I do not. I mean, you can look up the nearest UK stores that order from Diamond UK on http://www.comicshoplocator.com, but you'd have to call and ask if they ordered that ship, and if they have any in stock.

Just did a search on that site, found two stores within the area I'm going to be in today, and the website of one of them uses the Star Trek movie font, and is called Star Trader.
Thanks for that, Zach. Got a feeling I might've just hit the jackpot.

Good old Transport Models in Preston! Wonderful shop, tons of Trek ships on the ceiling (K't'inga, BoP, and Galor looked like they were made by a pro - wow). But yeah, got a B, and honestly, there's nothing wrong with it. Considering it was the only one they had, and the nearest one after that I could find was in Blackpool, another 15 miles down the road, I've honestly got a beauty here.
No gaps in the impulse engines. Pennants say Enterprise instead of Excelsior. Again, wouldn't have minded if they did, but this makes it more of a bonus. And I have to say, very little dirt-wash. The plastic seems way greyer than I originally thought (was expecting colgate white), but that's fine. Aye, a few splodges of dirt-wash are in places, but for me, it's light enough for me to miss it, and I'm okay with it really. I'd much rather have a ship that's well put together - no gaps! - than a ship that's neatly painted (both would be nice, but I prefer 'look' over paint neatness).
One minor nitpick, the button is a bit unresponsive. Got a feeling it's been well 'used' in the shop, but again, no biggie. Makes it a bit tricky getting the lights to stay on, but this is a minor complaint.
In summary, it's stunning, I love it, and whilst it wouldn't stop me buying, and absolutely loving a ship (1701 refit, Enterprise E 2003 and Nemesis), it's ABSOLUTELY lovely to have NO light bleed whatsoever. This makes three now - D, BoP, and B - that haven't suffered with this, and I'd just like to say they look stunning for it. Absolutely chuffed right now.
Final thing, that battery compartment is an ingenious little way of doing it.

I am very happy with my B. She came out great and I was surprised to get one with the correct pennants. I think "it's a damn fine ship if you ask me". LOL.

Glad I could help out a Liverpudlian. Also, glad to have a reason to use the word "Liverpudlian."

I saw, you said you had a refit stand that broke, but you reinforced it and it's doing fine.
When you say refit, you mean the 2003 refit? Or the 2007? Or the 2013?

Yeah,THAT one's fine,when I superglued it,but I was more annoyed with the Ent D stand that broke as that one ISN'T fixable. Neither is my DeLorean,and I've tried several things on that one,lol! My MS zombie Spidey with his broken hand I don't care about as it just adds to the figure,lol! Glad you saw my reply. And I don't even remember which refit it is. DEFO not the last one,most likely 2003.
J-R!

Did anyone have the Battle Damaged version yet? I was looking around and saw somewhere that said they had it in stock.

Hey Bad Bunny,
I work for a collectables store and our (disagreeable) distributor's website keeps saying that it's coming March 2014. Its March 26th...so I dunno dude. Its supposed to be out and there are a handful for sale on ebay at the moment.
I'm hanging out for that battle damaged beauty!

7 left on Amazon at 57.81 bucks. Was considering,for a split second,of ordering one there,but I can wait. Maybe even just pick one up at Comic Con,whatever.

Dang it, now I'm going to have to go back to the comic shop (Emerald City Comics in Clearwater, FL) and get an Enterprise-B!
It looks great.

Question:
Does the re-release of the B ( the one with the correct pennants on the side.) still have a wash like the first release? or is it clean like the Excelsior ?
Thanks !

Does the re-release of the B ( the one with the correct pennants on the side.) still have a wash like the first release? or is it clean like the Excelsior ?
Thanks !

Yep, it's a right dirty sod!
Just fancied saying that - mine only has a bit of wash, and is really quite clean (still has it though).
