I don't know if we will get an ENT-C, but I hope we do.
The possibility is one reason I'm leaning towards buying the ENT-B instead of the Excelsior. Though I prefer the lines of the Excelsior without that extra bit they put on it for Generations, I'd love to have a display of all the Enterprises from AA/DST.

Unless of course someone somewhere then demands they also make the Enterprise-J or otherwise the set would be incomplete.

Then I just need to find a model of an aircraft carrier and space shuttle that are close to DST's ship size.

U.S.S. Excelsior NX-2000
U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B
It's also worth noting however that Rick over at NFCC does not have these listed yet, so I don't know if BBTS may be jumping the gun (or is that "jumping the phaser?") or if Rick simply just hasn't had the chance to update his site yet. In any case, I just thought this info would be useful.
By the way, the Toyfair pictures rock! I still have my "old" Playmates Enterprise-B (sans decals mind you) above my bed on my headboard/shelf, but the sooner I can switch it to the AA/DST one the better. Oh and we're finally getting an Excelsior toy that doesn't look like the Enterprise-B!
Okay, so what's after the Enterprise-B/Excelsior releases? Years ago over on the PA/AA boards, Crom once said "we'll do more ships once every ship named 'Enterprise' has been released." Of course, what Crom was getting at was that there would be no DS9/Voyager ships until each Enterprise had been released, and no non-Enterprise ships (alien or starfleet) either. Using Crom's logic, and assuming that not much has changed, here's where we stand:
- NX-01: Released...could use a "Starship Legends" reissue IMO complete with LEDs and the "updated' Engines from the BD NX-01/Mirror Mirror NX-01.
- NCC-1701: Released.
- NCC-1701 (Refit): Released.
- NCC-1701-A: Released... could also use a "Starship Legends" reissue along with the NX-01.
- NCC-1701-B: Scheduled for a Q3 2009 release (according to BBTS)
- NCC-1701-C: NEVER RELEASED BEFORE!
- NCC-1701-D: Scheduled for a Q1 2009 release (looks plausible) along with the AGT variant (also plausible.)
- NCC-1701-E: Released, but could use a reissue with LEDs "play cover" for battery compartment, and a bit of additional detail.
Okay, the U.S.S. Excelsior NX-2000 obviously throws a monkey wrench into the whole "no ships not named Enterprise until all Enterprises are released," but AA/DST might have decided to "bend" that rule so that they could release a "variant" on the Enterprise-B at the same time as the Enterprise-B herself.
Anyway, before everyone starts panicking, here's my theory on what's next, after the Enterprise-B:
- U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-C
- U.S.S. Defiant NX-74205
And of course, what I'd like to see after the Enterprise-B:
- U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-C with "Drydock" variant (or battle-damaged variant depending on which is the main release)
- U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E reissue (Nemesis' 10th anniversary is in 2012 if DST needs an excuse to justify this,) w/LED lighting "Play cover" for the battery compartment, etc. to bring the Enterprise-E "in line" with the rest of the AA/DST ships.
I basically feel that 1) The 1701-E needs to be updated and 2) Releasing the Defiant and Voyager at the same time would allow for a nice transition from the DS9 line to a Voyager line of toys.
In any case, bring on the Excelsior-class ships.

I don't think you can go by what Crom said years and years ago on the AA boards. A lot of things have changed and Chuck at DST recently said they will probably be doing an alien ship after the E-B/Excelsior release. I would say the Klingon BOP would be most likely, but with so many surprises lately who knows. Defiant after that, though, definitely before the Enterprise-C. But I do think the Enterprise-C will come before Voyager. That's just my prediction.

perhaps the Excelsior will have some phrases in it but i think i would be happy if the ships didn't speak to me as if it were captain Kirk or Picard this time.

I hope to hear Sulu this time: "Captain's Log, USS Excelsior. Hikaru Sulu commanding", or "Target that explosion and fire!" or "Nice to see you in action for one last time, Captain Kirk. Take care."
