Slightly updated pic of the Enterprise toy I found on another forum. Looks nice, better than I thought at any rate.

Not unless you have Quicktime Pro.

Is it going to be a model kit or just a toy?

If its a model, that is relatively small enough, then it will have a place on my shelf. Right next to the small ENT-D shaped bubble-bath bottle I found a little while ago, that I was given as a kid.

Being a Trek fan wasn't a very well hid secret for me in my family, lol.

That is the toy made by Playmates. It is more likely that a resin kit will be made before a regular styrene plastic kit. MY first impression of the toy is that it won't be big.....maybe around 14 inches long (rough estimate of past-Trek toy ships).

That's what she said!

But seriously? I'd probably buy it, if I saw it in a store around here. Ever since I broke my Voyager kit I've needed something overly nerdy to sit on my monitor to knock over every time I get up. :lol: What can I say? The colours are purdy.

EW!! Blue buzzards!! YUK!!

I like them. :arms:

Come to think of it... even though the movie hasn't been released yet, I'm kinda getting used to that ship now... girr.

I think we have Wiley to blame for that.

And yes, the ship is supposed to be 14 inches long...which makes it shorter than my TWOK 1701 and my 1701-E. But still just as awesome. I preordered mine on Entertainment Earth and just now received a notification that the price went down too!

I don't think this has been posted.

Could be wrong.

Pictures of the toys for the movie.

At least the Transporter room still looks like the Transporter room. Mostly.

Well now, a little digging and I found some images of the Hot Wheels Star Trek line-up, minus one. The line up includes the 1701-A(or 1701 refit), a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, the Reliant, the Enterprise-D, the STXI Enterprise(which hadn't been confirmed til now), and Nero's squid/Vorlon-esque Romulan ship Narada(wasn't known until now, and also not pictured). The only oddity is that the bussards on the JJ-Prise are red, but this is likely because the toy is a prototype. According to Entertainment Earth, this will not be available until May.

Well it would be a little weird to release XI merchandise months before it comes out.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 28, 2009, 08:07:55 PM »

Well, Entertainment Earth lists the earliest shipping date for the rest of the merchandise as March. Of course, Playmates told TrekMovie that the release date is April 16th or so.

And I don't care so much about the JJPrise as I'm already getting the electronic one. I want that BOP. 8)

Billz · « **Reply #11 on:** February 28, 2009, 09:12:57 PM »

I want the ENT-D.

Roughly, in inches, how big is 1:50 scale? I never undertood the way scaling works for diecast models. My '1977 Starsky And Hutch Gran Torino' and 'Dukes Of Hazzard Dodge Charger' car models are 1:18 scale so I hope 1:50 scale doesnt mean those Trek models would be huge.

If anyone knows of a life-size TNG transporter pad replica though, let me know.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2009, 09:21:38 PM »

I don't know how big they are, but they can't be 1:50 scale because they're not even scaled to each other. I mean, really, the Reliant wasn't that big.

I'd guess these are at most 6 inches long. Maybe as big as the Johnny Lightning ships. But metal!

Look at this stuff! 5 pages worth!

Look at that JJPrise! Shows a great angle for Wiley to look at!

Not much of an image, but I'll add those engineering registry spotlights.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 22, 2009, 06:43:12 PM »

Definitely shows the blue glow in the bussard collectors. Exactly how I thought it would be, just kind of subdued. Coolness, I want that poster.

Dalek · « **Reply #16 on:** March 23, 2009, 12:38:26 PM »

I;ve noticed that the bussards look like a glass container.

But look at the toys! Theres really cool stuff on page 4 i.e. tricorder, communicator, phaser, JJPrise...or have I said too much?

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2009, 01:28:48 PM »

Tricorder, couldn't care less for, communicator, maybe, phaser, maybe. I've already pre-ordered the 1701, but I doubt I'll get the Narada. Anything beyond the 1701, honestly I'd have to see it.

Dalek · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2009, 01:35:04 PM »

I don't know why, but I want the tricorder and the phaser. The communicator looks like a Motorola with a big blue blob in the middle.

I mostly agree with this. I do however hate the phasers. They look like those cheap plastic guns that arn't based on any sci-fi in particular that you used to get when you were 7 or something close to that age.

I want a red shirt though. :lol:
