So I've been...acquiring.. Triple A's from work to re-power my Enterprise line, and I've gotta say the HD Enterprise has the most impressive lights on feature out of all of DST's ships. The blinking navigation lights, nice bright domes, and the changing color of the bussard collectors really is so much cooler than the static colors of the other ships. 

 

Props to DST on this one, and I've renewed my appreciation of lights on in general. I would instantly re-buy ANY of DST's ships that don't have that feature if it was added, also am in the group now where the A's 10 seconds just isn't enough. 

 

Zach, do you know if the NX-01 re-release will have lights on yet?

My HD Enterprise 1701 came in yesterday and I just wanted to drop a note thanking DST for doing a great job! The ship is solid, no flaws I can see, it looks great and scales really well with the rest of the ships DST has put out. (I know that technically the TOS Enterprise should be less than half the size of the Enterprise-D, but I actually prefer the way the DST versions look together.) I especially like how the nacelle lights shift from red to orange to yellow and back again. I also thought the sound clips were all very well chosen and the audio quality on all of them was perfect. Oh, and thanks for eliminating the "rust ring" this time around. It might be authentic to the studio model but it just looks too jarring on a replica of this size and that's the reason why I didn't go after the previous HD version that was released. And finally, kudos for the lights-on feature--the ship looks absolutely gorgeous with the nacelles lit up and the running lights blinking!

 

I have to say the TOS Enterprise is a bit of an odd (but lovely) bird sitting on the shelf next to all the movie ships and the TNG ships--the TOS Enterprise is a classic and I love it, but it doesn't really seem like it's part of the same ship lineage as the other Enterprises, probably because of the changes to the nacelles once the Constitution class was refit for the first movie. It looks something like a classic '57 Chevy next to a bunch of 2015 sports cars. Who's to say which is better? But here's hoping DST gives us a D7 so the classic Enterprise can have a proper TOS-era mate on my shelf!

You're welcome!

Getting my TOS Romulan Bird of Prey tomorrow, and it has a lot in common with the new Enterprise.

In my Target it was along with backwall with all the pops and other collectibles. 

 

They also had the DST Delorean, and Lost in Space robot.
