...and don't get me wrong, I think the model is looking great! I'm just so happy to have such a huge, painted and lit model of my favourite spaceship.

Great point. A few pages back there’s actually a pic of the unpainted die cast prototype with an additional cutout for light coming from the bridge. Gary Kerr confirmed that they were experimenting with the top registry lighting but failed, and they were going to use the existing cutout to achieve the effect

Yeah that's looking better than I ever expected it to. Just sad that I have to wait until bloomin January to get my hands on it.

I missed the crowdfund on it, but I may have to try and pick one up second hand on ebay.. provided budget allows.

Unfortunately the second hand market prices will probably be like the prices people are asking and selling for with the Wand Tricorder .

Might depend on how long I wait. When the original series Enterprise first came out they were selling on ebay for anywhere between $800 and 1200. A Markup from the TOMY price of $600 -- and of course so many cancelled orders that they could even be had directly from TOMY at that price. Now they are $3k + . The TOS release was a bit different because fewer were made, and many were buying two or three with intention to sell on the secondary market. With this one more units will be made but fewer people bought seconds, but I am betting there are peole who are going to get it and still think its not good enough - and just sell it.. the real question is how many people will that be.. and will I be paying any better attention then than when I missed the original Crowdfund ( My TOMY emails were going to the spam folder. ...) Oh well, if I can't afford one for snoozing its no one's fault but my own.

I hope you can get one for a decent price. There undoubtedly will be plenty on the secondary market. Try looking at the TOMY Enterprise Owners Facebook Group. People are mostly willing to negotiate a decent price and there is no tax of course. People have been selling their extra TOS's here with not overly inflated prices. When the time comes the page is worth checking out.

I know people don't like to use FB but this might be worth it.
This is truly the deal of the century if they deliver that.

Oh yeah for sure! I think the TOS was helluva deal too. Yes the ship wasn't perfect but for what you get it's an amazing deal! I love my TOS and just admire it every time i look at her!

I'm in the UK, it's getting released later than the US here.Why January? I thought these were shipping in Oct? January way to long!
There will be loads and loads of them for sale. A lot of scalpers overlooked the TOS Enterprise but almost 600 backers bought two or more copies this time in the US alone (can't see the UK data anymore for some reason), and you can bet that the bulk of those will end up on ebay. Market saturation should then keep the prices reasonable.
