Diamond Select Electronic USS Excelsior
 

i've always like the excelsior but what i really want is a kelvin, is abrams's trek off limits to dst?

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Uuuuugh. This may be the ship that I start buying the DST ships on. Always loved the Excelsior design. But I know if I start I'm going to want to start buying the others....

They dont have the rights to the JJ Star Trek.

It is, but the reasoning is still unknown. Supposedly it's because CBS doesn't want them to handle it. Though I honestly believe it's because DST doesn't want anything to do with nuTrek.

I too would love a DST Kelvin...or at least one the size of the large Playmates one's. Then again, I'd love to see the USS Titan get the same treatment...

Im pretty sure that Hasbro has the rights to all of the JJ trek.

Not entirely. Hallmark still does the ornaments (like the Kelvin coming out this year), Mattel is still doing Hot Wheels branded ships (the Kelvin, re-release of the Narada, and an Into Darkness ship), so I don't see any reason that Hasbro taking Playmates's old spot would keep DST from doing anything nuTrek related. That and Hasbro's licensing isn't specific to nuTrek product either. For example, the next two waves of blind-bagged Kreons is all Prime Universe stuff.

It could be true that they're being denied access to the nuTrek licensing, for whatever reason, but I still honestly think they aren't doing anything because they don't have any interest in producing anything from it. I'd love to be proven wrong, as I'd really, REALLY love to see what they could do with the nuTrek ship designs. Let alone the potential for action figures...like the one's they used to do, not these new Select things...
