Thanks D.M for the backup... concerning the crew my hopes heavily lie on IDW, in my opinion there could be hell of a lot explaining done with Countdown! As stated in other threads, the plan is to kind of 'pass the torch' from Movie-TNG to JJ-TOS, so why not also do some torch-passing between Early Voyages and JJ-TOS? These Marvel-stories were really really good and since IDW reprints them I here again strongly suggest to do new EV-stories and let them conclude in Countdown, which could (and in my opinion should) be a meeting between EV, TNG and JJ-TOS

And by the way: let go of this 'it could be another timeline'. That's sooo easy, like saying 'oh, it's the fault of a wizard'. Very Happy

I'm fully aware that there are contradictions in the Canon itself, but most time there are either not really that bad or sometimes not even recognizeable. But in JJ-TOS we're talking about open violations of the canon at full intent (okay, now that was the lawyer in me speaking... Cool

)

again, sounds a bit easy to me, but I'll wait until I've seen the movie, will probably be the best thin to do...

by the way, on this site you can check out all the ships and vehicles that the new movie will feature:

especially a good shot at the hoverbike from the trailer. Does anyone know if the policeman is human or some kind of robocop?

okay, seems there actually is an explanation for the changes in design and everything made in the move and you guys were right:
http://www.trektoday.com/news/131208_01.shtml

there'll be some kind of parallel timeframe, like in Myriad Universes and with that, even it's a very 'easy' explanation, I'm satisfied Very Happy

since the post-Nemesis universe will be left alone. I even remember now that there was some talk about parallal timeframes at the very beginning of the production, also some that mentioned a 'bad-ass' warship version of the Enterprise, sadly that it seems that this one won't be seen in Star Trek XI, would have been kind of interesting.

about this 'War-Enterprise': think we got some kind of it in ST:OGAM, the GSS Conqueror:

Trekweb has a side-view picture of the Enterprise toy.

The only thing I really don't like are the nacelles, while the only things which still look off are the saucer/neck, which are just a bit too far back. In the picture, you can see the deflector dish comes out to almost the midpoint of the saucer, whereas the original configuration had the dish extend to the point where the saucer began to curve, roughly one quarter of its diameter.

The curve on the secondary hull is too pronounced. The most it should really have to look right is from the section from where the curvature begins to the aft portion of the nacelle pylons.

If the saucer/neck was moved forward a bit more and the nacelles (not including the pylons) were moved forward a corresponding amount, it would greatly improve the look of the ship. Of course, it's moot now as the ship will look as it does now in the final product.

On a slightly different note, the floor map of the bridge playset brings up a question. Judging by the configuration of bridge stations, it looks like there are at least two turbolifts on the bridge, which keeps with how the bridge was presented in the previous movies. However, on the playset, only one of the sections indicates a turbolift. While the single turbolift configuration fits with the series version of the bridge, it is certainly odd that one of the doors apparently serves no function. Of course, it could be a manufacturing error which omitted the "slice" of turbolift.

As stated in the message thread below those pics at Trekweb, that side-view of the Enterprise toy is not the finalized version. Those pics were originally posted at Wizardworld.com but taken down at the request of Playmates.

doesn't matter anyway since this new Enterprise will be set in the JJ-Verse, an alternate timeline....

An alternate timeline that stemmed from the original timeline. Wink

Which only leaves Enterprise alone, everything from the original Star Trek through Nemesis is invalid in the neo-Star Trek timeline.
