Star Trek: The Complete Original Series Blu-ray $69.99 #BlackFriday #Deal

November 23, 2013

I think The Original Series was the most appealing and satisfying Star Trek for both the casual and also the most determined, invested viewer until at least the 2009 movie came along and, arguably, seduced the casual audience yet more successfully. Now is a good time to add them to yours, if you have't already. Amazon is running their Black Friday Deals of the week and today's Deal of the Day all things Star Trek . The Star Trek: The Complete Original Series (Seasons 1-3) [Blu-ray] box’s SRP is $179.98 but Amazon have just slapped it with an amazing 66% Savings at a $69.99 price. All of the discs included are region free, so they’ll work internationally, and there’s plenty of supplements including alternate versions of episodes and tributes to the talent. Above all else, though, there’s the astonishing Blu-ray presentation. These episodes never looked this good on broadcast, and I found some scenes to be absolutely jaw-dropping.

Star Trek: Into Darkness

May 24, 2013

So I used my $8.00 Coupon and went to see Star Trek: Into Darkness last night. All I can say is that I was very pleased. Abrams did an excellent job of keeping his universe unique while staying true to the original. I enjoyed the little homages he threw into the movie like Spock's "The needs of the few, outweigh the needs of the many" and Bone's "I'm a doctor not a torpedo specialist." The movie was enjoyable and I'd recommend it to anyone. It was easy to follow even if you are uninformed about the original Khan or the genetically engineered humans from the 90s. One thing I did notice is the reveal of Khan was lackluster, they up played the music and it was supposed to be shocking and suspenseful but for me it wasn't. I also couldn't get over Abrams signature Lens-flare for his futuristic look. Actually I never noticed it in the first movie until somebody pointed it out, now it's hard to overlook. The movie also did a very good job or ...

Kre-O Star Trek

May 11, 2013

If you like Star Trek and Legos you will want to check out the new Star Trek Kre-Os. I've purchased the Transformer Kre-O sets that Hasbro has released and they are excellent. I've heard reviews before that say they are poorly made or about the quality of the stickers, but for me I've had no issues. My co-worked just purchased the the Star Trek sets and they are nice as well. There are a total of 5 playsets (Enterprise, Bird of Prey, Shuttle Craft, Transporter, & Space Dive), 6 blind packs (Klingon, Keenser, Lt. Sprog, Grasia, Gorn, & Cpt. Nero), and 4 display ships (Enterprise, Bird of Prey, Jellyfish, & USS Kelvin). You can pick them up on Amazon or your local Toy store. Right now you can save 10-40% on Amazon
