    Star Trek Picard Season Three

    No season is perfect, but there's really no better place to leave them than . It's hard to imagine that another movie could end any better than that. And if you can't meet or exceed where things were left, why bother? Don't pick it up again if you can't leave it better than you found it. Could...

    Star Trek Picard Season Three

    Picard season 3 indeed has only 10 episodes. The rest of the "27" are behind the scenes features, deleted scenes, and a few episode audio commentaries. I liked the commentaries a bunch. This show ends at season 3, and there is currently no plan for more. However, the ending does set up a new...

    Star Trek Picard Season Three

    That was all part of season 1, and it's basically the only thing you really need to know going into season 3: Altan Soong, son of Noonien Soong (the guy who made Data) had continued his father's work and ended up developing hyper-advanced android bodies that are nearly human/organic, much more...

    Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

    B, C and D are all good options. A is neat but can't compete standing next to the other three!

    Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

    My model came out pretty well overall, a couple blemishes here and there but nothing egregious. The one blemish that really bothers me is that the inside of the bridge dome seems to be dusty. And being on the inside, I can't clean it. A bunch of specs are visible in the dome. That makes me...

    Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

    My package was originally scheduled for saturday, but they hit me with the "delivery attempted" despite us being home and waiting for it. I think everyone experiences that old chestnut from UPS from time to time. Following that, I requested a confirmed two hour window for their next attempt and...

    Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

    Indeed. Star Trek Continues (fan series but with significant unofficial support from trek crew) had also previously referenced the same Franz Joseph manual for their model with very similar results, shown below. Despite only being cited in episode dialogue and reference material and never...

    Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

    That's all good news. Taking feedback, learning lessons, and marching forward with more models is the best we can hope for! Customers getting their shipments this week still seem pretty enthused by what they've received despite the stumbles. Fingers crossed for the Enterprise D following all...

    Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

    From a quick glance at recent posts, here's what users reported. If anybody wants to find their number and state a destination (some of these were approximate) maybe we might find a pattern in the destinations, since the numbers don't seem to mean anything. Or maybe it's a waste of time...

    I do wonder if it's by region. I'm on the west coast.

    Got my shipping notice as well. Order number just shy of 1900. Claims to be delivered by this Saturday.

    Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

    $2000 for 24 inches of Enterprise sure sounds really nice now compared to $17,000 for 29 inches.... which is what Factory Entertainment is now charging for what seems to be a very similar offering. Meanwhile Tomy's 32 incher was 600 bucks including shipping, they could charge fully double that...

    Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

    It was clear from the beginning that this was a side passion project that a couple guys somehow got their bosses to approve, and that they didn't have experience with trying to market something like this on their own. Since before the kickstarter even ended, I was already saying that they really...

    Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

    I still think that there's got to be some sort of reaction going on in there. I believe particle collection (and sometimes dispersion) is just a part of its function. All that flashing and glowing has got to mean more than a vacuum cleaner. There's certainly a stew brewing in there. I imagine...
