Aaannndd.... EPIC NECRO! Okay, so those of you reading this might be wondering why the heck I'm posting in this thread. Short version: Because there's no thread for the original 2006 version of this ship. Long version: Basically, I came home from work on Friday to discover a package from BBTS sitting on my doorstep containing my long–awaited Romulan BoPs, which meant it was time to replace the Playmates ship in my display with the DST one. Now my display had collected quite a bit of space dust overtime, (how much I won't say out of embarassment,) so I spent the better portion of the afternoon cleaning half of it and preparing to incorporate both my new NX–01 that I received awhile back and my new Romulan BoP. I carefully removed things, set several ships aside to be dusted, (the B, the D, the saucer from the AGT–D that I display separate from the stardrive, my Playmates Defiant,) cleaned off the shelf, dusted the ships and was ready to start putting everything back. As I got to the point where the TWOK ship was supposed to go back on my shelf, I noticed it was having trouble staying put, which wasn't a problem since I wouldn't let go of it until it did. I positioned it into place and then let go, satisfied it was finally where it was staying. As I went to pick up another ship and return it to the display, my TWOK 1701's stand which had survived over a decade snapped sending my ship gently careening into the Defiant. Although I caught it before any real damage could be done to either ship, The Sisko clearly wasn't happy to see Sulu driving like Troi, and I wasn't happy to see that my stand had snapped in half and that I literally now have no way to display my TWOK 1701. Disappointed, I've moved my updated 1701–A into its place temporarily since I plan to redo the whole display anyway at some point, (c'mon DST, I need an Enterprise–C,) but I'm still peeved that I have no way to display my TWOK 1701 as well, which is currently sitting on top of some boxes along with the broken stand. Anyway, as a result of all this, I have a question. What is DST's current protocol for acquiring a replacement stand? Any help is appreciated, thank you all for your time.
Oh, one final note: If DST reissues this ship again, I'd really like to suggest that they use the stand from the Enterprise–B. Not only is that stand sturdier, but the Starfleet logo on it is actually accurate for TWOK unlike the stand that ships with the TWOK 1701 and the 1701–A. While this is a minor nitpick, it would actually fix two problems at once if DST used that design instead.
