Yeah, which is why I went looking for evidence elsewhere. Nada. And we had 2 people - in Australia no less - who probably make up an even smaller percentage of backers, post here - even before they had them in hand... so one would think that we would see at least one posting after 3 days if shipping had actually begun. And we have confirmation above that it has not. If one wants the expectation to be "fall 2023" or "October 2023" then one does not provide a specific date. Which is why most Prop companies ( which Tomy is not) don't commit to anything better than a 30 day window. Yes I am happier with 3 days late than never, but there really is no reason for it. When I have purchased similar things (high end toys - not "props" ) from overseas, the date they start to ship is 1-3 days after the container ship arrives. The resellers understand you have been waiting a long time, and don't want to be the weak link in the chain, so they are off the docks and in shippers hands as fast as they can manage it. I have often seen shipping labels created days in advance, often with a note saying "please be patient, nothing is shipping right now, but we are trying to be as ready as possible when we get the product in our hands" And you can see that is exactly what happened with resellers in Australia. Having them on"lockdown" in a warehouse , and not doing any prep work to get them out the door... with a group of people who already have a bit of a bad taste in their mouth? You would think they would be trying to salvage repuation and providing as positive an experience as possible.
Look for eBay sales from Somalia.

HUGE Custom 5 ft Star Trek Enterprise lights, engines and detailed shuttle bay | eBay
YES you read correctly! This is a 5 Foot long model enterprise! This master piece has rotating engine nacelle lights, beacons, shuttle bay and running lights. If you love Star Trek, this is the model of the iconic Enterprise for you!www.ebay.com
Though this is a 5 foot model!
They may not! They were also supposed to be producing a line of smaller diecast ship, maybe a little bigger than the Eaglemoss ships. Haven't heard anything more on that either.

Our enterprise may not be perfect but I am glad I don’t have to purchase a Master Replicas enterprise anymore! Prices are through the roof!!!
Man should have taken out a loan back then for the MR instead of school! Lol : )

He clearly understands it's not the size of your ship that matters, it's the way you show it off!

The day you tell us you got a ship confirmation?
Otherwise its just another Thursday and I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
I was gonna say shipping day, but maybe not!The day after Wednesday or the day before Friday ?

The MF from MR might be the most difficult to resolve since it's major surgery on the base itself
