Since he is buying them from AFX i think the chances of openers arent very good. I could be wrong though.

Hello all...
you are indeed, correct...I am sure we will have some banged up boxes I will need to sell (always at a discount!)...would be a rare day if they all arrived MIB.

Can't wait to see the review! Anyone else notice there were painted windows on the neck of the AGT Enterprise? Hope this means the regualr D will also have painted windows, as the one we saw from the auction winner did not have painted windows on the neck.

I hope those of us who pre-ordered the regular "D" through DST directly won't have to wait too much longer!

I just measured the saucer section, and from side to side the diameter measures just shy of 12 1/2 inches long. It is right around 10 inches front to back. The saucer seems to be about twice as big as the Big E's saucer. I really wish that the same attention and polish had been paid to the Enterprise-E. Now I am not certain if they are in scale to each other or not. I'll have to consult the ship charts on Ex Astris Scientia and see how big they're supposed to be to each other.
One other great thing about the new E-D is that Everything that should light up, does light up sans running lights and windows. The nacelles light up solidly and look great, as does the impulse drive, and both saucer engines. I think the saucer engines only light when the "All light on" feature is turned on. The only drawback I can see, is that its too bad they couldn't find a way to made the saucer lights stay lit when the saucer is detached. However, this is a very minor issue, and even so I have to admire the clever way they made the connections on each side. The nav deflector looks to be lit by two small LEDs that are hidden behind the center section of the dish. She really looks quite striking when all her lights are on, especially since she's a mean looking dreadnought version of the Enterprise.
By the way, they seem to have finally nailed the stand. It is an updated version of the Classic Enterprise style stand, with a pivoting anchor point that attaches the ship to the stand itself. The ingenious part is that the stand is actually two stands so you can display both the saucer and secondary hull next to each other. The smaller stand fits perfectly in the middle of the larger stand to save space. Of course, time will tell if the pivoting anchor will stay strong. I am a little leary of displaying it full time on the stand just because of the sheer weight of the ship, but it still feels pretty good when its on there.
I was also surprised that AA/DST included plugs for the stand points, and screw hole. As far as I can tell this is the first time they have included this on any of their ships, and to me, it is a welcomed substitution for a "play cover". The Enterprise also features two stand points for displaying it in saucer separated mode or standard. Very impressive ship over all. I'll try to get some pics posted a little later, Old School OAD style!

If so, then hopefully they continue to do this.
