Just wanted to start a thread...isn't Toy Fair soon? I'm VERY curious to know what's there...and of course what isn't...in the DST booth. Any prelim info to whet the appetite would be great and as people find pictures online, if they could post the links. Or, if you go and take your own, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to see them.

As far as Star Trek figures I believe we are only seeing some new Retro items.
They should have some ships & Trek Tek stuff too I guess.

If its a EMC MEGO Repo then its not what I want I don't care for the quality of the the Repos... but alas I may have to get it because it would be the only Nurse Chapel I'd have...

OTHER NEWS- Diamond Select wouldn't let me take pictures, but they did have the two new fantastic 8-inch Retro lines.
Star Trek- They had 4 new Mego-inspired figures- Christopher Pike, Marta, Nurse Chapel and the Salt Monster! They looked pretty good witht he Salt Monster being a pretty faithful reproduction. Chapel's sculpt was pretty good actually, but Marta's was a bit wanting. (In fact, Maybe it wasn't Marta. Marta was the green woman played by Yvonne C i realraig, right?)

Love the pictures, complete with "no pictures" signs. ;p
Oh, and didn't they say in a Q&A recently that Trek mini-mate vehicles were out of the question or something? Well, if they make that, I'm in. It looks significantly less idiotic than their other (BSG, BTTF, etc) vehicles. Spock will have a hard time getting in/out through that tiny door though...

I can't believe DST didn't have any Trek figures there. (or BSG for that matter)

I do, however, like that BOP. Having the landing gear is a nice touch, too. I hope the wings are able to move up and down as well.
What's happened to the TWOK comm?? The silence is deafening!

Not shown:
The TWOK Comm: I have a theory about this. ToyFair is supposed to be where toy companies show off their new products. We've already seen the TWOK Comm, so maybe they opted not to show it again and are going to release it soon, or opted not to show it again because it's no close enough to being ready for release. While it's true that DST could have canceled it, (this wouldn't be the first, second, third, fourth, or even 40th time,) I don't think that this would be the kind of toy that they'd drop; Trek Tek is supposedly doing well. It looked like DST's booth was smaller than usual, so I'm hoping that they really just didn't show the TWOK Comm, and haven't actually canceled it; maybe they're saving it for 2012 to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of TWOK or something.
U.S.S. Excelsior: I was admittedly surprised that we didn't see this ship given the fact that it was announced alongside the Enterprise-B. My guess is that DST either A) realized that the design is different enough from the Enterprise-B for the Excelsior to stand on its own, and not just be a "production variant," that they've already found someone willing to pick it up as an exclusive, or C) they revised the order that they're releasing their ships in, and this will follow the BOP and be the "NCC-2000" (rather than NX-2000) version of the ship to go with the BOP as part of an "Undiscovered Country" line.
Shown:
Klingon Disruptor: DST don't cancel this! As soon as I saw the disruptor my jaw hit the floor; my Playmates disruptor is in my bedroom, but it's kind of beaten up and ratty from when I was a kid, and I was just thinking how awesome a DST version would be. This is also a good Trek Tek choice because the disruptor isn't TOS-era or TNG-era specific so it probably satisfies everyone. While I'd admittedly prefer 24th Century Trek Tek first, alien Trek Tek seems to generally get the shaft, so I'd rather see DST produce this now than not at all. Besides, this could be considered "24th Century Trek Tek," so I guess I'm getting my wish.
Enterprise-B: I think DST has re-arranged their release schedule; originally it was supposed to be Klingon BOP 2010, Enterprise-B 2011, and Excelsior variant 2011, but now it looks like Enterprise-B 2010, Klingon BOP 2011, and Excelsior as a variant in 2011 or a standalone ship in 2012

The model they have to re-coupe investment on Ships and Role-Play seems to work, and the continued support of these types of items is exactly what I expected.
I'll probably get the Repo Chapel... only because it would be the only Chapel I'd have in any scale... but the rest of the repos don't really interest me.
