I haven't heard or read much else about when NewForce and the other online retailers are expecting this wave. Anyone have any information yet?
Hope you hall had very Happy Holidays

They should be in early to mid January. With the holidays, information and communications are expectedly scarce.

I have a feeling that they will show up the same time as the stargate series 2 that I have preordered which will not only be a blow to the ole wallet but probably cause some tension in the household too LOL .

DST's site is listing Lore's release date of 2/7/07. So they may've been pushed back again. Are the DST Trek lines like the DCD lines where they have a specific release date nationwide?

[DavAnthony]

Another delay, give me a freakin break.

LET'S GET ON THE BALL DIAMOND !

Keep in mind that DST's store stocks things much later than others to give their retail partners a head start on sales.

Then Stargate SG-1 Wave 2 should be here now. The DST store has an availability date of 1/4/07.

I'm hanging for April this year. By that time we should have the Season 7 crew complete. Provided the first half of the Crusher wave is still coming in March.

Then, only the Gods know when we'll complete the Next Gen movie crew!

[DavAnthony]

I'm doubting we will get the Crusher wave by March. If the Data/Laforge wave is this delayed I just can't see DST getting the Crusher wave out in time.
I would gather that by this point we won't see Data/LaForge wave until Feb or March, so Crusher probably won't come until June or July with the movie wave probably not hitting until Spring.

I heard it's been pushed back to Winter 2010 and the Crusher wave Summer 2020.

Typed sarcastically.

There are a lot of delays with DST does anyone know if that Buffy line they do also suffers from so many delays?

[slayerone76]

^ Oh yes! Buffy gets the same delay treatment unfortunately. I think this is one of the reasons, and I know there are others, that Trek and Buffy haven't done as well as they would have liked.

[JMW326]

The same can be said for Stargate. DST has so many delays between all of thier products that many people start to loose interest between waves. If they would keep things coming at at a steady rate or at least not let so much time pass between releases then the sales may be a little better.

Awesome....only 13 years till I gets me Beverly figures!!

That's true. I was planning on picking up some of the TNg guys but I don't want to bother anymore (just the movie ones now), of course, I am in the same boat again with the Stargate figures but I will wait to see how long series 3 takes to come out.

Is a Nemesis Geordi and Crusher coming with wach wave? I would love to finish my TNG movie line.

[Artistix]

God knows when the movie figures come out.

My pictures from Toy Fair...or SDCC, wherever the 4th wave was first shown....says the S7 Beverly was a February release, as was the movie figure...but then DST changed their release pattern, & everything was pushed back.

It's crazy to now see DST have taken on the 24 license....they are having enough trouble with the products they currently create!

[anti-hero]

Anyone else notice that the DST store doesn't have phasers listed for either Data or Geordi? I wouldn't care if they didn't actually come with phasers since I have so many extra...but not having phaser firing hands could really suck. I guess on Geordi it woudn't be that big of a deal, but come on!...no phaser or phaser hand for Data! I mean it's great that he'll have his cat and violin and all...but no phaser!! Or are all of them listed that way? I checked one from the earlier waves and the phaser was listed tho.

[Artistix]

They have their accessories listed somewhere??

Data has the violin & Spot, what are Geordi's character specific inclusions?

Geordi would have to be the most challenging as far as that goes....I wouldn't know what to give him!

[DavAnthony]

I remember Playmates gave the Laforge figures a engineering "tool box", some scanners, tricorder and a phaser. I think that would work, but I agree DST really needs to start giving the figure phaser firing hands.

[Artistix]

Playmates gave Geordi some medals as a character specific accessory...though I can't pinpoint the episode they are from.

They could possibly include the optical scanner being used on him in 'Cause & Effect' or 'Insurrection', though that is still Starfleet equiptment & nothing too interesting.

I gather the tool kit may be it for Geordi.

[NewForceComics]
