Took the risk on a begold, and was promptly reminded why I'd switched to spending honor on legendary citations only...
I now have a one star Sulliban Reed, instead of the 5th star on RAF O'Brien I'd been saving for.
Agreed. Granted, I got a Xindi Insectoid Counselor out of the behold but it puts me behind on my citation plan. Even so, the temptation to pull another one once I hit 27k honor again later this week hasn’t gone away.
We are all downstream from each other and ourselves, therefore choose to be relaxed and groovy. Consider participating in civil discourse, understanding the Tardigrade, and wandering with the Subspace Eddies.
I did buy one ad actually got a Janeway Arachnia as my behold choice. This made my Janeway Arachnia my very first and probably only fully fused fully equipped 5 star, and I've been playing since the first year this game came out.
The only others that I have close to getting fully fused is Surak at 4/5 and Kortor at 4/5. The other two are Mirror Spock at 2/5 and Mobile Doctor at 2/5.
All my other 5 star will be forever stuck at one star because I can't afford to get them fully fused, unless I'm lucky with a "free" portal pull, since I save my monthly card dilithium for Voyages.

I also bit on the 27k begold. I ended up with a 3rd star on Gladiator McCoy instead of the 4th star on Da Vinci that I was saving for. Not as bad as yours but still.

Doesn't cost money to fuse a 5* just patiently saving honour. This deal will test your patience of course. Of my 13 FF 5*'s only two were done by the horse-shoe in butt method and both of these were featured in events twice. Both were also partially fused from event packs, partially from random pulls.
I had 150+K Honor saved up and decided to give the fates a try. 440 Honor on a single pull that I can't remember now. But then I dropped the 4000 on the 10 pack and got a BeGold. I walked away with a Paw Rath Keiko. Not really what I was hoping for but, Can't really complain about getting the best base Commander in the game, even if command is my strongest skill. I mean she's over 1000 Cmd at 1/5*.
I'm tempted to do another one. But I already have good crew overflowing into the airlock along with, Dancing Checkov, Tuxedo Nog and Prince Bashir still sitting in my mailbox.
Doctor Carol Marcus, Tailor Garak, 150 Enterprise D Schemes, Ensign Vorik, 150 Ni'Var Schemes, 150 Hirogen Warship Schemes, Doctor Reyga, Commando Crusher, The Viceroy.
Begold: Protomorphosis Worf {>2*}, Arachnia Janeway, Degra
Temporal Shift Kes, Donik, 150 Reliant Schemes, Doctor Reyga, Commander Kor, B'Etor, Hockey Paris, Groundskeeper Boothby, Commander Kruge.
Begold: Species 8472, Alternate Future Bashir, Protomorphosis Worf {>3*}
Commander Chapel {>3*}, Ensign Mendon, 150 Voyager Schemes, Commander Maddox, Third Remata'Khan, Private S. Money, Hockey Paris, Third Remata'Khan, 150 Ni'Var Schemes, 150 Defiant Schemes.
All3* converted to Honour. Temporal Agent Seven as well. Also, equivalent of 2 5* and 2 4* Citations from added Stars. No Schemes were for Level Up this time. Replicator Fuel if maxed out.
Honour Spent: 20,000
EDIT: Five times Single Pulls:
Mara
Ogawa
Ambassador Fox
2x 100 Cardassian Galor Cruiser Schemes.
EDIT TO ADD ALSO:
That second Begold was rough, but I was firm. Still freeing up Crew Slots, so I resisted 8472.......
"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
Good luck today - best begold/most difficult choice ever:
Had to go with my guy, Mr. Millipede. Forgive me, Kosst Amojan!
Other than that, 2 begolds from honor pulls and a couple more very difficult begold choices. I am LOVING this deal, my indecision and reluctance toward citations has finally paid off!
2. T'Rul - new, behold with Anij (have her FE 1/4) and Blood Oath Jadzia (immortal). Rest 3* Honor and ship schematics (probably should have gone with Anij, but T'Rul is part of two collections I need help with).
3. Mirror Reed - new, behold with Lissan (new) and Enabran Tain (new) - went for the option to complete my Reed collection, the others seemed pretty meh anyway. Rest 3* Honor and ship schematics.
4. Honey Bare Jadzia - new, behold with Rachel Garrett (new) and Garak, Elim Garak (new) - Was almost swayed to take Rachel, but have read so often that Honey Bare is great so took her. Rest 3* Honor and ship schematics.
I'll be doing more of these pulls for sure, they have done wonders to add to my collection (picked up Captain Killy last round and more stars for 4* crew).
EDIT: Did my 5th for today ... Mirror Jen Sisko - already immortal, non-behold. Rest 3* Honor and ship schematics.
Overall a good haul for today ... will take a while to build up Honor again for another purchase (down to my last 1000) ... I have absolutely loved these 10x Honor pulls, even though I have not been able to maximise the number of pulls done. I will do as many as I can before the deal ends.
Up next the Threshold pull ... almost there ... 100k off.
I had enough Honor saved up to be able to do a total of 8 Legendary Behold pulls over these last 3 days, and following were my results:
- 6 of the 8 gave me at least one option to add a Star to an existing member of my Crew, and so it was nice to be able to do so at 54% of the cost of a Citation; I did however bypass on doing this with 1 of the Beholds as I could not resist finally adding Gangster Spock to my roster
- the other 2 Beholds each had 3 characters that I had not owned previously, and from the available options I chose to add Enabran Tain (like Gangster Spock, another character with decent potential for use in The Gauntlet) and Benny Russell
- of the total of 5 Stars I added to existing characters, 3 lined up for a single one (North Star Tucker) allowing me to take him from 1/5* to 4/5*
Overall, I am happy with my results, and hope we will see a similar sale again in the future.
I wish they would extend the begold sale... I am about 15k honor short of getting one.
I'm disappointed with the end time. Any one who purchased it right away when it went live is going to get to purchase it for 4 days in a row. Anyone who purchased even an hour after it stated will only get to purchase it for 3 days. They really should have let everyone purchase it all 4 days
@Shan Was that intentional to let some players do it for 4 days in a row but others only 3 days in a row?

Are you sure that some people get 4 chances? Shan's post on the previous page made it sound like the timer was unique to each player.

sooner or later you'll be able to afford citations for those 5*...unless you buy more honor pulls and happen to land more stars! so far i've gotten a 5th star for Cornwell, 3rd stars for Debra and Culber and a second for Ilia, and new 1/5s of Gorkon, Vreenak and Chaotica, along with the final stars I needed to freeze 4* Barclay and Rianna and free up their slots.
All of that would have cost MUCH more honor than 4K each, so if you're willing to gamble, you could end up "saving" quite a bit on your "honor debt"...and remember you can always go back to just stockpiling honor once these offers are gone!

Since it started at 3:20 and resets based on when the player bought it, with it ending at 3:30, it means anyone who bought it in the first 10 minutes should have an additional reset (with a 10 minute window to purchase).

Player specific timers are tricky, and that is something that I brought up so we can be more mindful of it should we do similar offers in the future.
Well, i didn't manage to save up enough to get a legendary behold, and so tried a few 10x packs. All honor. 12k honor spent ending up with roughly 3500 left over.

Well, results weren't completely terrible. I burned some extra honor, got a better return than buying strait citations. But overall, was reminded why I don't spend dil on packs any more : /
But all told, if they offer this again, I'll prolly jump again. Not on the begolds though, just the premium packs.

I got lucky with both, overall. Counting Starting up SuperRares and Legendaries, versus buying Citations, I think I came out ahead.
As noted, both 27,000 Honour Begolds today gave my lusted after Legendaries.......
"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
Just had a double BeGold off one 4K honor pull. That, combined with a Captain Killy the first day means I’m not regretting not buying the discounted legendary Behold. Even if it means a few first level 1/4s are headed into space.
