Tomorrow morning, I'm planning on buying the 2-disk special edition DVD with the plastic USS Enterprise DVD holder. Target is only a few miles away and is on my route to school.

Its too bad you aren't getting the Blu-Ray version. I have a feeling that you would have found the Starfleet Vessel Simulator to be very good *HINT*, lol.

Would've liked some more vessel simulations for the Jellyfish or the other Starfleet vessels that went to Vulcan when Nero was there though on the Blu-Ray   :'(.

Since I do not have a Blu-Ray player, someone on HobbyTalk posted a download with LOTS of screencaps from the StarFleet Vessel Simulator. See download link:

When I went to Target this morning, they had only 2 of these in stock (or only 2 where I found them). It is the 2-disk Special Edition DVD and instead of a DVD box, it is just the ship with a stand, basically a desktop model that you construct yourself. The 2 disks fit nicely inside the saucer, one on top, one on the bottom.

The plastic ship that I have in front of me is well worth the money and it is fairly accurate in details, possible more accurate than the Playmates toy. It is the same size as the Polar Lights 1:1000 TOS Enterprise kit. Since the JJprise is considerably bigger, it would now make the ship 1:2500.

Wiley, I have a feeling that even the small-scale Hot Wheels JJ-Prise is going to be more accurate than the Playmates one.

I wish I could get the model with the DVDs, but I already have the Blu-Ray coming.  Sure wish Best Buy had shipped faster though...

well, I finally got to pick mine up.  i had to gripe at my own parents to get my borrowed money back!

Nebula: I suggest you get the Blu-Ray.  the DVD versions are now bare naked; nothing but the movie itself, now.

You should consider getting the one with the metal Enterprise model if you can.

The artwork on the metal case you described earlier is just one of the movie posters without writing over it.

Otherwise, if you can't get the version with the model, get the standard 3 disc Blu-Ray. Comes in a slip cover with Kirk and Spock in the title artwork on either side.

The metal Enterprise model looks nice and all, but I'll wait for QMx's collector's edition of the ship.

I got my blu ray copy through the post last week and have watched three times straight through.

The original reason I decided to get it was to have a complete collection however the film has really grown on me.

I decided to officially boycott this movie. It was fun to see... once. My collection doesn't need it. HOWEVER, the day Star Trek came out on DVD/BR, a strange charge for $20 from Best Buy appeared on my online bank statement. My wife now claims to have a Christmas present for me, even though we decided to spend it all on our son this year. EVIL WOMAN!

So you're "officially" boycotting it?  Are you an official of some sort? :P  Seriously though, she's evil because she's trying to do something thoughtful?  Really?
