Just received my Tricorder :), looks great but need some time to review functionality etc. Pics etc to follow!

Now back to looking forward to the model.......

For those of us in the UK yes it does even with the current exchange rate. Shipping of something of this size from the US to the UK will be around $400. When this hits the UK shores, UK customs duties will add 20% of the total INCLUDING shipping costs so another $220 (based on $699 + $400 x 20%)...

I doubt that any alterations will be made either, but if there were any quality issues the US buyers identify it would give us the chance to reconsider if necessary.

For anyone interested who hasn't seen it yet the TOMY UK Facebook page states that the UK release shipping date is expected to be Jan-Feb 2026. Might not be a bad thing as plenty of feedback should be available on the model after its US/Canada release in September.

On the UK release subscription, I contacted TOMY UK about my US subscription and asked what the "selected fans" comment meant and how much later the UK release would be after the US. No comment on either the fans or release date questions but they did say that I could wait until after I had...

Might be a dumb idea and probably not cost effective but towards the end of STTMP the crew literally walk off of the tip of the saucer section onto V'ger as the saucer edge is kinda docked with it. They could have made a removable stand alone support to replicate a piece of the V'ger ship to...

I have had the same response that UK buyers will receive their ships after the US but again no indication of how much longer. TOMY US asked me if I wanted to cancel my order in favour of the UK pre-order but I am leaving things as they are until further information on the UK release is made...

I have also emailed them asking if they anticipate the model being released in the UK at the same time as the US/Canada release or whether it will be later. I will update when I receive their reply.

Yep it's on their Facebook page.

Hi, Could you share where it was announced and did you contact them through the standard TOMY UK website as I will likely do the same as I was expecting to pay that much on shipping and import duty VAT charges on the US import so if they are going to release it the UK option would be a...

I could be interested but after the recent Rambo knife ban in the UK we might not be allowed to own steel cutlery by then! But put me down for one just in case.

Same in the UK. I am expecting to pay as much again if not more in shipping and taxes as the model costs. Life on an island lol!!.

Thanks for the update and sorry to hear about your family's health issues. Glad things are improving but yours and your family's well being have to be your number one priority so don't worry about timescales for this. These things are "nice to have" but they are just things and it won't hurt...

If anyone does drop out let me know as I would like to be considered but understand this might be a long shot.
