I am one of the most loyal DST customers there is. But I won’t order one more thing until my tricorder arrives.

ebay will probably end up with all my business. Or Entertainment Earth or New Force Comics. but I won’t pre-order another thing from DST.

And MC1 Doug–Where did you read about the 12 inch kit?

Yes a 12 inch kit will be produced by round 2 (formerly polar lights) I doubt we will ever see bigger though since its in 1/2500 according to R2. That would make a 1/1000 scale Enterprise bigger than the current 1/350 scale refit.

I want a scale model of the new Enterprise, something along the size of Polar Light’s refit Enterprise (35″ long).

I think I read somewhere a 12″ kit is coming…. I want bigger…. yeah, I’m suffering from Enterprise envy! LOL

Stop releasing 50 shades of the same character and get the tricorders out the door, DST.
What do you people get paid for?? Yes, I know, bad build quality causes delay and you’re trying to get us the best possible product at great prices. You did such a great job with the phaser and communicator. Hats OFF to you guys.

But for crying out loud?? The tricorder would’ve been out 6 months ago if you weren’t wasting your time on a bunch of action figures that people basically already have. FFS!! If someone wants a Kirk in a Romulan outfit, or a Sulu with a cut on his cheek, or Uhura with pearl earrings instead of diamond, THEY CAN MAKE THEIR OWN.

Get the good stuff out there!

John, Thank you for these product announcements. I hope to see something from you about the Mattel die-cast Star Trek ships.

#10 TWOK communicator was announced to be released late thi years or early next year. The way DST keeps pushing out dates we will probably see it in 2011.

The line in the movie novelization where Kirk accidentally (maybe) calls his accuser Commander Spork is actually moderately amusing.

I almost wet myself laughing at the spork moment in Wall-E

That TOS tricorder release date has been pushed back about a dozen times now (and the price has increased substantially).
