Check out this Hasbro KRE-O Star Trek Video by Bad Robot

Star Trek Kre-O Digital Short

While we’re on the subject of Star Trek Into Darkness and KRE-O, be sure to check out this digital short for the KRE-O Star Trek line, made by Bad Robot. They are the production company of J. J. Abrams. And to answer the obvious question, yes, the very self-aware and funny video has plenty of lens flare.

Also, Sulu shows us why he deserves his own cologne. (Spoiler: he cuts a dude in half!) Makes me wish Hasbro would back a KRE-O Star Trek video game.

Entertainment Earth Wants You to Star Trek Into Discounts

Still on a Star Trek high from seeing Into Darkness this weekend? Entertainment Earth wants you to Trek Into Discounts! Yeah, I know, it’s horrible, and I wish I could claim credit for it, but that’s what they wrote in the email notifying me of the 20% discount Entertainment Earth is offering on most of their in stock Star Trek gear. It includes a lot of great stuff from Diamond Select Toys, Hasbro, NECA, and more.

Live long and shop a lot!

This Changes Everything – Star Trek Select Parts are Interchangeable

SpockKirk

If you’ve been wavering about the poseability (or lack thereof) of the upcoming Star Trek Select action figures, this may help. Diamond Select Toys has posted that the parts that come with the Star Trek Select Kirk and Spock are interchangeable between figures. That includes the hands and lower torsos – my biggest gripe has been that the legs on these figures are static, but since you can swap between figures, that opens up a lot more posing options.

They also solved the mystery of why Spock comes with two Tricorders – one is open, and the other is closed. I do wonder why including two was more economical than including one that could just open and close, but I suppose the extra accessories will pay off if more crew members from the Original Series make it out in this line.

Free LEGO Iron Man vs Fighting Drone Set with $50 Purchase

Free LEGO Iron Man vs Fighting Drone

Iron Man is still going strong in theaters, though I expect Star Trek will take over the top spot this weekend. LEGO has the Marvel (and DC) license, but Star Trek is with Hasbro in the KRE-O building set brand – so LEGO is riding shotgun with this Iron Man promotion for a free set. The LEGO Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone is a $4.99 set, and you don’t necessarily have to buy Marvel LEGOs to get it.

For example, you might go nuts over these Lone Ranger LEGO sets – cowboys, Indians, and trains? That’s LEGO heaven, Kemosabe.

FREE Exclusive, Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone with purchases of $50 or more! Valid. 5.16.13 – 5.31.13

  • FREE Iron Man™ vs. Fighting Drone set with any purchase of $50 or more
  • Valid: June 16-31st or while supplies last
  • No Code Required

Get Star Trek (2009) Movie Download on iTunes with Tickets to Star Trek Into Darkness on Fandango

MLP GWP Star Trek FINAL Star Trek Into Darkness

I had posted this deal to get the Star Trek reboot as a movie download on iTunes with the official pics of the Diamond Select Toys Star Trek Select Captain Kirk, but with the sequel opening tomorrow (or is it today?), it deserves to be highlighted again.

It’s a simple deal – buy your tickets to Star Trek Into Darkness on Fandango, and they’ll send you a download code that you can use on iTunes to get Star Trek (2009) as a digital download. The offer is good until the end of May (or while supplies last – although I don’t really understand how they could run out of a digital download), so if you don’t want to face the crowds at the multiplex on opening weekend, take your time. I’ve tried to avoid as much of the hype / spoilers for this one, but I’m still pretty psyched to see it. What about you?
