Man that thing looks great, a lot more dialog than I expected.

Really like that they used the fin as the activator, I wasn't quite sure what they would do since it doesn't really have a defined bridge.

Looking forward to more Reliant info in the coming weeks.

Wow looks better than I could have anticipated!  I love the fact that they used the fin as the button.  Cant wait to hear more about the Reliant!

Stunning job, has to be said. If this is the new quality bar moving forward, then I'm very excited.

[Razorgeist]

Did anyone notice that the front plasma cannon has its own seperate light.  This makes slobber over what they could do with a Defiant.

[Jay K]

Yes, that was really cool to see, and is something that would be great to see on a Defiant. Actually, it'd be nice to see this on the Reliant as well (the roll bar launchers).

[Destructor!!!]

Man, that's really cool. They did a great job with the lighting and the sounds.

I only wish they had included this line - "He's a sorcerer that one!" - I love it for its theatricality. Mark Lenard did an amazing job in that role.

I'll buy this at some point. I just don't have the room for a ship I'm so so on. That being said they knocked it out of the park.

[Razorgeist]

So has anyone managed to procure one of these yet.

[Alteran195]

Not out yet, Khan is coming out on the 21st with the RBoP sometime after that.

[Razorgeist]

I was hoping to get it for Christmas...oh well.

Saw it today at Midtown Comics here in New York when I went to get ST BG 4,and latest ST Mag,and last issue of LiS,lol. I have to say,it's really great. I know I didn't want this at first,but I'm seriously reconsidering!

 

J-R!

[Razorgeist]

Well just ordered mine today.

[Alteran195]

Went to The Source Comics & Games today hoping they'd have the BoP, they did not. They did have a couple Khan and a Worf Select that was caked in dust though.... I also saw the Femme Fatales Borg Queen, it doesn't look better in person. 

 

I did find a bird of prey today, just not the one I was looking for. 

 

Was very worried I had lost it, but found it in a box at my parents house. It will come in handy when I do a review of the DST one. 

 

Side note, I also found my old Stargate watch:

Holy crap my BOP arrived today!  It is awesome!

Where'd you order it from?

Edit:
Looks like Entertainment Earth has it in stock with free shipping so it's about the same as BBTS who doesn't have it yet.

Ordered it from EE.

I ordered it on thursday evening and it arrived today.

 

The lights and sounds are awesome.  DST just does a better job each time.  The always on bridge sounds and lights are a great addition.  The plastic feels great and the ship feels nice a sturdy.  The lighted windows are truly wonderful.  My only compliant and it is a very reaching nitpick is that the back fin which is the actuator button wobbles a little but thats it.  Definetly DST's best work it really makes me look forward to the Reliant.

[Jay K]

Great to hear! Any pictures (preferably next to other DST ships for sense of scale)?

[Alteran195]

I can't wait to get mine and see how it stacks up next to Playmates.

Obviously DST's is going to be better, I just want to see by how much.
