Don't get me wrong, I definitely want that Phaser, communicator, and Tricorder, but I also want a FC Boomerang Phaser, Phaser Rifle, and a Type II Cobrahead as well. If I had to prioritize TSFS and TNG releases in a wish list, they'd probably look like this:
1. "First Contact" Phaser Rifle
2. "First Contact" Boomerang Type II Phaser
3. "Search for Spock" Phaser
4. "Search for Spock" Communicator
5. "Next Generation" Cobrahead Type II Phaser
6. "Search for Spock" Tricorder
I think DST's motto should be "you can never have too many phasers," because that seems to be the mentality that they took with TOS, so there's absolutely no reason that they should be able to please TSFS and TNG fans, quite possibly at the same time. If a TNG and TSFS phaser means sacrificing another TOS phaser variant, I'd definitely welcome it. Don't get me wrong, I love the TOS phaser, but I already have virtually every significant variant I can find, and duplicates to boot.
As far as that TSFS Phaser goes, this is DST and we're asking them to build a Phaser...isn't that like asking the NSA to be secretive?

I think part of the problem is that STIII is one of the least popular films.So when DST are looking for retail partners it would be next to impossible for them to sell a STIII item no matter how good it is.Witness the disappearance of the Excelsior that they showed at last year's toyfair.
As it goes i've always loved STIII,not a perfect film but very good nonetheless.

Everyone seems to talk about TWOK and TVH when they talk about favorite Star Trek films, but i have to say that TSFS was every bit as good as TWOK and TVH, maybe better in some ways,and i certainly liked it better than TVH hands down. To each his own though. I hope we will see some TSFS tech eventually and i would like a set of TSFS figures as well, including Kruge and Maltz.

But back on topic. The ST III phaser is my all time favorite.
