
• Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you're doing.
• If you're running from the Borg, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the Borg is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.
• If your ship runs out of dillithium, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking planet to call for help.
• If replicators and holodeck start operating by themselves, bail out.
• As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Q-continuum.
• Do not search the Jeffrey tubes, especially if the power has gone out.
• If children aboard speak to you in Romulan or any other language which they should not know, or if they speak to you using a voice which is other than their own, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. NOTE: It will probably take several phaser adjustments to kill them, so be prepared.
• Never orbit in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere near a Borg, Romulan, Klingon, Cardassian, or other ship of the kind.
• If you're searching for something which caused a life form reading and find out that it's just the tribble, beam off the planet immediately if you value your life.
• If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, beam away from them as fast as possible.
• If you are appointed as third party member along with Kirk and Spock, or any other two main characters, there is 95% chance you will end up badly on mission. Proceed to sickbay straight away.

I hope these advices will help you on your mission. If not, well, remember, only Kirk and Chuck Noriss can survive Kobayashi Maru.... Even without Star Trek costume

Remeber, your very own Ferengi merchant has Star Trek costume, Star Trek uniform, or Star Trek Phaser, and even Star Trek ship available here. Star Trek Stuff is here just for you. (I know the logic since I'm freak for Star Trek)
