I posted a question on their FB page, asking whether they were going to address some of the disparities between their prototype and the Mark VII…no response as of yet. I have a Rodd.com kit I’d be happy to offer them if it means they can make the body more accurate.
Same! Preordered it on day 1!

If the refit is the off the shelf kit then their price is extra absurd. A pro built commission would in fact probably be far better, and you could request exactly how you wanted it. And I might bet get it sooner. There are people with stupid amounts of money for this and I don't fault them if they bought one one bit, because $20K to some is like the $20 bill in our pocket to us. Yet even if I won the lotto, not sure I could mentally get passed some things. LOL

They sell their products as prop replicas and never once state that these are idealized versions based on the whims of one man, as stated in this video.

Agreed commission a pro built one they way you the version to be. For 20K I can get a pro built done and use the rest to buy a used car. Yes many out there have deep pockets but staring at a display. I wouldn’t see the Enterprise in a display in my eyes there is cash in that case I can’t spend. Anyways if someone buys one of these built ship hopefully they do a review and share their finding pros and cons. They look great, but for 20K I can buy a lot more collectibles though

can confirm. i may have gotten a photo. i think when i was there it wasn't lit up though.
Fantastic. I will buy for sure. This is a big upgrade from MR.
Yeah my thoughts as well. I like his comments on how MR was basically unfinished as a desired due to the end
It's a real shame about that Franken-corder. I would have loved an accurate Mark VII Medical Tricorder, but so many details are off, from the Mish mash of VI and VII details to the sounds, especially the peripheral scanner and that horribly inaccurate beeping it makes.
They say it is a prototype but if they've got those kind of details wrong now when there is SO much reference out there that I don't see them making drastic changes before committing to cutting steel on the molds.
It's not like FE are fans working from screencaps.
Hope for the best.

I don't know how I feel about them making some of the replicas out of metal, like the Tricorder and Assault Phaser. When MR did the TOS Phaser and First Contact Tricorder in metal I was really happy with the way they felt but the more that I think about it, in the 22nd or 23rd centuries I would expect them to use some sort of wonder material that was both lighter and stronger than metal, like carbon fiber is today.
