Diamond Bird of Prey and Enterprise B

jedijeff · February 09, 2013, 01:21:55 PM

I was at the mall today and picked up these two ships. I am pretty happy with them, both have lots of lights and sounds. I was only going to get the Bird of Prey, but once I was holding the Enterprise B, had to get that one as well. Have to work a bit on the Bird of Prey as one of the wings is stuck, but besides that, looks great.

Those look terrific Jeff! The lighting really makes them look awesome!

Very cool Jeff! I wanted to get these and was going to pre-order but I am tight on space to display these and already have all the Enterprise AA ships. I wish instead of the B they had done the Excelsior. I dig the Bird of Prey although it's not my favorite Klingon ship, this one is cool.

Just picked up the BOP on Amazon. :)

That is cool you got the BOP, I think you are going to like it. I think they did a great job with detailing it, but I agree, there would have been other Klingon ships I would have wanted first, but none the less, happy with this. I was not originally planning on getting the B, but after seeing it in the store and all the lights when lit up, I just could not hold myself back. Also they will be coming out with a re release of the E, and Also a 3rd release of the Enterprise from TWOK which I don't have, so I figured I might as well . After a dry spell with ships, DST/AA is really going all out with a bunch of ships, as they also re released NCC 1701 D and the All Good Things version.

This thing is great! Love all the lights and sounds. It's a really nice size and very well detailed, weathered, and painted. :klingon

WOW! That is a nice size. Looks very sweet. Think I might have to grab one of those too! But what's with the shirt?? ;)

It's cold here! Only 70 today. :) Yeah, this is a great display ship.

Space for whales aboard that ship? :)

Personally, these ships will always be the small scale as portrayed in ST III and IV. In TNG, DS9, the Bird of Prey models scale was all over the map, from tiny to HUGE! I can recall that one image in ST III when the BOP is parked in front of the Enterprise and it looks too big relative to what the BOUNTY looked like on the ground in ST IV. I know, huge per peeve of mine. :)

Those look amazing guys.. been thinking of getting into ships and such.

I think the reissue Enterprise E is coming out soon, if not already out. Cool you got your BOP Bryan.

I went to the Mall today and picked up the Enterprise E, which was a reissue from a few years back. Filling in holes in my Star Ship Collection up next is the reissue of the Refit which should hopefully becoming soon.

This one I do have from the first release. :) Nice Jeff!

A nice model! :) It's a shame we didn't get to see more of the ship on screen. :(

Looks great Jeff! Time to start getting some of these beauties for my collection too.
