Eaglemoss has released information on their “subscription” model of the Enterprise-D:

It’s big, to be sure, at more than 2 feet long. Like other Eaglemoss kits, this thing shows up a bit at a time (four kits per month), taking you a while to amass all the components to complete the full model. Each kit costs about £11 each (doubtless there’ll be a USD $ option soon enough). Which doesn’t sound too bad, until you scroll waaaaaaaay down to the bottom and click on the FAQ and they kinda shyly point out that this thing is composed of 120 separate kits. That’s  120 times £11 which is… £1320, or about $1770. Yikes. Plus it’ll take 30 months for all the bits to get to you.

This Enterprise was first announced nearly two years ago, if it sounds vaguely familiar. Note that the final product does look substantially better than the earlier-shown prototype.
