1/350 TOS E is happening.

[Szyntax]

I just wish they would post how many have registered, I can imagine 1701 kits would go pretty quickly.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

Are these kits going to be a limited run?

 

[Bryancd]

Got my blue as well, wrong name..

The run that we are signing up for is a limited run, only 1701 units. This kit will have some added extras which to my knowledge will only be available as an update set being sold separate from the normal kit when it comes out a little later (and I figure the box art will be unique as well). Another benefit is these will come direct from round 2 and will be shipped out before the standard kit run ships go to distributors.

 

[micdavis]

Not sure where I am on the list but I signed up as did a couple of friends here in California.

Nothing yet.

 

[space rat]

I am also patiently waiting. Anybody from Florida get theirs yet? Hopefully I'll have some good news Tuesday.

They will never post such things, they could have sold out. Or they could be way below their mark.
It's normal marketing practice to say they still have slots open. In reality we have no way to know how many units will really be offered. Plus you have to consider test shots and sample kits sent out for marketing.

Some companies were notorious for talking about limited runs. They even numbered units for authenticity. For some reason unit numbers were going above the stated unit run.

Or worse, they make another limited run. Which is really quite annoying to collectors. For it diminishes the value of the initial production run.

Considering the cost of the kits I wouldn't expect them to go very quickly. The sci-fi hobby isn't a very big one. I think 1701 units will be very hard to sell quickly, just because people sign up for shirts that doesn't translate to sales. Offer a freebie and people will come out of the wood work. But when it comes down to the sale. That's an entirely different matter.

[Onigiri]

I got an Email telling me of the name mix up but that colors and sizes would be correct.

 

[JCByrdman]

Add me to the list of blues!
There was a quizzical look as to the strange name. But maybe it's my onscreen ailas?

 

[TruBlood]

Still waiting for mine!

Same here.

Got My Blue Shirt Yesterday - Right name & everything!

 

[Onigiri]

Got my blue shirt (only one which is interesting as I pre-ordered two ships). Right size but wrong name

 

[Commander Max]

I got mine, it was addressed to "1701 club member".
But I don't like the blue they picked. I would be glad to swap it for a red of the same size.

 

[Onigiri]

Yeah...I woulda liked Red too

 

[sapper36]

Got My Blue Shirt Yesterday - Right name & everything!

Aaaand - Now my Wife has a nice Blue 1701 shirt - sigh.

I don't like the blue either.
