Ok, come on people, let’s get to bragging about all the Begolds we got:
Went with Kira; so timely!
Went with Will Scarlitt. Did not realize all these old Worfs have sound bites (got Mirror Worf a few weeks back and loving his).
Duelist Torres. What are you gonna do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Navigator Stamets.
Finally finishing a card! 😃
Ho boy, this was a hard one but for all the wrong reasons. Decided to go with Palmer because I’ve actually met Mae Jemison (she’s pretty awesome).
Went with Kirk.
Nearly went with Martok but then remembered for a mere $10 more I could get that Spock FF!
Had two other ones I didn’t get pics of: FF’ed Gladiator McCoy and 3rd star for Augment O’Brien. Still have enough for 10 more 40K honor buys, so stay tuned.

Went with Sulu, Chakotay (finally!!) and Burnham.
I picked up a 2nd and 3rd star for Enemy Lines Sisko; second stars for Fury Kes and Chancellor Gowron; and first stars for Niners Worf, Mirror Intendant Kira, Dahar Master Koloth, Judge Q, Kamala, and Annorax.
Screenshots:
Went with Niners Worf
Went with Mirror Intendant Kira.
Took the second star for Enemy Lines Sisko. I had passed him up a couple times on beholds. Not this time.
Went with Dahar Master Koloth.
None really interested me, but went with Red Foreman.
I wanted to add a second star to that Picard, but added a 3rd star to Sisko after getting a 2nd a few pulls earlier.
None really interested me, but went with Kamala. She was the prettiest of the three
I know Killy is a fan-favorite for the arena, but I added a star to Fury Kes.
Added a second star to Chancellor Gowron.
Last pull for the day -- Although a bad card, took Judge Q because he is an iconic character and I don't like the Discovery Klingons.
But... you could have had Shinzon instead of Burnham.
I probably shouldn't joke. The way my day is going so far, I'll wind up with a brutal behold in which he is actually the best choice.
10k Behold
Though choice, I like all 3 cards, I could have added stars to Troi and Mambo Picard (I have the unclaimed gift in my inbox), but I really like that Data (I was thinking of using crew retrieval to get him, now I can use Android to get Juliana Tainer)
40k Beholds+cite
Gorkon, because yeah, Klingons!
Another difficult choice. My premise today was adding stars instead of going for new cards, so I should have picked Data, but I always wanted that Sisko, and that Garak is the coolest. Went with Garak
That just MED McCoy was tempting, I was just following that thread recently, and I almost picked Chakotay so I wouldn't be sorry if Kortar shows up again, but I went with Immortalized Kortar anyway
It was Lore or Janeway, this time I went for the second star
And again, I should have got the 3rd star for Quark, but FOB is miles ahead in stats. FOB, of course.

Honestly, I like Tom Hardy enough that I did (very briefly) momentarily consider it.
A great curse for players of this game might be to say: "I hope you get a Begold of Changeling Founder, Dr. Soong, and Shinzon."
Janeway
Lonzak
Bashir (but I really don't know which choice would have been worse)
For these I forgot to take screenshots, mostly because the other options were so bad that the choice was obvious.
I'm happy about my third star on Kira though
- Alternate Future Jadzia (2)
- Falcon O'Brien (3)
- Obsidian Order Garak (3)
- Bounty Hunter Mudd (2)
- Little John Riker (1) --> only beGold with 3 new crew options
- Prince Bashir (3)
- Mobile Doctor (4) --> sadly he was fully equipped long before Cheesecake Seven came along
- Mirror Landry (4)
- Kortar (5) --> finally immortalized one of the original mega recurring crew
- Assimilated LaForge (4)
Admiral Patrick > Borg Torres and an immortal (10K pull)
LC Jadzia (now 2/5) > Over people who aren't in collections
Toque Spock (now 3/5) > Delta Torres and someone worse
Merry Crusher (now 2/5) > Delta Torres and someone worse
Juliana Tainer > Over people who aren't in collections and don't have bananas stats.
If I had a do-over I probably would've went for a 2/5 Delta Torres but I can't predict the future.
Summary:
Two costumes. Two exobiologists. One Vulcan. One lean, mean viola-playing machine. No Klingons, Mirror Universe or Diplomats.
58k Honour left. I'm on the fence about whether I should buy 6x Begolds or 2x Begolds and 1x Citation.
- Disguised Kira (new) - over 1 new 2-skiller and an immortal crew - ugh.
- Sphere-Builder Presage (new) - over Orion Vina(4) and an immortal 5* ... so tempting to just finish and freeze Vina (collection!) but I've wanted Presage for ages ... the missing link in the Delphic Expanse, all other crew there are immortal (including Sato) ... fairly happy with this.
- Niners Ezri (2) - great to add a second star, can't remember the other options being memorable. Happy about this.
- Rain Robinson (2) - another add over two lackluster/new crew. Fine, one step closer to the freezer.
- Dr. Katherine Pulaski (2) - again another add, again okay, nothing great, but at least a * ... other options were a new 2-skiller or an immortal crew.
I'm really just looking to add stars to whomever, Presage was a key pick-up (can't cite who you don't own) and pretty much the last of the collection crew I was gunning for (Holodeck is a very long-term project) ...
I have 66k left, not sure what to do ... 6 10k or 1 40k + 2 10k. We'll see. Now just to figure where the cites will go (after the sale naturally).
Everybody on this forum: “You really should have gone for that secon-“
Me: “FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOM!”
Winner winner, chicken dinner.
Tucker
Picard
Borg Queen
Shinzon
Worf

La Forge

Hey, don't mock my Kai!
Don't know how I missed this earlier, but thanks Admiral!
First 5
Worf. I joked about Shinzon earlier in this thread, so it was karmic that he showed up in my first behold.
Crusher. Love the art, even though the stats are just ok.
Archer. Coin flip with Tuvok. Sorry Mr. Vulcan.
Saru. Day 1 Rule - avoid FF'ing anyone just in case they show up again. Can always go back with cites to finish off Minty or whomever else.
Dax. Because... Dax. First new crew in this sale.
Second 5
Keiko. OK, I hear your groans of disbelief. Day 1 Rule again. Long-time forum readers may also recall that I am a believer in 2-skill crew. They are my day-shuttlers, which allows me to never risk picking a shuttle crew that I might need for a voyage. It's a system that works for me. You don't have to agree.
Madred. I suppose Troi would have been ok to pick, but again, Day 1 Rule.
Mulhall. A personal favorite of mine. Would have been hard to sway me.
Mulhall. You're seeing it correctly - 2 beholds in a row with Mulhall and Thrax. Gotta love the RNG. Mulhall still shows as 3* because I was waiting to fuse until I was done with all 10 beholds. Day 1 Rule broken, but at least I did it for a character/card that I like.
Lorca. Remember, I like 2-skill cards.
The second attempt...not so good. I think I'll treat this as buying a cite for 39,450 honour.
Starport
Gary Seven 3rd *
Stranded Quark 1st *
Interfaced Barclay 1st *
Mirror Keyla Detmer 2nd *
Dahar Master Koloth 2nd *
Narek 1st *
Away Team Number One 1st *
Mirror Stamets 1st *
Gangster Spock 1st *
Prophet Sarah Sisko 1st *
No hard choices in any of these. Picked-up some good extra stars for strong crew, and added depth to the roster. Will use the cites over coming weeks as I work out who needs them most!
I love that behold Myimaginary. Burnham and Cornwell are immortalized and Q2 has his hands up as if to say, “guess you have to take me.”
My selection so far
You are so right 😅
Another good haul from day-2, though I'm 3000 honor short for my 10th pack:
- Riker Odan (2)
- Detective Data (4)
- Emperor Georgiou (5)
- North Star T'Pol (1) --> other options were both immortalized
- Tourist Tucker (5) --> into the freezer for this 2-star champ, to make room for T'Pol
- Dark Ages McCoy (5)
- Humbled Archer (2)
- Prince Bashir (4) --> added stars both days
- Alternate Future Jadzia (3) --> added stars both days
EDIT:
For my last ~40k honor I decided to go with the daily 10k beGold (4 crew), rather than a single combo pack (2 crew), since I already have a ton of citations waiting to be used.
- Dr Hugh Culber (2) --> for a moment I thought I was going to have to take... Grilka!
