I just received my re-issue from Amazon(I think the retailer is called Toy Zany or something like that, but Amazon handled everything in the process). The model itself looks great but still has some of the same issues as before, some others are better. The registry is still misaligned, the nacelles are bend inwards(though not as bad as some others have it) and now it is missing the "United Federation Of Planets Starship USS. Enterprise" lettering at either side of the saucer section(where the docking port is located)

But apart from that is looks really crisp, nothing bad to say about the paint job, everything except the aforementioned seems to be spot on. The sounds are crystal clear and VERY loud, much noisier than on the previous ships like the Klingon BoP or Excelsior. There are also no factory mishaps, like the overuse of glue or scratches, or parts that don't fit together. Only thing that has scratches is the deflector, but that doesn't really bother me personally.

Light bleed is still an issue at the common spots(warp nacelles, impulse deck, bridge) but there seems also some super bright LED inside the saucer which illuminates the better top half of it when you activate the sounds in any other light than bright daylight(inside a room).

I hope to I'll be able to snap some pictures of her, maybe a vid for the weekend, pics tend to speak more than a thousand words :D

Are the sound effects at the proper pitch now? All the sound/voice clips on my E-A are waaay too low-sounding. Also, do the lights stay on until you push the bridge in again or does it turn off after 5 seconds like the last release? Disappointing that the registry is still off, that seems like such an easy fix.
