I'm still excited to receive mine, I'm just quite baffled by some of the decisions they made and how easily avoided some pitfalls were. It's still probably the best model that 600 bucks can buy. (but it could have been better if they thought through their seam placements, and gone a lot more smoothly if they knew how to communicate)
Factory Entertainment now exists if you've got that kind of spending cash. But considering I don't expect to ever get my hands on one of those, I still hope that Tomy would do more ships at this price range. But uh...hopefully they learn some lessons from this experience, because there was more than one unforced error here.
Aside from the obvious fumble with placing all those screw seams on the starboard side instead of the port side, the colors and lights generally look pretty good in the photos I've seen so far. Still waiting to get a good look at what the nacelle caps look like in motion but they seem like they may be way too saturated. However the main part that looks distractedly poor are the saucer streaks which appear extremely bold, even, and orderly, which is pretty much the opposite of what you want from that sort of detail. A lighter touch with less regularity would have been appreciated.
