God, I'm just in awe. The lights especially sell it so well as being real -- just an incredible job with the lighting. Of course the actual models themselves are fantastic as well, but the lights are just that final thing that brings it to life. Usually, I'll look at a model and be disappointed at how fake it looks compared to when it's onscreen -- no such issues here at all. Incredible.

Incredible work. I’ve collected as many renditions of the Enterprise as I could get my hands on over the decades. Most the larger scale I own are from Playmates Toys. I do have one Enterprise purchased about 1978-79 that the various parts can be placed here or there to build different ships. I never found a larger scale Enterprise-C. Just what Micro Machines released in the 1990s. I’d love to add this Enterprise-G to my collection if it becomes available. But Enterprise (mine is a kit from the 1960s), Enterprise-refit (a kit from the 1980s), Enterprise-A, Enterprise-B (and Excelsior), Enterprise-C (micro machines), Enterprise-D, Enterprise-E, Voyager. And Enterprise from the new time line.
