First, this is not worth $50 at all.

The toy does not look like the picture--it is painted a light gray with very dark gray squares (aztec-ing) all over it. There is too much contrast between the two colors, making it look like a mottled mess.

The picture shows the ship as it should actually be--light blue with a SLIGHTLY darker shade of aztec-ing.

Other than the paint scheme, the model is made of heavy plastic, and is quite nicely detailed. It's a shame they picked the color scheme they did; if the colors were correct this would be beautiful.

The problem here lies within the construction of this item. Corgi used to make high Quality vehicles in the past, but now, everything of Corgi is made in China - therefore the quality suffers. When I received this replica starship, I was quite impressed, at first. I thought the detail was quite good. However, that quickly changed when I actually removed the item from the box and held it. It was 90% plastic, not die cast metal at all. In fact, there is only one small section of this entire item that is diecast.

When I confronted Corgi about this obvious poor choice of construction material, they said that it was the only way they could produce this item with as much detail as it has, and that if they did it in die cast, it would be far too costly to produce and market. If you ask me, all they did was simply say that their company got lazy, sold themselves out to a different company in order to cut corners and save money. This is NOT the Corgi quality I remember 30+ years ago as a kid, and certainly not worth the price tag. Shame on you Corgi.

As mentioned before this is a very good attempt to model this famous Galaxy Class Starship. However, there are four inaccuracies in the model. 1. The main impulse engine is not painted red. 2. The saucer impulse engine is painted red, when it should be black (never in the TNG series was these engines on, when the ship was connected, only later Galaxy Class ships on the DS9 series had these engines been red). 3. The name, "Enterprise" is not labeled on the sides of the foreword torpedoes tubes. Finally, the worst of them all is that the paint scheme is wrong. The ship should be primarily duck egg blue, and have light gray azteced over it. All in all, it a great attempt to model after the famous TNG ship, however, if these inaccuracies where corrected this model would be desktop worthy.
