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

This leads me to believe they aren't shipping many of these, if any of these yet!
Given the responses that have been posted from TOMY ( Thanks all for posting those by the way ) they think the order is still in the "processing" stage -- i.e. Before shipping. If the item is backordered and not in stock to be picked and shipped, you can bet it is in a "processing" state in the support agent's computer. But we have been seeing "still in processing" status for our orders for over a week now. If they they are using their normal warehouse process ( maybe not) then they would normally expect processing to be 1-2 days given th info on the website. Delays much longer than that would most likely indicate they either don't have them in stock to pick, or there is an administrative hold on them - i.e. they have some other issue they are working through. Maybe they plan to double box them, and don't have the right size boxes (China uses metric, somone ordered boxes in imperial) , or they have a quality control issue - either damage in shipment or they don't have the right instructions in the box - etc and they are working to correct that before shipment. Or maybe management is very bothered by the reaction and cancellations and is delaying shipment to see what can be done (different stands, support modifications ) to mitigate what they see as a black eye on the Prestige line. . Or someone said, "hey the more people we frustrate into cancelling orders, the more units we have to sell at $1200-1700 (or more) a pop" All we have evidence of is a longer that what would be expected "processing" time given the date they told was was a "ship date" (i.e. AFTER processing is done)

If they are going in order we should be able to predict as we get more reports. My 2nd order is in the early 2000s. I suspect that could be some time off.

Awesome! I’m 2,205 behind you so it might be a while for me.

Does the tracking say what date the label was printed and when it was picked up by the carrier?

Congrats, on getting the notice. Though it looks like the are NOT shipping in them in the order they were ordered. My order # is lower than 55 and I have not received a shipping notice. Maybe layer today

Glad to know they are shipping them. Keep us updated on your order.

That is disappointing to hear. The First backers should be processed and shipped first. Granted our only other data point is also a low number so maybe yours was just in a different stack and worked by the slower person, but if these are really being processed in such small batches that we are only now getting into the high tens, this is going to take a really long time.

Bummer. Oh well. What can you do. Mishaps all the way through the process.

At the rate they are shipping they may not finish till next Oct. Yikes!
 
Dang ... before revisiting this thread today, the last page I viewed was 87. As I opened this thread today, I thought for sure I'd see pics from US customers who'd rec'd their ships. Another expectation of TOMY blown!

I wouldn't t assume there's 2 people working on this if I were you.
 
Thanks to base dimensions provided by Pebble, I cleared a spot in my office for the Enterprise. I had to add some filler boards to the top of my Serenity BDR crate for support, and the Enterprise’s base will extended off the edges just a bit, but this spot will work. I just need to clear away the clutter from behind the crates and find a new home for Darth.
