Eaglemoss Star Trek U.S.S. Reliant Collector's XL Edition

Impressive detail level on this model. One of my all time favorite ships from the Star Trek universe! Only complaint is that the “USS RELIANT” name on the top of the saucer doesn’t have the red pin striping and is kinda faint. But considering the rest of the details that comes in pretty minor.

This is a beautifully detailed model of one of Star Trek's most iconic ships, right down to the subtle differences in the coloring of the individual hull plates. Given this level of detail, I don't understand why the name of the ship across the top of the saucer section---certainly one of the most important features---is so light that it is barely readable. It is the only thing that a fan or collector might feel detracts from an otherwise awesome collector's piece.

I mean the toy itself is pretty big but the design is fantastic and so are the details. The ship itself comes in one piece so I didn’t have to put it together.

Very detailed and worth the price. Shipping seemed a snail’s pace, but worth the wait.

These models are very nice and have a lot of detail. Great for display but they do have one issue that I dislike a lot, and that is the fact that they are not to scale with other models of the same series or XL line. One other thing I do like is that they have no mounting holes, so that would make them perfect for encasing in Acrylic if you really hate the stand they come with.

What's there not to love; it's the Reliant (XL version) from STII: Wrath of Khan, the best Star Trek movie ever! This is a beautifully modeled ship with details in the right places, more so than the Enterprise-A. The ship is overall shaded in the wrong grey, should be light grey or an off white, but still looks really nice. The aztec paint scheme looks good, but in my opinion, it should be closer to the Enterprise-A aztec paint scheme, should be more pearlescence. That being said, this is a hefty ship, die-cast hull with plastic nacelles and weapons roll bar, and balances well on its stand. Overall, even with the minor complaints that I stated, I really appreciate the work put into it by Eaglemoss and I'm really glad that I made the purchase at a fair price ($77 before taxes). It has always been one of my favorite ships (along with the Enterprise-A, Akira Class, and Klingon Bird of Prey). Definitely a must buy for the enthusiast, collector, or STII fan.

Awesome model.

Up front, the specs on the web description are flat-out wrong. It is nowhere near 12.19 x 17.78 x 29.72 inches. The box it comes in isn't even that big. The ship actually measures about 9" x 4.5" x "2.5". With that in mind, I think the price is too high. Other than that, it is impressively-detailed for a mass-produced model its size. It's reasonably well-constructed, too, although the seam running across the top of the engine nacelles makes it really obvious that they're two pieces pressed together.
