MR still has not secured Star Trek license renewel for 2008 or any other s

Since MR has been too busy to trying to get the SW stuff out before the end of the year, they have left their licensing agreement for star trek until now to negotiate for 2008, at this time their license ends at the same time as star wars and has become complicated because of the release of the movie.

This is why we have not seen the D7 which according to Brian is on hold, or any other star trek products. Why do I get this sinking feeling that this is another nail in MR cofin.

It certainly does not make me confident in this companies business practices.

Wow, that is really shocking. I agree that this is not good for MR, and will put then in bad position to regain the license. They have not really done this license much service the past few years, and besides the Enterprise, haven't released anything else. I get the feeling besides Star Wars, they dont really sell much else, I know for myself, I was looking forward to what they would do with Trek, if they fail to regain that license, then I am not sure that there will be much left for them to keep them going, thay have not even started with BSG License they have. I wonder why Corgi/MR even merged, if MR falls, what was the point for Corgi.
