Okay...depending on how my poll goes, this might be my list wish list thread. Someone had suggested "diorama sets" or "episode-themed" waves and I think that's a great idea. Granted, I'd love to see full crews, but maybe someone approaching each series from this angle could make the line more interesting AND could use this idea as a sneaky way to cover the full crews without having to rely solely on "Here's Harry Kim in HIS uniform, here's Dr. Bashir in HIS uniform." It could be a much more creative marketing tool which ALSO could be a way to bring us a few more unique aliens. It's not just a Sisko/Dukat two-pack...but it's Sisko and Dukat head to head in the Fire Caves of Bajor with a special Kai Winn engulfed in flames in the background. (That last part might be a little much). Oh, and PS...this is something that the Star Wars line does a bunch.

So, I have a few ideas...but I'd love to hear other people's as well. To save space, I'll do one set for each series and I'll keep the post horizontal so it doesn't get too long.

Episode Sets:
Enterprise: Season 4 T'Pol, Archer, and T'Pau in "The Forge "TOS: Kirk, McCoy, and Mugato from "A Private Little War" TNG: Sela captures Spock and Data in "Unification"
DS9: Sisko Faces off with Kai Winn and Gul Dukat in the Fire Caves in "What We Leave Behind" VOY: Janeway Rescues 7 of 9 from the Borg Queen in "Dark Frontier"

Starfleet/Villain Sets:
Enterprise: Archer/Vosk TOS: Kirk/Koloth TNG: Season 1 Picard/Judge Q DS9: Sisko/Dukat VOY: Janeway/Maj Cullah

Anyone else? (And yes...I realize I have a lot of free time on my hands...I take public transit and my busy time at work comes in cycles)

The one for Enterprise that comes to mind is T'Pol and Trip in the Decontamination scene!
TOS: Definately Kirk and Spock with Horta
TNG: Q with Judge Chair
DS9: Gotta get Quark with Bar, Morn on Barstool and another with Rom and Leeta with Dabo Table
VOY: I can't really think of any but it would be kinda cool to see something from Tom Paris' Flash Gordon like holodeck program.

For Voyager, "Flashback"

Janeway and Tuvok in Classic Movie Uniform

Decker & Ilia would be my choice for a 2-pack. Full crews on a bridge set would be a wet dream for many but I can't see it. A full set of the Motion Picture crew from the promo shot including Chapel and Rand in the background and I'd be in heaven...

[Pauln6]

The marketing machine is lumbering into action as the new wave and 2-packs have been featured on Trekmovie.com. I really hope the popularity of the new Kirk sculpt can give us an Enemy Within 2-pack. I need my Rand fix. Hmm Chekov and Chapel would be a convenient 2-pack to complete the other TOS 2-packs they gave us as well I suppose, although I think they were requestes by TRU so maybe not.

I've been watching "Star Trek" lately and was really admiring the production design on the Horta and the Guardian of Forever. I understand why many would think the Horta looks silly, but I think it looks really neat and even plausible as an alien creature. I almost wish we could have seen a modernized version in a later Star Trek series. They would make terrific toys.

I love the idea of a Quark's bar set too. It could be like classic playsets like TMNT's Technodrome and Batman's Batcave. It was such a fantastic set, it's a shame it wasn't kept intact and displayed in a museum. And yes, it MUST come with a figure of Morn! That guy had some of my favourite alien makeup in all of Star Trek and was endearing and beloved because of it.

[weyoun_9]

I actually agree with the Horta and Guardian assessments. I love 24th Century Trek, but they seemed very anti non-humanoid life forms. I think they may have figured that if they didn't have the budget to do it well, they'd rather not do it at all...which I get...but I hope that when the next series finally makes its way onto the small screen they try to include more unique and exotic non-humanoids.

A Quark's Bar set would be AWESOME! Of course Morn would be there. Being bi-leveled, it would probably serve well as a display, too.

Other sets I'd love to see:
TNG Sickbay with either Doctor Pulaski or Labcoat Crusher...or maybe both (one could be an SDCC exclusive and the display panel could change)
Klingon Great Hall with K'Mpeck
V'Ger set with Ilia and Decker

I still think the Captain's Chair idea was really good...I think the marketing of it was just handled poorly. They could have cut Maltz and had Kruge in a Klingon Command Chair. Janeway/Chakotay could have come in a larger command center...so many possibilities.

[weyoun_9]

It's not a bad idea. If it were successful, I think a first officer set would be lovely as well as others down the line, if possible. Also, I would have Picard in Season 1 uniform and here's why...if they did add more follow up sets, there is too much TNG Season Seven out there...Season 1/2 would at least give collectors something new. Same with Sisko...I'd go Season 4:

First Officers: Doctors: Engineers:
T'Pol (blue or white jumpsuit) Phlox (no EV suit) Trip (Columbia?)
Spock Bones (short sleeves) Scott
Riker (Season 2) Crusher (S. 1 w/coat) LaForge (S. 1/2 variants)
Kira (Bajoran Uniform) Bashir (s. 4) O'Brien (s.4)
Chakotay EMH Torres

After that the groupings get sketchy...I keep thinking about how it would go (since I have a lot of time at work with not a lot to do). I think maybe something like this (in no particular order). Actually...I think these all make better Legacy Waves...but that's because I think they could do really well. Or maybe it's just that I would buy all of them. Either way :

Travis Sato Reed Soval Forrest Daniels
Sulu Uhura Chekov Chapel Rand Pike (wheelchair)
Wesley (s.1) Troi (Bun) Worf (s. 1/2) Data (s.1) Guinan Yar
Worf (s. 4) Dax (s. 4) Odo Jake Quark Garak
Paris Seven of Nine Tuvok Kim Neelix Kes

I thought that was a goat

[weyoun_9]

I both agree and disagree...yes, re-hashing the flaws of AA/DST has been done, and done again, and rephrased, and paraphrased...and quite possibly translated into Klingon...I think it is something that people still feel the need to wrap their brain around because it can be hard to understand the differences in quality and consistency from wave to wave...maybe it's been said enough but maybe some folks still need to address it...

THAT said...THIS thread was not intended to be another thread about AA/DST's good and bad points. It was strictly meant as a place to make up stuff we'd like to see, how we'd like to see it. So, while I don't think that fantasizing or hypothesizing about what could be is necessary beating a dead horse, I would say that the riff on AA/DST is a horse for a different thread. This thread is supposed to be all about fun, creativity, wishful thinking...and in many of my personal cases...lack of a lot of better things to do in the office.

So, if anyone still wants to play on this thread for that reason...at least you know I'll be checking it out and sharing your musings. And hey...if the thread isn't your ball of wax...that's cool...there are plenty of others to choose from.
