Worst NCC-1701 I've seenMay 16, 2010 T. L. Rasmussen(Minnesota, United States) Poor quality, poor graphics scheme. And if you want to actually use the base? You're SOL - it doesn't fit.
Worst Ship Paint job ever! ( AND the hull is too thin...)February 14, 2010 T. Harker 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The paint job is pisspoor.
NO LIGHT shines through the deflector dish. (Painted black?!)
TOO MUCH LIGHT shines through the saucer section of the hull. (Looks...odd)
Engines keep falling off on one side for no reason. (I had to superglue it.)
The rest of the paintjob looked good but the saucer didn't have as much paint than the primary hull and engines of the ship, which is...noticeable.
All in all I think DiamondSelect needs a quality control team bad because the quality of there ships are all over the place.
And ordering from online adds new worries to a purchase like this.
For something like this it is better to find a local Hastings store or another place that sells one out of a brick and mortar location. You must examine these ships closely to decide which one looks defect free.
Diamond Select (Art Asylum) toys better get there quality and consistency looked at ASAP no doubt.
Other than that it's a great 'toy'.

Good Enterprise but not the best NCC-1701.January 27, 2010 Joy L. Jessup(Winston Salem N.C. USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
To put it lightly I agree with the other reviews of this item. It is a nice looking Enterprise but the Art Asylum NCC-1701 A is a better ship to buy. The white color on this one is nice but the plastic is really thin. Compared to the NCC-1701 A this ship is lighter in weight so Diamond must have changed something at the manufacturing facility besides the color. My huge complaint with this ship is the deflector dish. The dish is black when it should be a light blue with the lights off. The NCC-1701 A has this feature perfect with the light off but cost alot more if you can find one. I would give the NCC 1701 A a higher rating than this Wrath of Khan version. Also with this version the impulse engine lights do not light up or if they do you canot tell due to all the light bleeding through the plastic. I own almost all the Art Asylum Enterprises and this one is my least favorite of all them.
25th Anniversary TWOK Enterprise by AA/DSTDecember 23, 2009 Mutara Nebula(CA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Ordered the Enterprise refit from GoHastings and it came in 1 week w/no shipping issues or damage.
Pros:
1. As others have mentioned, the detail is extraordinary for this toy/model. It really is a scaled down version
of the Enterprise Refit.
2. Lights and sounds are pretty cool and it is a nice alternative to those who do not have the time or skill to build
a full blown model with lights.
Cons:
1. Paint job is a bit sloppy in some areas especially the saucer section and torpedo bay.
2. Deflector dish is painted black which blocks the lighting.
(I actually removed the paint and the effect is much better. I may shade it with blue in the future.)
3. Would have been nice to have a mode where the lights just stay on instead of just functioning with the movie phrases.
4. There are some minor spaces between parts especially around aft area and botttom fuselage near battery.
Overall, the ship is pretty cool and the cons mentioned are fairly minor. It is worth the $$ at $39. It would really be cool
if the ship can be disassembled to add navigation lights and blinkers.
