News TOMY/Prestige Select - TOS Enterprise Replica - 32.5" 20lbs Diecast & Lit

Well I had called twice and they assured me they both times they were going to send out emails to a workable link to fix the credit issue. The first one they sent out led to no where. I told them this and then same person twice told me they where aware of the problems and were getting it sorted out. I even recieved an email in this
I was sent this email today which would be day 5. I had called again today and they close early on Friday. Not sure how to take this..

Subject: TOMY Prestige Select Campaign Currently Being Finalized
Hello

Please note that campaign called 32 Inch Star Trek Enterprise – Die Cast Metal Replica is currently being processed and finalized.

Please note that if you received a failed contribution email notice and wanted to re-try your credit card, you will not be able to do this at this time.
Thank you.

Not sure if it means it's too late to try or if they are still working on the problem. There was no way to use the website since everything in my account was deleted on their end when it concerns my contributions.

 

They sent a late follow up and basically said sorry for the confusing email. Lol. Said my order will still be honored. So looks like I am still on the list.

 

A new video

 

Tempting, but they don't ship crowdfunded items to Canada

 

Actually its an old video...you got me all happy there for a bit...lol

 

Well my CC has been charged. Now the 1 year wait...lol

 

I wanted to get one of these but they don’t ship to the UK. A bit of a oversight on their side

 

I found it odd that they would not ship international. Tomy is a Japanese company but I'm not sure if it's just Tomy US doing this. Too bad you could not get someone to ship it out. I'm guessing since they offered Free shipping and tax was included in the price they didnt want to have to shop these things out for free across the world. Maybe they should have just said free shipping US and still did international with a shipping charge. But than we probably would have heard a whole bunch of complaints over that.

 

It’s just one of those things.

 

Doubtful it will be limited to backers only, crowdfunding is a risk-free way to raise money to cover start-up costs for a project - presumably it will be released worldwide down the road

 

They said no more would be made after this batch...

 

They changed their minds before.

 

What item did Tomy change their minds on about before???

 

I think this one so far? Needed more backers or something to begin with didn't it?

Mad that they are going to destroy the moulds.

 

Right they changed during the campaign to get it to succeed. They ended up getting 2953 or so orders on it so more than the 2000 they reduced it to. That included people buying two or three. I bet they will have 3000 made though.
Anyhow I thought pub was implying they changed their minds on other stuff they had made in the past.

 

Please don’t destroy the moulds….come on TOMY…I’m a pauper.

 

For what it's worth...

Tomy sent out a survey regarding follow up releases to the original 1701, it asked the following:

Rank these four ships in order of interest
TOS Klingon D7
TMP 1701 refit
TNG 1701-D
SNW 1701

What is your preferred scale?
32 inches - $599
24 inches - $499
16 inches - $299

 

Refit
1701-D
TOS Klingon
Discoprise

 

1701 Refit
1701 SNW
Klingon D7
TNG 1701-D

As for scale, I usually go by whatever is cheapest. Though 16 inches is quite small.

 

SNW Enterprise.
