Toyark just posted several articles showing DST's booth, and supposedly everything. 

 

But there isn't any Trek. 

 

Can anyone else confirm or deny if that's true?

Hilarious if true (or if they've been told no photos of it)!

I thought Zach said he though Reliant would at least be there. 

 

I suppose disappointment in DST at these events nowadays is pretty standard for us.

At least we still have companies like QMx, and now Macfarlane who deliver.

Does this really surprise anyone anymore?? One lie after another from them. I doubt we will ever see another Trek item from DST again.

They always do this. Usually no Trek pics show up until Sunday if they show up at all. Most of the toy sites seem to have very little interest in showing DST Trek products. They probably figure there is no big rush since the product won't hit shelves for another two to three years anyway. Lol.

Just read on a FB post for Ghostbusters that DST had NO Trek at Comic Con. Enough with the lies DST just say Trek is done. If they're still doing Trek you'd think they'd have something to show. I'm tired of the " pending approval" crap or it's just not ready. How many years does it take to show one ship???? Their credibility has sunk to a new low.

DST is a joke. I can't even bother to try and defend them anymore. 

 

"We've expanded our Trek license! But we aren't going to bring anything to SDCC the year Trek returns to TV, and other companies are going to be showing Discovery merchandise."

DST = Disappointing Star Trek

 

In all fairness, we just found out about the expanded license a little while ago. I doubt there was enough time to develop product for SDCC. All McFarlane has is the Kirk and Picard figures which were probably produced months ago in order to vie for the license in the first place.

 

If there's NO Star Trek presence at the DST booth at all, that's a different story.

Even if they don't have products ready, they could expand on what the hell "expanded license" means. 

 

Show concept art for what is in the works, because they no doubt have something. If the second mystery ship is in the works, show what it is like they did with Reliant. 

 

Speaking of Reliant, where the hell is Reliant? They had a model of it at Toy Fair, where is it now? Or the Borg Select. 

 

Its been said multiple times what DST could do to improve their handling of the license, and they do nothing different. 

 

You'd think having Macfarlane as a direct competitor they'd step up their game, but I guess not.

I want to say its not suprising but Zack seemed adamant that we'd see the Reliant at SDCC.  Either way dissapointing unless  JMW is correct.

Yeah, didn't see any preview items for Trek there on Friday when I picked up the Cheeto-prise. Not sure if I'm keeping it to satisfy the completist in me or if I'll sell it.

Hmm, I'm beginning to wonder if DST have dropped Star Trek - the only thing that would suggest otherwise is the god awful exclusive

I mean come on, let's face it, DST are hardly trying anymore. That exclusive was appalling and sums up DST's Star Trek line right now; cheap looking, tacky and half arsed.

I hope I'm correct and some stuff pops up tomorrow. Lol. I was sure that Zach said we would see the reliant and Borg select at SDCC. But who knows with them any more, they do seem to like to troll their Trek fans .

Wouldn't the Cheetosprise be at least counted for something. Not trying to defend them. I haven't bought anything from them in years

Theyre useless with Trek, but seem to do pretty well with every other license that they have.
