He gave it to me a few weeks before his death in 1995 and told me to keep quiet. Should fetch a a half a mill. The deflector shield is misssing of course, but that shouldn't discourage anyone.

In this era of canceling shows, even if very poplar, just not enough. I worry we may never see this again. Well, there is the Internet and maybe some people who love a show more then money, will make a series that breaks even and rather then killing it, they keep it going as long as fans want it. Then maybe we can decide what is good and worth watching.

The big one was built for TMP and the smaller one for STII. Both were used throughout the TMP-STVI era sorry Anonymous but both A models that were sold were built well before.

So it's not the "holy grail" Enterprise, but a much smaller version just used for a couple shots in that one movie.

That way we mere mortal trekkers can get a look at them.

I guess there will not be another TNG film now that half the props and furniture is being sold off, I'd be much happier knowing that this stuff was all still sitting in a box somewhere in the Paramount lot picking up dust in good condition then being who knows where (goes afk to cry) This auction goes to show that Trek is truly dead screw the new film if it's set in the 23rd Century bring back TNG crew & the Enterprise E This is depressing they’re selling all the Models, this sort of means we’ll never see them on screen again, all I can say is the next Trek film/series better have PERFECT CGI!

I think, however, that we all agree the Movie Enterprise is a much prettier ship, and it's Kirk's ship which makes it more powerful than the Galaxy-class Enterprise. "FIRE!"
