In Topic: I don't get it. Why can't we be told what the next ship is?

The problem is the time frame. If the Ent-C is announced as the next ship, how long would it be, realistically, until we have it in our hands? Two years? I feel like I've been hearing about the Reliant for at least that long now and it still hasn't been released.

I gave up on DST and went all in on Eaglemoss. Sold all my DST ships except for the Enterprise D, the AGT Enterprise-D, and the Klingon Bird of Prey. Even if DST is still making ships, the wait time is just insane.

 

Eaglemoss just started their mega-sized ship line and already two of them are out (1701, 1701-D), another has been announced and previewed (1701-E), and a general direction for the line has been announced ("We plan on making all the hero ships.") That's how you do this if you want to keep your customers interested.

As far as JJ Abrams stuff goes, I think the ships would probably sell pretty well, but the action figures, not so much. I know a lot of Eaglemoss collectors really wanted the Kelvin timeline ships for their collections. But is there anyone out there who really prefers to have a Zachary Quinto Spock action figure over a Nimoy Spock? 

 

As far as the next DST ship goes, it feels to me like there won't be one (after Reliant). I think the line is probably over and DST is just hedging their bets in their public statements. Honestly, I can't think of any other reason not to just announce what the next ship will be.
