Love all the features they're adding to this replica...but alittle worried how far the campaign still is from their goal. Would really suck if this doesn't happen.
Goal is now only 2000

Dear Star Trek fan,
At TOMY, we are very passionate about bringing quality products and collectibles to our customers. We also understand and appreciate the passion of Star Trek fans, and the collectibles they want. For these reasons, we have lowered the target again for the 32" Star Trek Enterprise die cast metal replica from 2,500 to 2,000. We are very determined to bring this amazing collectible to the fans who have supported it from day one! The deadline of the pre-order period is still July 24 at 9PM PDT, so please make sure you place your order before then.

Interesting box. Could be fancier. It is huge though.

Lol true!! Of course the box’s dimensions could change..be even bigger when all the details are ironed out!
We got this no problem now. Maybe their profit margin shrunk I’m sure. Let’s hope QC doesn’t suffer.
Despite being a lover of all things Enterprise, I've remained quiet until now. My destiny lies along a different path--my eventual build of the 1/350 Round 2 kit. While this high-end, pre-built model is tempting, I gotta pass. But I hope the crowdfunding goes well, and that the final product is excellent.
This was really smart of them to lower the order number. Psychologically, people are now convinced it will make the goal and so are taking the production much more seriously.
In fact, I just placed a second order. As such, I believe that - contrary to their rewards categories - that makes me a Commodore now.

Yahoo!!!!
The 1812 represents the number of commander, captain and admiral "rewards" funded. I assume the 1740 backers are the number of customers. The difference between the 1812 and 1740 suggests that some customers have funded multiple "rewards".
With respect to the 2,000 backers needed by July 24, $1,200,000/$599 = 2,003, so I believe the 2000 backers reference is 2000 units sold and not 2000 customers.
Also, when listening to the following video, Tomy states that "we are lowering the backer quantity from 2500 pieces to 2000 pieces" which suggests that the 2,000 backers needed by July 24 are 2000 pieces funded and not 2000 customers.
