http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/Starstore_Catalogue_STAR_TREK_1_4_SCALE_FIGURES_FROM_SIDESHOW__4218.html

Not exactly £1.99 with a free magazine tho. . .

H.

Certainly well detailed though, and everything looks to be the correct scale

Err ... you do realise that some people pay up to £850 for this model ? 

The price it's listed at is very reasonable !  I can't recall if this is the 'special' or the ordinary edition ...

What is the difference between the editions...I'm almost afraid to ask.

Gawd ... now you're asking ...

Just checked an old catalogue (she was released in '06 I think), and it looks like that one pre-dates her (odds are it's the 05 one).

I know she was available in two outfits - one silver (400 made), and one maroon (that's the special ... 200 made).  The difference for the special was just the maroon uniform, and the cost was a bit more too I think (usually, the specials had something extra - eg both the Obi-Wan (Alec Guinness) and Darth Vader figures had droids - Obi-Wan had the learning remote that shot Luke in the Falcon when practicing with the light saber, while Darth had the "toaster" droid that Chewie roared at & sent fleeting when "captured" on the Death Star).  Personally, I prefer the silver outfit

For some reason, most (all ?) of Trek is missing from their site

Are you saying I didn't have to build one myself...

I bought the magazine today with the first model and I am astounded at the quality of the model.
What I think is a big omission is there are no Vulcan ships    I always thought the design of the Vulcan ships was way ahead of the others.

If they had only made it a monthly magazine then I feel more people would manage to fit it into their budgets.  When I was chatting to the shopkeeper she agreed there would be very little take up at £9.99 every two weeks.

If you have not bought the first magazine yet, you will be missing out a highly detailed starship 

cheers John.

Might by the first two, I love my trek but I'm absolutely in love with the "JJ-prise" I don't get all the nerd rage about the new ship and movie,

Are they going to be to scale the models surely There's a size differance to a constitution JJ-prise and the galaxy class?

Box scale ...

having looked at the website these models they are pushing with these mags are just the furuta collectibles models re-hashed, they can be bought on ebay and most of the less popular models far below £9.99 each, yes the magazine is a plus point but they usually get a bit thin, especially with ships that never featured much in the shows just trumped up schematics and scene grabs of their 5 mins of fame on the screen,,,,,

Are these spaceships N gauge? 

N gauge? Probably not!*

But to concur with Scotsoft above, the model is really nice, and for £1.99 for this issue, amazing value. I can't see myself getting every single issue, but for sure some of the ones with models I happen to like. Shame they don't seem to have the Vulcan shuttle from the first film; I always thought that was a really nifty design.

Cheers, NeMo

*Quick calculation suggests that if the real NCC-1701 D is 642.5 m long, then at 1:148 it'd be 4.3 m in length at n scale!

My Enterprise is 1:600 and is 48cm long...
I suppose I could hang it over my layout and just tell people it's far away...
