News TOMY Star Trek Diecast Ship Replicas

[thribs]

Yeah, I’ve heard of those services where they give you a fake address in the US to send them to, which then get shipped to you but they always seemed rather pricey.

So I guess there is some news. I first heard about this from this small You Tube channel that popped up in my feed, so do not mind giving them a plug.

I like that the individual LEDs in the nacelles are now no longer visible behind the Ddffusor, still to blue imo. The pain job looks great! Glad the blue has been toned down here.

That looks absolutely beautiful. Glad they put the diffuser in there. Makes a world of difference. The paint job is perfect and it looks like they addressed the nacelle sag. Wish I had the money for it, though…

Any news on where they are at? I don't have Facebook and dislike that Tomy doesn't send out updates to backers.

No, the May update was the last one.

I’ll never be able to justify something like this. I was gonna say afford, but that’s not true. I could afford one, but I don’t think I’d ever be able to justify one.

For the same price I could pick up a latest generation XBox/Playstation/Nintendo whatever you which I’d get hours of fun from.

For the same price I could book a nice weekend away somewhere with the missus and have a lovely old time.

Something like this… it’s too much to pay for something that just sits there… for me anyway.

It’s very pretty though. Beautifully done. The nacelle lighting was my immediate gripe before and I’m glad to see it’s been addressed.

This is why I would consider this a very niche "luxury spend" the kind of thing I would buy if I were well off enough to not notice the wallet pain
