The day someone somewhere releases a proper JJ Abrams Enterprise made fully Die-Cast is the day I'll put down money for it but these just look well crap.
I remember Corgi having a license? It's a shame they didn't stick at it as those were really beautiful models, especially the Klingon Bird of Prey and the TOS Enterprise.

BTW, is it confirmed that it's a "Treasure Hunt" item? I saw dozens of the last HW Imagination Batmobiles everywhere but never found a Curiosity.
I don't think they've hit N. America yet. All the auctions I've seen were from Malaysia (where they're made). Probably 4-6 weeks until they hit here. The boat is slow.
Yeah, the paint is lacklustre but as JMW said, for a buck it's not too bad at all. I'm in for a buck but I wouldn't pay $18+S/H to get it sooner from a Malaysian seller.
I think that the saucer is zamac metal but the rest is plastic. Shame that the white paint is mis-matched between the metal and plastic parts, and that they didn't paint the bussard collectors.
There is a good diecast version: the QMX from the Amazon blu ray. Mind you, no paint on it at all... and costs a lot more than a buck!

Painted nacelles. I don't need every little detail, just paint on the nacelles. It's fine for what it is, but nothing I'd be too interested in. Cool that it's in the assortment though. Not just Star Trek fans will go for it. Hot Wheels fans will too.

Someone was asking about the HW prototypes earlier in the thread: here's another pic of them alongside some JL protos for relative scale. This pic was originally posted by my pal NightCastle, who owns all of 'em. Cheers to him.
Hope we see them in the 1/64 line... but I wouldn't hold my breath on that.

I do think they will be in the green-striped "Imagination" series, but that series cannot possibly all be TH because I've seen bajillions of some of the green ones hanging around (mostly the generic made-up cars, but also plenty of the Batman Live batmobile).
I have started to see some of the other items that I thought were maybe "announced" around the same general time as this, but I could be mistaken there... Picked up a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, and yesterday I saw the Angry Birds cars. Several of the pig, only one of the red bird...wonder if either of those is a TH? You wouldn't think so for something so popular right now.

I will still keep searching though.
Anyone know when the big Hot Wheels ships will be back out? Or if they will be in retail stores at all?

Im also very curious about this, or if anyone has been able to find a preorder place with the individual ships.
Ill be damned if I miss out on the Kelvin.
The Excelsior also tempts me, but not nearly as much since DST is releasing it soon (hopefully).

As promised, I have some pics to share with you of the hot wheels imagination line U.S.S. Enterprise. I was lucky enough to find one at my local Target this morning. The ship is very cool. The saucer is die cast metal as is the neck and secondary hull. The nacelles and struts are a soft plastic so it ought not break too easily.
The Enterprise measures about 2 1/2 inches long and is a real cutie.
Happy hunting!
Hope you all dig the pics!
