I'm in the minority, but I'd love to see the Season1/2 Dustbuster phaser. Regardless, if it's TNG then it'll be the first bit of tech I buy from DST. Lookin' forward to seeing what's next.

I could see them possibly making a dust buster phaser down the line, but it would be a bad place to start since I don't think it's nearly as popular as the others.

I really wish they would provide some sort of stand with them, I know they're toys so they don't have to, but it would be nice for collectors.

As for the tricorder, they wouldn't have to put an LCD on it, they could just use one of the more common displays with some lights, and a different screen for the medical one. I'd be happy with that.

[weyoun_9]

I know…and I'll take what I can get. I do like the idea of a set like TOS with a Phaser, Tricorder, and maybe a communicator? Down the line, if it does well…maybe a medical tricorder and a hypospray?

[Alteran195]

I could see a phaser and Tricorder set. Dunno if DST will/can do communicators, it'd be cool if they made one like the old electronic one.

Not sure if I see anyone making a hypo spray toy, I could see some play value but not much. It'd be cool to have though.

Regarding the hint guys, didn't Zach already say the possibility of a ship being present is currently not good? Therefore, role-play item is what I'm assuming...
Also, I was trying to remember today why we're all assuming it's something TNG-related (I'm usually very good at remembering what's been said officially, but I'm drawing a blank as to where I remember seeing any TNG prop hints) - not to be a downer on it, but it's just more keeping my own 'hype' in check. lol

Gothneo, I was considering that, but I don't know if it's a question, so much as a little piece of information that I'd love them just to look over. I've no idea how they go about making the ships, but if it really is as (seemingly!) simple as taking a CG model/mesh, then honestly, I'd love to know if Tobias' version could be used. This is all just speculation mixed with conjecture, but as the ship doesn't seem to be in development, I'd like to think there's still time to influence any possible version in the future.
I really can't express how happy I'd be if any future DST Defiant was NOT based on that singularly bad CG version (as the AMT/Ertl model kit is).

[Alteran195]

I'd be surprised if it is TNG,I just really want a TNG tricorder. If it isnt TNG then I want the ST 6 Phaser, it's my favorite.

DSTChuck in the last couple of AskDSTs:

"As we go along I am sure we will look at TNG for inspiration"

"I think. yes, we do consider TNG each time so I expect it’s a matter of when, not if."

"We have our next role-play moving along and hope to show it at Toy Fair, after that we’ll have to see. There have also been several requests for the TNG phaser." (there was no mention of a TNG phaser in the question)

Hey DSTChuck. Is there any chance we’ll ever see Next Generation Trek Tek replicas?]

"A TNG phaser is near the top of the list of the items we would consider for our next role-play."

AskDST #241: Star Trek coming up soon?

[Alteran195]

Almost time to pack our bags and move into a shiney new thread.

Won't promise not to mention plastic.

*doh!*

[DSTZach]

Zach, anything you know about/could help me with? Basically, is there anyone at DST I could pass this information on to, just in a friendly/inquisitive sort've way?

 

You could Ask DST.

[DSTZach]

There will be a new role-play at NYTF, but not so sure about the ships anymore.
