Toyfair 2018 Discovery Products

Just seen the info on the phaser; it looks pretty good. Nice to see it appears to have all the play features you would expect (LED, ejectable power pack, etc). I’m definitely going to pick it up.
 
I thought it was surprising and bizarre that they chose T'Kuvma as one of the first figures to bring out, and apparently his early death threw them for a loop as well. I wonder which other figure they're going to make to give Burnham company -- Saru? Tilly?

And that phaser does look quite nice. And $34.99 US certainly beats the $500 or whatever the fork Anovos is charging for theirs! :D

Totally agree! Not bad. Only disappointment, IMO, is that the settings indicator light apparently activates only when the trigger is pulled, but for the price, can't beat it.

Wish I had enough posts to edit, but would add that its pretty damn cool if the battery pack light makes it into production as the video indicates.
 
No Reliant or TNG phaser huh? Guess they've given up on the license.
Nope it was depressing.

If anything, that just supports the theory that the events of the first two episodes were originally meant to play out throughout the season as flashbacks in each episode, and that the decision to instead present them as a two-part episode was made late in the game.

Probably Saru, being an alien and all.

Or you know, CBS didn't want to reveal too much of the story to QMx

We're not talking about QMx. We're talking about McFarlane Toys. Regardless, CBS didn't want to tell them a guest character from the opening two parter gets killed, despite the fact the lead character's fate at the end of said two parter was part of their promotional material for the show? Okay.
Chekov isn't in this one, I think you're thinking of that other Star Trek.

:vulcan:
I can't tell if you're joking or not. I'll assume not, as it gives me an excuse to be condescending.

I was not referring to Pavel Chekov, but rather Anton Chekhov, in reference to the common trope Chekhov's Gun.

Now you've learned something not related to Star Trek. Exciting day.

I'd really hoped the goofy Vulcan face would spare me from this, but I guess not. I've been gone from these boards for a while, is there a goofy face I can use when telling a joke so that I don't get a lecture about literary concepts I'm well and truly familiar with?

Around me? No. I have a well deserved reputation for being an anal pedantic and condescending ass.
