Diamond Select toy Star Trek III phaser coming

Now most websites say JUNE of this year.

WTF? 3 more months? Unbelievable, seriously. :facepalm

I pre-ordered mine from Kirin Hobby (since New Force wasn't taking any orders) in January.
And they said Febriuary at that time; then I called them last month, and they said sometime in March.

So now it's gonna be June according to other sites and Kirin Hobby's page says "Back-Ordered".
I don't even know what to say anymore, even though Diamond Select's website says "1st Uarter, 2015".
 
Just went to the New Force Comics website and it's back up for pre-oder.

I also called the store and spoke to someone (it's an actual store in Panama City, FL)
and the guy said it's in production and will most likely be out sometime by May.
(Just a guess on his part since thier website is taking pre-orders again for $29.99)
He said it could be sooner, but then again later. His best guess was "first quarter this year".

Man, I want Diamond to make the Tricorder from ST:TSFS. It would go so well with the new Phaser.

...and the communicator. Might as well have the whole landing party set just like TOS...as long as they don't cheapen up production on the toys like they did with those.
 
Forgot about that movie communicator, that's one sleek piece of equipment. So glad I got a few of the TOS comms with the metal covers. I didn't know they changed to plastic later on until I read it on the RPF a while back. Shame, I blame the kid who swallowed the plastic battlestar galatica rocket back in the 70s, that's why we can't have nice things.

Well well, it's almost June and no change in delivery day yet.

Fingers crossed it doesn't get delayed till August then October and so on ................. :lol
 
According to a Facebook post by DS a couple of weeks ago, it will be a couple of months before it will be released. I asked them why did they post an updated shipping list the day before that still showed May, and they acted like they weren't even aware of an updated list. I honestly don't expect it until next year at the earliest.
 
I regularly search for Diamond Select's YouTube videos concerning the ST3 Phaser. I've noticed they tend to post demonstration videos of their stuff prior to release. To me that would be the best indicator of an impending release. So far, other than the static Toy Fair examples and the one image of the white plastic prototype version, nothing else has been shown.
 
I'm having no luck with phasers this year. I ordered this one in November of last year, they took my money, but alas. Then I ordered two twok phasers from new force comics, and idk what's going on with those guys. They've tried billing me three times, and are having like issues.... Yawn..

No one should be taking money until it's ready to ship. Who did you order from?
