    Starfleet Security was a division of United Earth (later Federation) Starfleet that, role-wise, were normally depicted as being somewhere between naval infantry and military police in practice. They guarded ships and bases against intruders, escorted and protected VIPs, and investigated criminal activity. They're not soldiers, but they've got that "mildly military" thing going on that all of Starfleet does. You're probably thinking of the MACOs from Enterprise. They were a detachment of soldiers from an elite United Earth military unit that seem to the space version of Army Rangers or a Marine Corps reconnaissance unit. They were on loan to Archer and the NX-01 Enterprise for the duration of the Xindi emergency, but had a separate chain of command that led to all kinds of jurisdiction friction with the ship's Starfleet security chief (Lt. Reed).

    Any chance I get to complete skull squadron in this lifetime? I would’ve appreciated DYRL Roy, the extra super pack I got for it years ago is now growing roots.🤣

    Wasn't Starfleet Security (in the TOS–Next Gen era) something along those lines? I may be conflating the origins of the M.A.C.O.s from Enterprise here though... 🤔 It begs the question: is Starfleet Academy the Nu-Trek answer to The Orville? (albeit, coloured by the show runners' interpretation of Star Trek as seen in Discovery et al.)

    The War College being a post-Federation United Earth institution would have made more sense. No such luck, though. The series makes the War College out to be an alternate Academy that may have existed alongside Starfleet Academy as far back as the 28th century, that this is its first year active on Earth alongside Starfleet Academy, and that at least one Starfleet officer in the cast (Lura) graduated from the War College instead of the Academy. To each their own. I had kind of the opposite reaction, though didn't think either set of episodes was great. I do agree that one of the show's main weaknesses is its insistence on treating the freshman cadets like a particularly unruly grade school class instead of the fairly mature and highly professional young adults you'd expect to be attending one of the most exclusive educational institutions in the Federation. The vibe is less "fun shenanigans" as "standards must've slipped".

    Just got back from seeing this. It's a more straight forward, slightly less ambitious but also slightly less opaque film than its predecessor. It keeps up the consistently good quality the other two established. I hear the sequel has already been greenlit, which is fine in my book; I'll be looking forward to it.

    I read this post previously and decided not to ask. “In other news, I assume BBTS is just not coming through with my Tread. I dare not ask them about it, since they might be looking for any excuse to cancel my pre-order.” At this point I guess I’ll hit them up and see what they say.

    No, it won't. But thinking is a good thing; too bad the writers don't do enough of it.

    If the WRITERS would overthink things it would be better. WE can think all we want but it won't change anything till the writers do.

    I just assumed that the whole 'war college' thing is a left-over from when Earth was not part of the Federation, post Burn. In Disco, we saw that Earth had it's own defense force and I'm assuming it is still in existence, in-effect right beside Starfleet, and maybe fodder for future integration back into Starfleet as things progress. As to the show, the first episode was all right, but these last two were hokey nonsense! My gawd! That's not to say I have a problem with the plot, but just the decision to turn the Academy into basically a futuristic version of Animal House, and not done very well at that. Drop the attempts at comedy and get to the overall story! In fact, this would have been better if these cadets were third or fourth years, giving them more leeway to get away from the frat house um, the Academy. May give it another episode before deciding to abandon this one. Man, really wish they'd given us another season of Prodigy...

    At this point, I doubt they're coming through but have you asked?

    Hey All, I had never used BBTS before but the Tread and Legioss were my first purchases. I know that they're known for delays but is there still a chance that they'll deliver or should I just write it off and look elsewhere on the resell market. Thanks!

    Looks like some Hobby Town locations are doing a builders workshop and you get to build the basic rookie soldier kit from 30m Fantasy for free. Just got the email from hobby town this morning. Not sure if it’s every location or just certain ones

    Really enjoying these figures for the price. The only downside is the packaging puts stress on the joints on the figures by having them in a fixed pose. I still think the S.H. Figuarts figures are better for adding face plates for the figures and extra hands. The Dragon Stars range look good and pose well.

    Must mean Amazon.jp.

    This one is most likely not coming to US as a WWM release due to limitations on the original SDFM series and movie by Harmony Gold.

    Thank you, that does give me some idea, but I don't exactly equate ebay prices to prices people here might pay. Altho, since ebay prices are usually much higher, if subtracting 13% for ebay fees, 3% PP fees, etc, I think I'd rather just keep them if I can only expect to get $60 for them.

    You can always check sold auctions to gauge a price.
