Enterprise - D collectible

That is a nice looking ship and stand, but I think like Bryan said, probably a repaint of the current NCC 1701 D from Diamond Select. Sounds like from the description the same ship.
My NCC 1701 D took a tumble last week from it's stand. I wish Diamond would make the Stands better as NCC 1701 D is a real heavy ship. I will have to build a new Stand, since the one that came with the ship broke. Fortunately the ship was not broken, but I can hear something rattling inside, so not sure if the electronic are broken on it. Will have to investigate a bit more

Hey Jeff, the ball joint of one my my DS stands broke and I contacted them and they sent me a replacement stand for free!

Thanks Bryan, I will send them an email and see if they might be able to send me something. It was just the piece that goes into the base of the ship, and connects to the stand. I will probably try and build my own stand as well, since I am nervous now of the same thing happening again. I might try and build something similar to the stand this custom one has, but obviously not as nice :) .

Cool video!

My Friend Solved my Issue of the Broken Stand for my Enterprise D. It turned out a Dollar Store Paper Towel Holder and some rubber tubing was all that was needed. The magnets on the neck hold really well to the stand, and it is very solid and sturdy. A small bend and I have a stand. He has been experimenting with the other ships, and with different bends, he can get them sitting with the hull on the stand very well, and looks great displayed. This is also a great stand for Phasers as well. I am going back to the Dollar Store tomorrow to get more, so I can use them on the rest on my Enterprises.

Nice fix!

When a show like "Star Trek" or many series are created a 'bible' of sorts is setup.  It list many things and facts for writers to use and pull from.  On the original series a couple of the items were a bowling alley and large botanical gardens.  Just because it isn't shown on screen doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  The Enterprise is a big ship.

That goes for bathrooms too!  Sorry - couldn't help myself :)

Just got this today. I missed out on the dst version and I don't regret it. This is a very nice model. Fits in well with the bandai refit 1701 nicely. The only complaint I have is that the dark windows aren't painted black. From what I have seen online it is smaller that the dst release. It is a bit pricey, but I think it was worth it especially considering what the dst version is going for on the secondary market.
