Click on the image above for a larger look at this two page spread from the Galoob Star Trek TNG catalog.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The main focus in this is the two new figures for that year, namely Wesley Crusher and the Romulan. I’m particularly smitten with the Romulan as it’s the only character with ties to the original Star Trek series. Galoob sadly cancelled the line before these saw release.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Shuttles for the Galoob Star Trek TNG line would see limited release, as did the Alien figures. I would never see these at retail; I would only see them in collector shops for five times retail. This line’s distribution issues were right from the get-go it seems.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The die-cast Ferengi ship is another story. I DID see this at retail, at a Toys and Wheels store in Pickering, ON in July of 1989. I remember it because it was on an Enterprise card and my then-girlfriend said “Hey, that’s not the Enterprise”. I wish I had bought it, I don’t know how it got there but it was sitting on the close-out rack with the other TNG toys. Oh for a time machine.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Toy-Ventures Magazine<\/p><\/div>\n That’s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an old-school print publication dedicated to vintage toys from the 1960s to the 1990s.
