I am the idiot they target with these things. I simply bought this for the Pins. I am a sci fi, robot, pop culture collector, and I love Star Trek to begin with and planned on getting the movie anyway. I bought my first copy from Amazon who offered a metal replica of the Enterprise. I then saw this one. So even though I already bought the movie, I got it again for the pins. I also bought a THIRD copy because they offered a replica of the Enterprise that holds the disc. So I can vouch for the fact that special marketing like this does sell merchandise. The movie is great...an excellent reboot of a classic franchise. They did the same with Lost in Space but with really bad results. Great actors playing great characters, in a great franchise, what more can you ask. Keep a special eye on Karl Urban who plays Dr. McCoy. I never thought anyone can play McCoy as good as DeForest Kelly, but Karl Urban comes pretty darn close. So if you like goodies with your movie purchases, this is it. Have fun.
What's great about it: The extra command pins
What's not so great: Some of the special features are not needed.
