I rather suspect the mirror Enterprise could be a bit of a test case to see how much demand there is for variants. If it sells well surely that would open the door for others.8of5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16702128515118267859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-73234540557602514522015-06-08T22:19:18.469+01:002015-06-08T22:19:18.469+01:00Am I wrong or didn't they say they weren't...Am I wrong or didn't they say they weren't doing any repaints other than the refit for the 1701 and 1701-A Enterprise?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706665680478534853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-61931747456791882322015-06-06T06:27:25.325+01:002015-06-06T06:27:25.325+01:00Ben Robinson also announced that the Original seri...Ben Robinson also announced that the Original series Enterprise will have a clear deflector dish, due to a manufacturing error. So be prepared to do a little painting on the most anticipated ship of the collection. The error should be fixed when they get around to releasing the Mirror Universe Enterprise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056589461301018276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-16510591294182354302015-06-04T02:26:12.465+01:002015-06-04T02:26:12.465+01:00Yeah.

I was super-disappointed in the Excelsiors, though. If I didn't already have the Diamond Select XLCR and B, I'd probably have been a bit angry about it.<br /><br />Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756314199036780238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-2812509502349922252015-06-04T00:11:17.445+01:002015-06-04T00:11:17.445+01:00I find the Orion ship rather reminiscent of the je...I find the Orion ship rather reminiscent of the jellyfish from nuTrek, with a bit of ringship Enterprise too of course.<br /><br />And agree on the annoyingness of how tiny the 8472 ship is, the narrow ship issue is my biggest disappointment with the series, I really wish they would figure out the size of the ships based on volume, I think that would give us a much more consistent sizing of ships, rather than the maximum length rules giving us tiny thinner ships all the time.<br /><br />I'm fairly certain the NX-refit will be bigger, as it's consistently been talked about as a special issue, rather than an extra issue like the forthcoming ISS Enterprise. And there has indeed been talk of other larger scale hero ships, though the most recent tweets suggests this is more long term dreaming than anything on the immediate horizon.8of5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16702128515118267859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-12710327444599597952015-06-03T23:16:08.762+01:002015-06-03T23:16:08.762+01:00I think that's because the collection proper i...I think that's because the collection proper is for "proper" Star Trek--and the JJ-stuff is all (thankfully) a spin-off universe.<br /><br />I do think they said something about doing BIG versions of the D and TOS Enterprise in the future, possibly. They're also doing the refit NX-01 as a special issue, but who knows if that'll be "big" or just re-use the mold of the old NX.Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756314199036780238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-55092373808346919672015-06-03T15:35:12.927+01:002015-06-03T15:35:12.927+01:00I felt the exact same way about the Species 8472 s...I felt the exact same way about the Species 8472 ship!<br />And why aren't key ships, like the TOS Enterprise being released in the large scale?

Huh.<br /><br />Anyway, TOS Enterprise looks fantastic... shame it's at the same scale as the TMP Enterprise--just a little too small for my tastes.<br /><br />I got the two latest NA issues today, and speaking of small... GODDAMN. The Species 8472 ship is ridiculously tiny. It's like one of those old micromachines. SUPER disappointing. It's even tinier than the Excelsior! And it's almost 100% plastic. I really hope it's not indicative of future models. I get many more ships this small and I'm gonna cancel my subscription super fast.Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756314199036780238noreply@blogger.com
