New AMT model kits coming - SNW Enterprise, Cerritos ( www.culttvmanshop.com )

While my preference isn’t to link to a vendor site, Round 2 (AMT’s parent) doesn’t seem to be posting these forthcoming releases on their own website yet. (Hope this is cool with community rules.) This vendor apparently saw these at a fair and booked supply. Credit to them for getting the information up.

Suggest folks outside the US contact their local/regional independent AMT stockists to see if they can preorder. Round2/AMT seems to be planning to have a presence at a series of toy fairs and trade events through the fall, so it sounds like there will be opportunities for other vendors to carry them.

Winter 2023-2024 seems the expected release time for these new models.

The TMP and Undiscovered Country Ktinga battlcruisers are newly rereleased along with the Enterprise D and the TOS K-7 space station.

I recently had a pretty horrible experience with an AMT Enterprise-D. Bad plastic quality, giant sprue marks all over the place (including on panel lines), and terrible fit. It was like a blast to the past of what model building was during the 1990s, before modern injection molding technology.

Makes sense and good to know.

Some of the older Klingon model designs have been updated as they are rereleased. I can see that the Enterprise D would need that too.

Definitely the case that injection-moulded plastic models and miniatures have come up significantly in quality and down in cost in the past two decades as the technology has changed.

It would be important to know if these rereleases is an updated reissue or not. The proprietor of this shop seems to be in the k is on these points. It would be worth messaging him to ask if people are interested.

By the way, from the information he seems to have got at the con where the upcoming SNW Enterprise was promoted, it sounds like AMP is reworking the model design from its limited issue Discovery Enterprise to match the refit between Disco and SNW.

Nice…to be honest, I want even sure if they still had the license.
