Very disappointing....June 29, 2010 MG This item was ordered for a 14 year old die-hard Star Trek fan. Both the initially shipped item and its replacement item were defective. The electronics appear to be very fragile or very poorly constructed. The first one had no sound and no light, even after changing out the batteries and the replacement had distorted and unintelligible sound. We have now returned two and are done with the product. Earlier versions of the Enterprise (A?) worked far better and in fact, the young ST fan has had one bought second hand for more than three years and it's still operating.
Save your money and your child's disappointment... :(
Pretty Nifty Ship...June 28, 2010 7-11 Jedi Overall, I was very pleased with this purchase. The first one I received was defective, and the lights and sounds did not function even after changing out all the batteries. Also, the detailing was a bit smeared on that item. I returned it, and Amazon immediately placed a replacement order with 2 day shipping, which pleased me. The second ship had much better paint graphics, and the light and sound functioned correctly (after replacing dead batteries, which I expected.) It is definitely a quality replica of the Enterprise D, and the saucer separation is a neat trick. I haven't experienced any problems with the stand that other's have reported, but I haven't had it very long.
It is missing the neck window decals, does anyone know if Diamond Select is still issuing replacement decals for this?
I am overall very pleased with this ship, and am tempted to order a few of the other versions. It seemed that my first one was simply a fluke.
Next Generation Enterprise DApril 14, 2010 Brian Ross(Long Island) This latest Diamond Select Star Trek ship is awesome in its size & detail. The saucer section detaching is a nice touch, and the lights & sounds are great. One bad thing - the saucer section is powered by those ridiculously expensive little electronics batteries. TOS phaser's powered by them too & when they die, it's like 14-17 bucks to replace them. So annoying! Would it kill them to power it with some cheap AA or AAA's. Other than that, I love it. Looks great in the collection. B-
Buggy electronics but nice, big replicaApril 5, 2010 Vineet Patel(Bowling Green, KY USA) I settled with this ship as my first Star Trek Enterprise replica after trying hard to find a reasonably priced NX-01. It's a nice looking and good sized replica. The only problem I've had is the buggy electronics. I didn't care much for Captain Picard's dialogues but I did care for the lights. Unfortunately, there's no way to light the ship without dialogue, and the worst part is the electronics freeze up consistently. The reset button does absolutely nothing, so the only way to turn the lights off is to remove the battery cover (with a screw driver) and batteries. But even this doesn't really solve the problem, since the electronics just freeze up again once you put the batteries back in.
Great toyMarch 30, 2010 Adam Valencia Even though I gave this a some what poor rating it was gerat, and it did give me what I wanted except that one of the buttons did not work, so I had to send it back for a refund. But it did show some of the high lights and it did prove what it was suppose to do except for that one part.
