Then she gets over it, and you have your Enterprise.

TOMY reported there will be a detailed hangar deck, arboretum and officer’s lounge. They said pictures and videos will soon be shown.

Didn't see that. Where was the post ?

I posted an earlier one on how to level it. 3D Print a wedge and put it under the base !

I wonder, though -- the rod itself looks to be at a slight angle into the base. That could mean this angle is integral to the front-to-back balance of the model, and doing a wedge could make it unstable?

Hi, I was a consultant on the Tomy Refit product.
What you see in the recent photos is a hand-finished prototype. I am told it is continuing to be refined prior to the debut of the crowdfunding on Aug. 1.
The stand isn't adjustable but the nose-down attitude will be fixed.
The hangar bay doors are magnetic just like the previous TOS ship, and can be removed to reveal the interior.
Color issues such as on the strongbacks are being rectified.

Thanks Karl. Fantastic job by the TOMY TMP Enterprise design team!
Cool. Thanks for clearing that all up for us...
Might as well ask... any kind soul in the US willing to take my money and buy an extra for me and ship it to Sweden next year?

Possibly. That has been brought up in some other posts. In that case everyone will have to live with the tilt ! Better safe than sorry.
Agreed.
The anger (and desire for murder) ultimately fades.
But the whining has no end

Latest update.
Our design team has confirmed that the answers below are accurate. We’re looking forward to sharing more photography of the prototype in future updates, so keep watching this space.

The base is specifically designed to securely hold a replica weighing over 20lbs. It also contains the power source and USB-C charging port (Cord not included) and light modes controls. Those are the main reasons why it looks different from the TOS base.

I liked the base of the TOS model. Can TOMY do a similar base for this model?
The base is specifically designed to securely hold a replica weighing over 20lbs. It also contains the power source and USB-C charging port (Cord not included) and light modes controls. Those are the main reasons why it looks different from the TOS base.The base looks like it tilts the replica at an angle I don’t like. Why was it designed this way?
In the production model, the starship will sit level and not be tilted.Will this replica require a support structure like the TOS model did?
The base design might change a little to accommodate the heavy ship. The use of a saucer support might be necessary, as it was for the TOS model.Are the hot spots on the nacelles going to be eliminated or diffused in the production model?
The blue lights in the nacelles will be diffused in the production model.Will the SURAK Shuttlecraft be able to dock with the ship?
Yes, the SURAK Shuttlecraft will be able to dock with the Enterprise when removed from the Warp Sled.Does this model have a shuttle bay that opens?
This model features a Detailed Hangar Deck. Like TOMY’s TOS Enterprise production piece, the doors can be removed.Does the Detailed Hangar Deck have interior details?
TOMY’s TMP Hangar Deck will replicate the hangar Deck from the movie but will not include any shuttlecraft, pods, or people.Does it require batteries or a power outlet?
It is USB-C powered (cord not included). No batteries needed!
