For those here that have ordered or plan to buy the new Star Trek game in 2013, which model are you getting and why?

(I realize there are many that might want to order one, but won't/can't. I'm interested in that too, but that's probably a different thread).

I am getting the LE because I like the look of that model (blue, mirrored backglass) the best and think it will look less dated over time.

No, but they are being produced after the LE models which I believe start production in a few weeks. I really hope the LEs are on the line for the Stern tour at Expo.

Yup, you nailed what I meant when I said "less dated" when you said "no actors". That's one of the reasons I consider TNG somewhat dated, despite the fact it's a great pin.

I may even get a Vengence translite to put on the (future) wall near the pun and I would absolutely love a poster of the Uhura/Marcus characters shown on the new Stern photo, but not on the pin.

The fewer actors on the art of a pin, the better. But I expect the licensors want to see exactly the opposite, since they are more interested in promoting te movie short term than the theme long term.

If the one on the right comes with my LE, this will be the best pin ever .... And since I know what happens to red shirts, I will gladly take it off to save her.

Congrats on your first NIB - nothing else like it in the hobby!
