I was wondering if there are/were any updates regarding the Round 2 TOS Enterprise in 1/350 scale? Knowing my luck the thing won't be seeing the light of day, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Round 2 Update(s)?

Good point. Fair enough.
That was in the blueprint stages back when Polar Lights/Playing Mantis got sold to RC2 the first time. I'm sure the paperwork is still on file somewhere, but right now it feels like it's very low on the priority totem pole.
Right now, Round2's priority seems to be improving the AMT kits (within limits of ROI) and continuing the 1000 scale line, with 350 as the "premium" line of one every couple of years. Personally, I think they know that if they do any 350 next other than the TOS E, the lynch mobs will form very quickly.

Aye... but after the TOS ship (which I WILL buy, if produced), they ought to do the 1701-D.

Eesh... well, I really hope they end up making it... I would LOVE to have a big TOS E.

They'd only be able to do that at 1000 scale where it would come out a few inches larger than the AMT version which is 1400 scale. At 350, the D would literally be the size of the 6 footer FX model.
Costly in the current economic climate where more people are out of work and have less spare money for such a big purchase. If they're sitting on it strictly for current economical and ROI reasons, I can deal with that. Taking that out of the equation though, there's no reason it won't be a success otherwise.
A few of the many good reasons why Paramount auctioned off those big models.
