Before i got to this explanation, the way the original email was worded had me leaning towards something with the electronics.
Eh, I don't mind waiting a few more months.
TOMY, how's the discasting?
Had to do it.
Anyway, amazing looking replica. If you have the play money to spend, this is the thing to get.
In some one day future time, when I have play money (which will never be a thing), I'd get such possible follows ups as the Enterprise D, the TNG Romulan warbird, the Enterprise C, and the alternate future U.S.S. Pasteur.

Hell no!
That 2000% increase was specifically quoted by Retrospect Studios' art prints by painter Kavita Maharaj. While fees are probably going up across the board, I don't think it's a one-to-one thing and every licensor who had a Star Trek deal prior to the Skydance merger has had their fees go up 20 times.
Nacelle and Fansets have already said that they're keeping their Trek licenses.
Licensing's equivalent of The Burn.
the post on reddit is worded oddly, but it reads to me the 2000% increase isn't on licencing fees, but on royalty minimums, which is a sales based metric - so more likely to effect the sales of niche items that don't do big numbers. It may be that print seller and jacket company don't make enough royalty revenue to be worth the trouble. I tried to do a licencing deal with a big pharma company once for an aspect of their technology and they told me that my company wouldn't sell enough product for it ever to be worth it for them to even bother paying their attorney to do a licence and then have their accounting people keep track of our royalty payments.
As a consolation for the delivery delay, the TMP Enterprise model is getting an additional setting/mode to have the nacelles light up purple (as in the pre-production publicity photos) in addition to blue (as in the final films).
Hi Everyone!
We very much appreciate all of your patience on our 1:350 Star Trek™ NCC-1701 U.S.S. Enterprise from The Motion Picture die-cast model as we continue production.

Due to the continued wait, as a token of our appreciation, we have added another feature to be included in the model. The nacelles will light up purple as well! Please see the image below to see the purple lights for yourself.
Thank you again for all of your support throughout this campaign and if you have any questions, please reach out to TOMY+ at tomyplus@tomy.com or 1 (800) 704 8697.

Wait a sec, this model doesn’t have the struts for the saucer section!!?
Oh, yeah, they should be visible from that angle, shouldn't they? I remember they said they were going to try to eliminate them, but since they've been on all the prototypes up until now, I figured that wasn't practical.
Were the nacelles ever purple in the movies?
Seems a random feature to add, but I can’t remember.

That Klingon boarding party shouldn't have hid in the intermix chamber...
