Star Trek?
 

All of those look wonderful, especially the DeLorean but I was really hoping to see some new Star Trek Art Asylum releases. Is that something that Art Asylum themselves would announce or has Diamond Select taken a break from that license for awhile? I thought they were hugely popular and that new Romulan Bird of Prey looks fantastic. Anyone know anything?

I believe the USS Reliant (Miranda Class) has been in development for many months. Considering the unique shape & configuration of that ship, the product developers are probably faced with a unique challenge in trying to come up with a toy design that will fit neatly into the standard size box while minimizing steps required for assembly (e.g., attaching warp nacelles and support pylons for weapons pod) + avoiding potential design flaws (e.g., weak joints, wiring, quality control). Display bases for previous ships have been such a headache over the years; they're probably very highly motivated to avoid similar hassle if it can possible be avoided.

Reliant is my favorite ship, by leaps and bounds. This release will be a grail that I've awaited for ages, and if doing it right means further delays, I for one am happy to sit tight! :o

Off topic, for those who are interested: the Axanar lawsuit may go to settlement next month. Keep your fingers crossed, as the outcome will have ramifications for all future fanfilms, not to mention the implications for those who perceive general encroachment of fascism in modern corporate law.
