Sometimes I see something that reminds me of something and then I start seeing that something everywhere! You know what that “something” is for me right now? Star Trek! I know, I should be knee-deep in Star Wars right now, what with the release of the Blu-Rays, but no! Suddenly, there’s Star Trek everywhere!

Firstly, let me introduce you to the first “something” that reminded me of Star Trek. It’s a video game called Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator. While it isn’t a Star Trek game officially, it’s totally a Star Trek game, simulating the goings-on of a space vessels bridge.  You have is six different positions (Helm, Weapons, Science, Engineering, Comms, and Captain) and therefore space for up to 6 different people, each with their own computer, each controlling their own station.  The Captain doesn’t control anything, but he oversees everything and makes the decisions.  It’s extremely nerdy but it’s also extremely fun!  If you’ve ever watched Star Trek and thought it was awesome, this is the game for you.  It’s independent too so we should all support it!

Secondly, we got a brand new Star Trek board game called Star Trek: Fleet Captains.  It’s enormous!  It’s also made by WizKids, so you know it’s filled with miniatures.  This game is all about exploring space, building up your resources, and taking out your enemy.  The enemy in this game just happens to be the person your playing with.  Head-to-head space battles!  This game isn’t to be confused with Star Trek: Expeditions, which also looks pretty cool, but I’m not sure if it’s as cool.

And thirdly, I just heard that there’s going to be a new Star Trek video game.  It’s called “Star Trek” (how imaginative!) and will be set in the universe of the new films.  It’s supposed to come out next year.  It looks like an adventure game and it also looks totally rad.  I’m psyched to try it out and/or buy it.  Check out this interview for my info!

Glorious day, Anton is going to game 2. We are gona need his shot blocking awesomeness should we travel into a parallel dimension where we can make it to the next series.

We got in some cool stuff today, and restocked some old stuff. I think the best way for me to do this is in point form in no particular order, so here we go!

• Remember how we got in the awesome Picard in Command Chair figure? Well we just got a special San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Commander Kirk in Chair. As we know all great men sit in chairs, and the only true measure of how great that man is… is the size of his chair.
• We have re-stocked our Webkinz again, lil’ kinz mice and webkinz tiger snakes are back in for the 3rd or 4th time after selling out in just hours!
• DC Trinity Series 1 is in stock, its got Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Ra’s al Ghul, at $14.95 each. Buy all four and get them at $47.95, big savings and also cheaper shipping if you are buying long distance!
• There are some new Transformers in store today, they probably wont last too long. Stealth Bumblebee, Premium Jazz, Stockade, and Premium Barricade. They can be seen here.
• The new set of Chaotic, Zenith of the Hive, is now in stock in store and also online. The prices for them are the same as the first series of booster packs, $3.95 per pack and $84.95 for a whole box of packs. Check it all out here!
• The new Winnie the Pooh Pee-a-Pooh series is finally out. It appears they are re-releasing the first series with a couple new animals as well. They call it Series 1 -- Special Edition. They are all priced at $1.77 each, consequently $2 after GST and PST.
• Oh yeah and our Montreal counterparts put up a shameless Bakugan video on youtube. Check it out below. I cannot help but be mesmerized by the music.

 I hope to see you all at our hockey card trading day coming Saturday April 19th from 2-4PM, it looks like I am going to try and bring Mighty Ducks or perhaps even Mighty Ducks 2. Is there a Mighty Ducks 3? If there is, it is probably like Ducks in Space with little Charlie having animatronic arms that can shoot the puck so fast it sends Goldberg back to his oversized crib. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve a hankering for Emilio Estevez.

Well I think that is all for now! Until next time…

Cheers,
