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

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.

[MikeDunn]

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?

[MikeDunn]

Box scale ...

[Fratton]

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? 

[NeMo]

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...
