Hated it.
If for nothing else, that J.J.Abrams took the chickenshit route and made it one of those "alternate timeline" theme's so it is not really canon, and DID NOT provide ANY history of the original characters. Just a so so summer blockbuster with a cast of forgettable "hotties of the moment".
Meh.
Have you caught any of the "new" TOS where they modernized the effects? Actually pulled it off not too bad.
What makes me cringe though? I was once talking to a local detective that investigates child sex crimes. He said "We always divide pedophiles into two groups...."
"Star Wars or Star Trek"
If you're talking collectible's, you would be looking at a lot smaller pool of "stuff" to choose from with Star Wars, versus how many movies, television episodes with how many characters in Star Trek? I.E. how many forehead prosthetics would Worf go through just for one episode in a season with a few dozen episodes?
Trust me, there is more in the way of Star Wars,
The Kenner Action figures from the late 70's into the Return of the Jedi number in the hundreds then there were the Power of the force series of figures that kicked back in in the 90's
there's a lot of stuff.
I recently bought a tote of action figures from a guy for $300. At the bottom was a Jawa action figure still on the card from the original run of figures.
Even with the card bent and torn and the plastic yellowing, I still got close to $700.
Trekkies wouldn't pay $700 for the enterprise itself
