Sorry, but it seems like the page you were trying to view does not exist.

What would you like to do?​

HOLY CRAP I THINK THEY CRASHED!

Either they can't figure percentage or it's not the 2k?????

1098 is not 72% unless they changed the goal???

Currently at 1100 backers at $1,007,006.

It's bang on 72% of $1,398,000, which is their target.

I thought they said it was 2k ships? Either way, all good.

Refit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's because a lot of backers have bought two or three ships. That isn't individual ships sold, it's individual buyers.

HOLY CRAP! Check out this video guys!

Caps for screws to look like plating.

Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Saucer Separation. Good!!!!

No Assembly. Comes ready out of box.

Bring on the Enterprise A Tomy

Man even as a prototype it looks so cool! I guess they now added the saucer supports now too!

 

[RevelationSpace]

HOLY CRAP! Check out this video guys!

Beautiful!

It's good to get to see some more angles of this. Clearly the area just forward to the impulse engines is a separate piece to allow them to secure the neck to the saucer. Sounds like they've got more of a handle on hiding the screw plugs this time, which is great.

Those saucer supports may just be for that display because it's rotating and always moving. That said, they have said they may need to make a saucer support, which is fine.

 

[Jamesfett]

Better base and trying for no support structures

 

[Jamesfett]

No sounds

 

[floron]

3/4ths of the way there!

Bring on the Enterprise A Tomy

My main takeaway from that video is that the prototype is very nice and he's confident that they've figured out a lot of the problems that haunted the TOS model.

Also, this is maybe a little harsh, but I kinda think Factory Entertainment should be embarrassed to be releasing their ships at such a huge price. Yes, they're nicer, but you're talking about an almost 2000% increase in price compared to the Tomy model, which is in no way justified imo.

Yeah FE is just going for the millionare/billionare club. But their collectibles have always been pricey! BTW the warp mode is freaking awesome!
