Great news from Wonderfest! The 1/350th scale TOS Enterprise is a go for a 2012 release!

Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the ....... :-X
Yeah, it's cool. A 350 STTMP Klingon Battle Cruiser would be better.
I'm just say'in.

Sadly, I'll have to take a "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude with this one after what happened with the Akira and 2009 Enterprise kits.

 

[Grendels]

I'm with Quaralane on this one. Once this thing starts being listed on hobby shop sites, then I will believe it.

Still haven't built my 350 refit because I have no room to work on it or display it. No way I'm buying another massive box to sit in the closet. I really must move into a bigger place for my models. Priorities!

 

[AKE]

HA! They plan to sell it only direct. $150+ for the kit plus massive shipping costs.

 

[Grendels]

I won't buy it until I have built:

1/350 enterprise NX
1/350 refit
1/72 fine molds millenium falcon
1/72 XB-79
1/72 B-36
and
1/500 space battle ship Yamato

When these are done, I can see if I have room!!

 

[Just Mike]

It's going to cost twice what the refit did and it's a few inches shorter than it?

 

[Quaralane]

HA! They plan to sell it only direct. $150+ for the kit plus massive shipping costs.

Not entirely true.
The full, all-out, deluxe version will only be sold direct.
There will be a less "kitted out" version for general distribution

Just what I need....Another Model ;D.......

pre order your special edition

http://www.round2models.com/1701club/

you also get a t-shirt.

The special edition comes with parts to make the 1st and 2nd pilot editions. The regular version only has parts to make the production version. I won't be opening my special edition.

Wow I was just wild guessing at a $150 price tag and I nailed it perfectly. Damn I'm good!
