I know it's early to say this, but just in case...if there's anybody out there who wants Romulan Kirk but not Spock (assuming you can only get that Kirk in this 2 pack), I offer it individually now. I want to buy the two pack for the new Spock sculpt, but I'm not interested in keeping that Kirk, so when the 2 pack comes out, I'll buy it, but Kirk is up for grabs. Anybody interested?

It's early, like you said, but I'd be interested in that.

I wanted to bump this up, to see what people's thoughts are on the upcoming ToyFair.

It looks like maybe 5% of the presented by DST made it out to customers over this year.

So what about this year? In about 6 weeks will we see new items, un released items, or will they even show up at all?

On figure front, if the one's presented last year can't make, none can IMO.

[Gothneo]

You mean 5% of everything DST showed? or 5% of Star Trek Figures?

DST has several lines, and I think with the exception of Star Trek and Star Gate, they produced a good amount of what they said they would...

But even star trek we got more then 5%...

Quick list of what they showed at ToyFair (as far as I can find):
1. Chapel
2. McCoy (Medical scrub shirt)
3. Kirk (Green shirt - wave 5)
4. Romulan Commander
5. Mirror Kirk w/ Command Chair
6. Kirk / Spock (Voyage Home) (released)
7. Rom. Kirk / Spock
8. Sisko / Dukat
9. Worf / Gowron (released)
10. Sisko w/ Command Chair
11. Borg Queen
12. Locutus
13. Seven of Nine
14. Seven of Nine (Silver)
15. Borg Drone (Starfleet uniform)
16. Borg Drone 1
17. Borg Drone 2
18. TOS Tricorder - Science (released)
19. TOS Tricorder - Medical (released)
20. TOS Tricorder - Geological
21. TWOK phaser (released)
22. AGT Enterprise-D (released)
23. Enterprise-D (released)
24. Excelsior
25. Enterprise-B
26. Sulu (Mego Retro) (released)
27. Gorn (Mego Retro) (released)
28. Bridge Set (Mego Retro) (released)
29. 1:1 scale TOS Captain's chair (released)

29 items shown, 11 items released, which is more like 40-45%. We know, of course, that several items that weren't shown at Toy Fair were released throughout the year. NFC Gowron, TRU waves 2 & 3, TMP phaser, HD Enterprise, Mirror Enterprise, 3 versions of Tribbles, WNMHGB Sulu and Green Shirt Kirk w/ Command Chair. I may be forgetting a couple things as well.

As for this year, I doubt we'll be seeing anything new figure-wise, but we'll hopefully see their next Trek Tek item, and maybe the Klingon ship.

11 items released? Compared with other years in the recent past several years, 2009 was a good year for DST Star Trek items. Its easy to get frustrated over cancelations or delays but when you look at how many items WERE released, it looked like a good year to me.

[Gothneo]

^^^ That's kind of what I was thinking...

Oh... and DST did show (and release) the plush electronic Tribbles at last years toy fair.

I was thinking Rand was on that list, but she wasn't... DST added that later.

Really the delay/cancelation of the Borg Wave and TOS Wave 5 is what seems to have really pushed the stats down to 50%... those are 10 items alone!

[BadBunnyMike]

but with that, a lot of the releases were just Re-releases....you also forgot the Re-release two packs
