Hi there

I have a sealed copy of this release with a yellow sticker "PM Sample"

Anyone knows what it could mean ?
What is "Hottiger" ? a Person's name ? a shop's name ?
Why would this copy be marked as "Not for sale" ?

maybe because that's one ST film I enjoy the least:)

Maybe its one STAR TREK I like better over STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS.

takou, keep it the Dolby mix on that film rocks in AC-3.

i've only ever seen those white pioneer sample stickers.
that looks cool but it may just be an internal sample or something to make sure final packaging is O.K.??

OK then, the mystery stays on...

Maybes it was reserved for a customer who never collected it?

It's just a sample copy of the full production run. It is designed to indicate that no monies were charged for the item. You see this on record label samples all the time. Pioneer USA used to put a huge "Pioneer Sample" sticker on the jacket that WILL NOT come off.

ah!! the Japanese Prime Minister's personal copy! always did have a sneaky suspicion the fellow was a serious Trekkie...

Well isnt that what is wierd with this ? There is no real sample sticker, only a wierd sticker that been put on the plastic. Never seen a sample sticker like that. Japan has always been very strict when it comes to promo issues. This would not be enough to make it count as a promo. Maybe its an oversea "promo"-copy that somebody gave away before order was decided...
