Out later this month in the UK (and coming mid July in the US, with the rest of the world to follow) is issue twenty-one of The Official Starships Collection, which I imagine will be one of more highly anticipated models in the series, the USS Enterprise-E. The Collection's Facebook page has posted the best quality photo yet of the model, and also the magazine cover. Looking pretty good:
If you missed them before, here are the other previously released images of the model:
The Collection has also recently launched a competition on its Facebook page, to win a starship with a personalised name. As long as you live in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, or Australia, you've got until early June to enter, here. There will be four winners in each territory.
The rules don't appear to specify which class of ship you'll be able to name, but a similar competition previously run in conjunction with Star Trek Online had the option of several different classes.
For a listing of all the ships in the Starships Collection, including links to all my previous previews and reviews, see my index page.
Damn, the E looks sexy.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm getting seriously tired of their promo photos only ever showing the ventral hull.
Especially since the top-down views have been used to "hide" major flaws with prior models, like the Akira and Excelsior.
My standart enterprise E came with original box and magazine, looks legit but came without lettering (no uss enterprise,,no ncc)
ReplyDeletebut have lettering in the nacelles and back,just not in front of the ship.
