I have the Original Series Enterprise in the Etched Glass Block Collectible from The Hamilton Collection. The Etched Glass Block portion is Awesome looking. The base I must say, although visually very nice looking is poorly designed. The bulbs started flickering and eventually burnt out and were not replaceable from the top or directly underneath the etched glass block. Nor were they accessible from the bottom as the Certificate of Authenticity is glued directly to the botom of the base and the only accessible part is the battery compartment, which you would expect it to be. Once I was finally able to remove the Certificate of Authenticity from the back with little damage, I was disappointed to find out that all the electronics on the inside, Including the Bulbs, were Hot-Glued in; making them impossible to remove and replace or repair. I have since then, gutted the base completely and will design and create my own light source to display my glass block, lighted, once again.

What the hell are those guardian ships made out of, I’m guessing metal of some kind I could be wrong.

Okay, now that is kinda small for a 100 bucks. Dangit I really was thinking about getting it, but I just can’t justify it to myself let alone the wifey, at that price.

To clarify, the glass is 5″ wide by 2.5″ tall. The base and the glass together is 3-5/8″ H x 7-3/8″ W.

22 Jim Nightshade:

The size of the glass block is stated to be “3-5/8′” H x 7-3/8″ L x 5″ deep” so I’d say about a stack of 8 or 9 Dvd plastic covers.

Hmmm “Budget” collectible or not, I’d expect the paint job to be accurate – not just misplaced reg numbers – look at the finish on the Ent-D’s nacelles. That’s the sorta job I’d have done when I was 8 – and I wasn’t trying to sell mine!

Compare that NCC-1701 with the Corgi equivalent for example.

The quatloos stay in the wallet on these ones.
