The U.S.S. Enterprise Commemorative Replica is modeled directly from the digital effects files used in Star Trek (2009). Hand cast in solid metal, the replica incorporates chrome, textured steel and pewter finishes to create a collectible of unsurpassed detail and elegance. From the delta command badge base to the tip of each nacelle, not a drop of plastic was used in the construction of this substantial piece. Each ship is crafted by the artisans of Quantum Mechanix Inc. (QMx), a boutique collectibles maker. The U.S.S. Enterprise Commemorative Replica was created exclusively for Amazon.com to celebrate the maiden voyage of Starfleet's newest flagship, and is available in a limited edition of only 5,000 ships. Each replica comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by QMx and Industrial Light & Magic's Roger Guyett, Visual Effects Supervisor.

 Awesome Movie, Awesome Replica |

The movie is 5 stars. It took me over 4 hours to watch all the special features. JJ knows how to make special features. The picture quality on the Bluray is Jaw dropping clear. I think it looks even better then in the theater.
Now for the statue, very, very cool. Solid metal. The ship is brushed finished, the stand is all shiny chrome except for the inside of the badge symbol is more a brushed finish. It's pretty awesome. My only thing, I expected it to be taller, from the pics, it just seemed taller. Not a deal breaker, just shorter then what I had in my mind looking at the pic for 3 months.
Oh and the certificate of Authenticity, would have been nice if they were numbered 1 of 5000, they are not. Just says it is part of an exclusive limited edition run of 5,000. |

| STAR TREK was amazing in IMAX, and is jaw dropping on Blu Ray. The sound and picture are matched by none so far this year. Dolby True HD is one of my favorite sound formats, and it's perfect for STAR TREK. This is one of the best Blu Ray releases I have ever owned. I also love the digital copy for itunes. The movie kicks ass no matter what size screen you watch it on. Amazon has done it again with their AMAZON EXCLUSIVE series. The replica of the Starship Enterprise is just plain fantastic. I love the fact that it is a scaled replica, and also that it is metal as opposed to plastic. The detail is awesome. It stands on its own, and does not easily topple over. The sturdy insignia base is one of the best attributes of the replica. The limited edition size also adds to the appeal. To date this is the best and most fan conscious replica set I have seen or owned. Top notch Amazon. I hope to see Amazon continue to raise the bar in the AMAZON EXCLUSIVE series. Movie of the year... Collectible of the year. |
Replica is terrific

| I'm a reasonably serious collector of STAR TREK replicas (I have a Master Replica's 33-inch ENTERPRISE, for instance). I'm very impressed by the all-metal ENTERPRISE included with this set. The ship itself has a brushed-metal finish, and the stand (which is NOT removable) has a shiny finish; it makes for an attractive pairing. The model is not hyper-detailed, which is a plus, I think, at this size: no windows on the hull, for instance. This is smaller than the Franklin Mint pewter starships of years gone by, but is a very impressive piece. I was one of those who hated the new ENTERPRISE design when I first saw stills of if, but it's growing on me, and this clean reproduction (not too much detailing but all the detailing that is there is correct) does a very nice job of showing off the design. I'm glad I bought it. (Oh, and it goes without saying, but the movie itself rocks, and the Blu-ray transfer is flawless.) -- Robert J.

I'm not going to review the movie - you've all seen it, and although I liked it, I sure hope Paramount puts enough money into the next budget that they don't have to shoot parts of it in the Budwiser brewery and the LA Department of Water and Power - who would ever have though the original "Star Trek" engine room would look better than a multigazillion dollar movie.
No, my review is simply of the replica Enterprise. It's beautiful. People are carping about the box and the certificate, etc, but trust me. If you had it in your hands, you'd love it and if you're a true Trekker, will kick yourself if you don't get it then see it later. It's a heavy, solid sculpture with a chrome base that's wonderful. Of course I would have liked to have paid less, but I'm glad I got it.
Now if they could just do an original Klingon Warbird like this... |
Amazon exclusive Enterprise replica is a wonderful purchase!

This unboxing video says it all: [...]
Immediately on hearing about Amazon's exclusive version fo the Star Trek bluray release, I clicked over and ensured my pre-order. Then it was just waiting in antici--
--pation! It finally arrived, and it was worth the wait. The model is high quality and has a wonderful weight to it. I don't typically splurge on higher-cost collectibles such as this, but with its limited run, and great quality, I'm glad I did. Oh and the Bluray is also a great piece of work. The special features were very informative and entertaining, especially as they touched on the issues with 're-envisioning' the Star Trek universe, from many creative perspectives.
This was a fun little video to render! Thank you JJ for inventing the Abrams flare ;) |
