Cool model, but you would have to be a total geek to have it on your desk. OK, maybe on your desk at home, but not at work.

@Klearwater Killer I have a giant-sized D20, a cyborg skull and a boba fett bobblehead on my desk at work. I don't think anyone would be shocked.

Of course they wouldnt be shocked. They would expect someone like you to have toys on their desk.

The colors are off. Maybe this is the ME3 version.

@Gibbeynator Well, the one from ME2 was the SR1, so I'm betting you're right.

@evilgeneral4 Uh, what? The SR1 only made an appearance for the first 15 minutes of Mass Effect 2. The rest of the game featured the Cerberus-built SR2.

That looks so awesome, but I didn't e en spend a third of that price on Mass Effect 2. Then again Chief could use some company

I'd prefer the Normandy SR1, but that's just me. I thought it was a better-looking ship. Also, this may be the "new" Normandy in Mass Effect 3. The colors and paint scheme are different, and it says SR2 on one of the inner engine strut and not the hull like it did in Mass Effect 2.

Well, they probably needed to get a new paint job now that they're not affiliated with Cerberus anymore.

@captcarl Heard the Alliance takes this ship as theirs given it's based on their ship. They strip it down learn what they can and rebuild it.
Basically Bioware's reboot so they can move stuff around on the inside (probably on dev and fan rethinking of the ship) for ME3. Always felt Engineering and Medbay should be as central as possible for one.

@houser - Let's hope that there are no elevators either (just stairs...sweet, beautiful, no loading screen necessary stairs).

Yeah... my Halo Reach display needs some company on the shelves. Maybe the awesomeness of Commander Shepard and the Normandy can will them off that rock (err... display base) alive this time around.

Scale model? YES!
Model you have to put together? NO!
I will never be able to build it to look that good.

This, a Firefly class ship, and an X-Wing would look great together

I just ordered this for my wife, she loves this kind of crap (huge nerd). half way through ordering i realized that i used to shop at this store in beaverton OR when i was in college, it was a tiny little store accross from a pho noodle restaurant (got a lot of card games there). glad to be supporting them from a far (now in madison WI) great people.

FRAGILE: May contain Joker.

Can I get a lego set of this instead?

Going by the look and the price, I'm assuming this is a model made out of some kind of plastic. Not necessarily a bad thing, I'm just trying to figure out if I want a plastic ship model on my desk at work. Die cast probably wouldn't even be a question.
Also, does anyone know what the actual dimensions of the ship are? My desk space isn't limited, but this would need to be displayed properly...possibly in some sort of simulated flight hanging from the ceiling tiles.

@Drakkenfyre not to nit-pick, but 6-1/4 inches (hey, that 1/4 inch makes a difference - just ask my wife! http://sadtrombone.com)
ANYwho ... I could see this being die-cast metal at that size and at that price, but I can't seem to find any clarification on their website.

I was quoting from the site, I thought it said 6 and a half inches long.
From that price point I thought it was an unassembled model, but from the site, it doesn't say it is.

@docalien The paint is probably cutting down on the shininess.

This may be the first ridiculous game related trinket I've ever purchased. I wonder how forgiving my fiancé will be over the geekiness...

way too small for me to care. Should at least be double that size.

It's cute but I'd much rather have it bigger. :D

Do I smell a CMG?

I'm kind of sad that it is so small. It'll look dinky next to my model of the Swordfish II. I wonder if I could swap it onto a better base.
This would make an awesome limited edition item. Do want either way, but still.
