It looks like a June 1 release date and it seems at least one Online site is taking Pre-Order....but I seem to be having trouble with my order.
Anybody else Pre-Order this yet?
Also I saw Quariors as well but it looks rather expensive.

There is a promotional art poster we have hanging up in our store that says June 15.
Also, not sure if this has been confirmed elsewhere, but my boss handed me a copied Q&A sheet regarding the game. It had a couple of interesting things I didn't know about.
1. The figures will use a clix dial with a window revealing stat information. As has been previously confirmed, this stat information has nothing to do with standard Heroclix; they are not compatible. They only share a common mechanic - statistic information represented on a clix dial.
2. Data from the character cards:
- James T. Kirk
Skills: Diplomacy, Combat
Action: Transfer one crew between you and any other player.
- Mr. Spock
Skills: Analysis, Engineering
Action: Look at the face down card in any one location, then return the card face down.
- Dr. Leonard McCoy
Skills: Medical, Medical
Action: Heal one other player in your location with one die roll.
- Nyota Uhura
Skills: Communications, Stealth
Action: Draw one Energize Card and keep it or give it to any other player.
3. Missions, of which there are three basic ones, all have different paths they follow depending on the level of success at each stage of the mission. The Q&A page has a diagram of the cards used in the Politics tree. In the first part the crew can get a high or low success. For each of them, they lead to a second part of the same mission, each of which can get a high or low success. Those cards were too small for me to read, but I am starting to get a clearer picture about how this game works.
...now, if we can just get Professor Pyg confirmed.
The trek Clix have the new dials they're putting on everything from now on. Got to seem 'em on the demo copy the store I hang out at had and it was incredible. I loved em.
- The cool new dials turn very smoothly. The bases are bigger than Heroclix bases, but since these aren't really Heroclix I suppose that doesn't matter.
EDIT:
- I fell asleep yesterday, but I finished reading the directions today. I will try to get a game going tonight or tomorrow.

We picked up the game last Sunday and played a game. The game isn't as complicated as the size of its instruction book suggests.
Basically, each player (1-4, yes, it can be played solo, which I consider a major selling point) picks one of the 4 main characters, Kirk, Spock, McCoy or Uhura. Each space on the planet gets a plot card and an item. Each turn, a "stardate" card is flipped over which gives the current player a certain number of actions and triggers events. Once the events are resolved, you perform your number of actions going to different locations on the planet and attempting to resolve the plots found there by getting your skill numbers boosted to where you can solve them. Meanwhile, the Enterprise is in combat with a Klingon ship in orbit. Many of the items on the planet can be used both to boost the Enterprise or to help solve plot points, so getting the most use out of them involves careful timing and balancing whether it's better to take damage now at the cost of making plots more easily solved or not.
I've played one game at the simplest difficulty level (there are three) and had a great deal of fun. I'm looking forward to making my regular gaming gang try it out next Saturday. It should be a blast.
Note that an FAQ/Eratta has already been released.
