Everywhere I go Star Wars is now one of the slowest moving lines. The well isn't just dry, I think it's dust, until Disney starts making new movies.

What I'd like to see is Hasbro cut Star Wars in half (So they still have a presence, and still get worthwhile stuff out), and have the energies of the Star Wars team rededicated to Star Trek.
I think that combination would benefit both. You have a team that's accustomed to making 3"-4" toys with actor likenesses, they already know how to do vehicles for that scale (Not that trek has many vehicles suitable. Just shuttles. Maybe a Millinium Falcon sized Runabout). Star Wars really needs a rest so it can rebuild itself, AND I don't think Star Trek has what it takes anymore to be a giant sized line. A smaller kid friendly but collector oriented line for both, with the same team working both, I think is what they need to survive.

Hasbro owns Galoob, right? I WANNA SEE NEW TREK MICROMACHINES!

Well, Star Wars has managed to keep content in theaters and on TV consistantly the last decade. The same can't be said of Star Trek. With all the new Star Wars movies coming out I think it will be bigger than ever the way Disney promotes stuff.
