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

[1138sw]

They are killing me here, that’s great
this thing is amazing but instead of debuting this thing in person at SDCC in July and running orders for 5 weeks through Star Trek Mission Vegas in August, they send it out to die in a random month with very small online presence and zero convention presence
it’s like tomy management is just humoring these guys and setting the goal of “when pigs fly”

Yeah the whole promotion was screwed from the beginning! if it wasn't for the RPF and the original poster of this thread I would never have found out about it!!

Star Tek is to Utopian for the likes of him LOL. Plus he already has real space ships blasting off into space.

the greatest pain is when I see the number of backers decrease

lol I think we're better off without him. he would pretend he's going to help out for a few weeks, make a bunch of juvenile jokes about it on twitter and randomly accuse someone at tomy of being a pedophile, before ultimately contributing nothing and going on an unprovoked rant about the federation being communist propoganda or something.

I wish Tomy would have taken a lesson on program management from SpaceX
They just launched three Falcon 9s in three days, with launches basically every week. Insane success.
Tomy wasn't able to launch this project properly. That being said, it's not too late. Extend
the deadline and get that proto in front of eyes at conventions. I don't care if it takes a six month extension even
and more promotion. Find a way to pull a win out of this.

This is a pretty good deal really. I too thought the saucer separation joint was a bit too noticeable... hopefully that will be corrected for the run - which I really hope happens.

I agree the promotion of this is a bit wonky.

I can't afford it. I'm in card debt for car repairs for cars I don't even have anymore! I hate mechanics! Rip offs made things worse...

Man sorry. Very sorry. I hate mechanics too. I feel you.

I'm on the fence, but only cuz i'm poor. it's def worth the price (well, compared to the 1.5k to 3K price-tag i'm used to)

one kvetch-- per this side-by-side youtube , I feel like the glossy finish (e.g. the master replicas version) is more screen accurate....am I wrong? The flat finish feels a little listless to me. Can we beg Tomy to gloss it up?

Ummm I prefer the flat finish but is the Master Replicas one that glossy? It always looked flat to me. But sadly I never owned one... so I can't tell. But me personally I prefer the flat look with weathering. If they do weathering right this could be a very nice piece...

Two weeks left, and only at 18%.

Song in my head......
