STAR TREK BEYOND stories don’t take the weekends off, and we’ve got a few news updates for you this Sunday morning.
First up: for those of you who still buy DVDs and Blu-rays, be on the look out for this BEYOND movie ticket promotion, which launched with the in-store release of the Wrath of Khan – Director’s Cut Blu-ray last week.
Commonly seen on home media releases in Wal-mart, Best Buy, and Target stores, these “movie cash” promotions often appear in the weeks leading up to new theatrical releases. While only available on the hard-to-find Khan release so far, watch for it to show up on other titles in the coming days – your best shot is at Best Buy, which has several Trek re-releases set to hit shelves this week (very likely with this promo included.)
Once you have your promo sticker – which has a special code on the back – you can redeem it for $8 movie cash at ActivateRewards.com/StarTrekBeyond for use before September 9.

Savvy fans of the Funko POP! product line may have noticed that there were a few figures missing from the BEYOND POP! announcement made last month – release numbers 354 and 355 were not included with the initial rollout release.
Yesterday, we got our first look at #354: an FYE-exclusive variant, featuring Captain Kirk in his Starfleet “survival suit”, as seen in the BEYOND trailers.
Originally spotted by Instagram user meangene924, this store-exclusive release will retail for $12.99 and be at FYE in mid-July.
BEYOND POP! #355 is still yet to be identified, but we’ll keep our eyes out for that news once it arrives. Our speculation would be for a variant of Spock in his USS Franklin uniform.
