I'm honestly surprised that there isn't more interest in this. This is definately one of the rare times a factory mistake will most likely be more valuable later on.

And hey, it's the Excelsior. Stands up there with the Enterprise, Reliant, and Voyager as the most famous Trek ships. Especially from a company that has announced they have no real desire to release ships not named Enterprise.
It's not like they gave the Enterprise the wrong letter suffix.

And the Excelsior as an excelsior refit is not without precedence. Playmates reissued their Enterprise-B as the Excelsior.

I'm not saying the mistake is a good thing, but I don't see it being "defective." True, a sticker replacement is not good enough. A full exchange is the only proper course of action. But, getting a more famous ship is not the end of the world.
