I'm a very happy camper today. I finally imported an MR TOS Enterprise today from U.S Ebay. Went with a reputable dealer and upon opening the box found a 100% defect free example. Joins are perfect, Hull lines straight/concentric, no chips, decals are spot on. I have been reading this thread and drooling over the pictures since it was posted as my 40th Birthday just passed I found my reason (And justification to my better half) to get one.
Absolutely thrilled with this wonderful piece of art. $1500:00AUD landed (With Customs Tax) which saved me some $1100:00AUD over what the Collector Stores here are charging. No #409 of #1250 Limited Edition. I have lusted after a perfect replica for many many years and own all kinds of versions (Including a 3/4 complete Polar Lights job) but must say MR have outdone themselves with this replica.
Already have my eye on the Millenium Falcon
