For Star Trek:
I'd like to see Mega Bloks continue their line and launch a new line of construction sets for this year featuring sets based upon TOS, TNG and especially DSC.
An Enterprise D set (perhaps smaller than their 50th Anniversary Enterprise) would be amazing as would the TNG bridge as well as the shuttle craft Galileo and of course the ship(s) from Star Trek: Discovery.
I'm looking forward to some cool TNG tie ins to celebrate the 30th Anniversary too. Art books etc
Looking forward to what cbs put out in terms of merchandise for Discovery.
Eaglemoss' continued success with Star Trek and especially the large ships they're releasing.
From Lego:
Im looking forward to seeing the Lego Ideas Saturn V rocket, I think that'll look amazing.
Would love to see Lego do a creator Lamborghini set like they've done with Ferrariand other car makers.

DST: I'd like to have the Reliant, and I'd like to see the Defiant, or a K't'inga class.
Eaglemoss: Keep doing what you're doing, they're making everything I want.
Round 2/AMT Ertl: More pre-painted 1:2500 scale ships, maybe even larger scale. Top of the list is a bigger Defiant as always, but I'd really love a Refit/Reliant/C/K't'inga.
The Wand Company: A Boomerang or Dolphin phaser TV remote.

DST: uh right now just the Reliant and some news on the next ships.
Eaglemoss: A large scale Prometheus, Akira, and Enterprise-J A large scale runabout would be welcome as well.

DST's Reliant, I doubt it but we'll see.
Eaglemoss Franklin and Beyond Enterprise A.
QMx's mini master Trek ships, maybe a new movie era commbadge.
I'd love more ships from mega blocks, preferably at the D7 size if possible since it's actually affordable. I'd love another big collectors set too.
From The Wand Company, I'd like a TNG Phaser remote and the new 12th Doctors Sonic Screwdriver.

I want to see the start of a TNG line from Funko. Hopefully more detailed than their TOS one was.

I just started collecting the Batman Animated figures from DC Collectibles so whatever else they've got in store has my interest.
Since DST still has the rights, I'd love to see them offer Star Trek Minimates for the 30th Anniversary of TNG. I'm picturing at least a box set with enough parts that allows collectors to create other characters and build a complete bridge crew with just a couple purchases. A proper series of 2-packs would be great but my expectations are high enough as it is.
Other than that, I can't honestly think of anything that's gotten me excited about toys in 2017, especially since I got out of Star Wars a couple years back.

Oh, and I really love Eaglemoss. I’d love for them to make Alien/Aliens ships, Babylon 5/Crusade, Battlestar Galactica (both shows), Firefly, 2001, Blade Runner, Futurama, U.F.O. and Space 1999 ships.
And I would spend a fortune on a Real Spaceships series: Saturn V, Shuttles, Mercury and Gemini capsules, Apollo Command and Lunar modules, Skylab, etc.

I'm really surprised they didn't make a U-Wing to go along with Rogue One.
I'd love for them to make some prequel ships too.
A Venator Class Jedi Cruiser, an Episode 2 and 3 Jedi Starfighter, an Arc-170, the Acclimator class assault ship, and an AT-TE.
It doesn't matter if you liked the movies or not, the prequels had some great ship designs.

DST: I'd like to see TOS movie Communicators & Tricorders (Trek 3 & 5).
Wand: I want a TOS Tricorder multi-media player (to complete the Landing Party set).

The big issue with the Disney die cast ships is that they are prone to warping, which means you have to buy them in store.

I'd like to see them do the Finalizer. You know would it really kill hasbro to do a revival of the collector fleet I wouldn't mind getting a starship legensds style Imperial class star destroyer or SSD or Finalizer.

As inexpensive as the first release is now, I'm glad I waited to jump into the line because the deluxe version appeals to me more. The figures and batsignal that come with it are a huge plus, too. And with the Expressions Pack they're offering, I can display multiple Batman figures with different looks.
The Batwing, however... That's like furniture.

Ahh...what I want I'll never get. I'd like a complete 6" or 7" scale TNG Season One crew: Picard, Riker, Data, Troi, Worf, LaForge, Crusher, Wesley, Yar, O'Brien. Troi's Bun, Wesley's rainbow sweater, an alternate head for Tasha with closed eyes and the red splotch. Plus a collection of season one aliens.
Like I said...not happening. But I can still think about it!

EM are doing an Alien collection,but only seen figurines so far. Can't remember if they showed any ships at Comic-Con last summer,but they should be there again this year and if they are I'll go by and have a look,and hopefully talk with Ben again about some upcoming stuff.

There's a recent post in the starship collection thread with a video of an interview with Ben from EM. It's kind of hard to hear. He's asked briefly about the "specials" for Aliens and then he mentions some ship names such as Sulaco. So it sounds like the ships are the specials of that line.

I'd like to see QMx finally release their history of space flight ships seen in Into Darkness. I'd love a decent £400/500 replica ship between 15 - 20 inches long. Just the popular ships; TOS Enterprise, Enterprises D, NX-01, Kelvin, Enterprise 2009, Reliant, refit 1701.

"Many thanks to youze guys (Dave Combe and Tony Robinson) for the Q&A video with Ben Robinson. Really makes collecting these things a lot of fun.
Questions for Ben! Take 2 (rev. 1)
Are they planning a mirror uni Warp Delta or SS Emmette variant?
No but not we would never do them. The TOS Ent, NX Ent, and Defiant are the entirety of mirror uni ships planned for the partwork.
Status of Phase II Ent?
Its coming. (see next question)
Which Planet of the Titans Ent is gonna be a reg release and which one's gonna be a con special?
The two Adam/McQuarrie concepts are delayed due to legal complications.
In lieu, theyre gonna do Matt Jefferies Phase II Ent refit and Andy Proberts Ent-C prototype design.
Why is the Type 15 shuttle called the Aldrin, a non-canon name?
Its Rob Bonchunes CG file and was used in Trek calendars; name from Rick Sternbachs list in book.
What's the 4th shuttle from the 3rd shuttle set?
Argo
Any word on the T'plana Hath or T'Pau (Apollo-class)?
Both are coming from Rob Bonchune, waiting two years for them. TPlana is in landed configuration.
The SC-4 mesh was mentioned by Fabio or Ed as upcoming. Can Ben confirm it as a reg issue?
Doesnt think its on the slate at all. Not saying they wouldnt do it in the future but its not planned now.
(note: it did briefly appear as coming soon text on one of the CG artists STSS gallery page, I swears it)
Not Trek-related: Which Alien/Aliens ships are they doing? Specials? Nostromo with refinery coming?
Nostromo sans refinery and Sulaco.
12-ship BSG partwork is coming from both Battlestar Galactica series (6 from each show): classic and new Galactica + classic, Mk. II, and Mk. VII Vipers + classic and new Cylon Raiders planned; maybe Colonial Raptor + Colonial One + Cylon Resurrection Ship
Will there ever be a Scimitar/Narada/Dominion Dreadnought?
Narada very unlikely due to complexity of design and materials required; Scimitar may be possible but its still problematic. No info re: dreadnought. All Nemesis CG files are lost.
When will he announce the next 5-10 issues?
Soon.
Any chance of a fixed Negh'var in the future?
Nah, unless its redone as a jumbo issue.
Will the Jumbo Refit, A, and C receive the same love as the Big TOS and D?
Indubitably. The As paint scheme is particularly problematic to match. Geometry of C is improved for jumbo version.
Are we going to see a D separation model? Or even the Prometheus in multi vector assault mode?
"They were always on the list but not, sort of, the first (in line to do)."
Will they be doing any Jumbo non hero ships such as Borg Cube, Bird of Prey etc
Not sure but therell be four jumbos a year and years to go.
150 extension?
Too early to tell.
Will Canadian subs ever start up again?
Not in Bens hands. Aware of problem.
Will you make the Yeager class and will you send Dennis 10 copies so he can really learn to love it?
Yeagers coming, Dennis. Wants to ensure that most canon Starfleet ships of the line are released in the 130.
Whats up with Shuttle Pack 2 at the webshop?
On hold whilst they sort the Type 15 shuttles registry issue. Set will eventually ship once thats fixed.
Why are they doing the concept version of the Type 7 shuttle rather than the onscreen design?
Andy Proberts preference.
Status of the Titan and Aventine?
Expected in the autumn, near the end of 2017. Reconfirmed that the Ent-F is possible if the first two sell well."

Yeah Whirly,noticed that vid. Not watched it yet. It was posted after I posted my comment,lol! Guess I should've waited. They did a signing in London,at the Westfield owned mall,if I remember correctly. Would've been fun to be there,but hoping to see Ben at Comic-Con in July.
And can't WAIT to see what QMx,and everyone else,has to show at the con! Maybe there'll be some fun stuff at the UK and US Toy Fairs too. And those are coming up real soon!
J-R!
