Earlier this week I saw a post about the miniatures from the aborted ST Axanar movie going up for sale. Now the post is no where to be found. What happened? |

Check studio Bergstrom. I believe they are your go to source. |

Maybe Paramount found it. |

Actually, Parzival, I think the closing of the Axanar store was part of the settlement…. |

A friend of mine got the Axanar minis some time back and they look great. |

I suspect they got reported to CBS. The 1500+ page trekbbs axanar complaint thread was quite up in arms about it for example. The day after the annoucement Studio Bergstrom posted a pic of someone with their head up their butt and labelled it an IP lawyer while simultaneously removing all mention of it from the internet. |

That's nonsense! Does Paramount own those designs? No! Therefore they should be allowed to sell them in miniatures, print, model kits, whatever! This is just more corporate IP thuggery. |

Mutant Q I agree with you 100% since these designs were never used by CBS/Paramount/NBC in any form the ships should be sold. |

Not that simple… Take the Ares – it uses components that would be recognizable to the layperson as being the same or very close to Star Trek designs. If I took an X-Wing, added canards and took off the wingtip guns, is it a new design? Not saying the Axanar stuff shouldn't be sold, but the lawyers and courts would invariably have to have a say. |
