Last October, I bought this AMT model kit. It looks cool, It comes with three star ships, and the box looks awesome! This model kit is anything but awesome. i spent about $25 on it and when I got home and took it out of the box, I realized it was going to take all night to put it together. If you look closely, you will see that it says "Snap-together" Just to tell you how snap together it was, I used about four tubes of superglue just to one star ship together, and I'm not talking about the big one. It didn't take long for the Enterprise A to get the warp pylon broke in half. Guess who needed more superglue. It took about a month for Enterprise A to get blown up to keep the klingons from getting to it and end up in the trash. The other two star ships didn't take long to end up in the garbage scow along with the Enterprise A. My personal opinion is AMT makes some of the cheapest most worthless model kits in the history of the world. Cave children played with stronger things than this.

Reebok Zig Tech. Look cool and are cool. The first week you have them, they are the most uncomfortable things in the world. But this is common among most new shoes. After you have broken in, they are quite comfy.

One thing I don't like about them is that they are very thin and tear easily for a pair of  $100 shoes. I have had mine for about a year now, and mine don't look like the on in this picture, mine are dirty and worn to death.
The Reboot from the old Star Trek series is coming out with a sequel in spring of 2013. There is little information about the new movie out there, but it should be starring Chris Pine as Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock.

  The last Star Trek movie had a budget of over $150 million. The Star Trek TV show had a budget of $500 thousand that they managed to drag out for about three years.
In 1988, during the first season of Star Trek The Next Generation, Galoob began to release action figures, die cast ships, vehicles, and hand phasers. Some of the figures that where released where Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Tasha Yar, Worf, Data, Geordi Laforge, Dr. Crusher, and Wesley. They also released a few other characters such as Q, Ferengi leader, Antican, and Selay.

  The Galoob Star Trek series was not as popular as intended. Galoob discontinued Star Trek toys in 1989.
The Galoob Star Trek figures scaled about 4'' tall,  that is about as big as Star Wars figures where at that time. I have two of the Galoob Star Trek figures, Captain Picard and Commander Riker.




Galoob figures come with a phaser and a tricorder.

You can still purchase these figures on Ebay for around $5 to $20. If you are a bargain hunter (like me) you will buy the chiepest "buy it now" you can find

Today on G4 TV, there was a marathon of some of the lamest Batman movies ever made. I would just like to point out that 2 face in bat man forever looks like he was blowing bubble gum and it popped all over
his face.












The 2 face in The Dark Knight looks fine, but really? This guy just looks like the grinch



             









 I think I like this look better.

 In the year 1992 Playmates Toys began releasing toys based on the TV show Star Trek The Next Generation.
They Released hundreds of action figures and several ships like the one shown. Playmates Star Trek toys where instantly successful, and they lasted a lot longer than the previous Galoob Star trek toys from 1988, but that's for a different review.

 The ship in the lower picture is one of  4 that Playmates released. This one is the Space Talk Enterprise D. The Space Talk Enterprise D looks like the first version of the Enterprise D that Playmates released, but it is different. The Space Talk Enterprise, unlike the original does not light up, instead it has over 100 phrases that are supposedly from the show. Other people who own this don't really like it because it doesn't light up, as for my opinion, I don't really care if it lights up or not, I like it.



 The third version from 1994 had "battle damage" running up and down the the sides of the ship. it also had to pieces that came off, I guess that they where supposed to be hull breaches. I thought it looked kind of stupid so I didn't buy that one.

 The fourth one was made of gold plastic. I didn't know why they did it like that. It also looked stupid.

And finally the fifth version, made to look like the Enterprise D in the episode "All Good Things"



Not what I wanted.
