Yes, thank you, I joined the list to get one, glad I found this.

I love my Tomy NCC-1701 no bloody A, B, C or D. This refit will take it's place next to her. Two gorgeous ships!

[@saintelmo5590]

Refit and K't'inga.....my two favorite ships from the whole of the Star Trek universe.

[@JedNebula1]

I'm building the Polar Lights version now - and I have put magnets on all Air Locks in order to have the Pods attach to the Secondary Hull, torpedo bay and the bridge...

[@gordon5004]

It's a great time to be a fan. Between Tomy & Wand co. we've got excellent props & ships. I never thought there would be better ships than the M.R. Enterprise.

[@Robman0908]

Looks ok. It’s probably worth it if you are unable to make your own from the polar lights kit. The paint job needs a serious overhaul on the final product. It has some bizarre color choices. The strongback color is off as the A was the blue grey color with some remnants of the green that is the refit. The design on this is also from the A. That hard gold on the bridge dome is way off. Defuse the inside of the warp grill with a light coat of white and install the lighting on the roof of the grill side. Works great each time.

[@ericmartin3521]

They should probably change the final clearcoat to more of a satin rather than high gloss finish. Interior of motion picture shuttle bay is more complicated and deep than the A so that may be why the doors are closed.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

I agree.

[@annstevens6223]

A shame though. It’s beautiful with all the detail and different shuttles/pods.

[@inkermoy]

Thanks for the update! USS Reliant next plz! XD

[@artboymoy]

I"ve got the one that Master Replicas came out with a while back and that Tomy one looks pretty good and I was pleasantly surprised how quiet the nacelle motors are. They did a great job with the TOS enterprise. I'd be tempted to get the refit.

[@nelsonc6173]

You should! I will look great with your MR Enterprise as it will look great with my TOMY! For 700 bucks that's a price that can't be beat!

[@thewestfallmusicgroup9207]

Thanks for the video! Both of these replicas are a far cry from the AMT U.S.S. Enterprise I built at the age of 10 in 1967. As such, I am grateful to TOMY+ for their efforts. I already have the TOS version and despite the "dropped ball" issues (i.e.; screw holes, visible seams, etc.), the overall features (IMHO) VASTLY EXCEED the shortcomings. BTW - I have left instructions with my Family that upon my demise, BOTH ships are to be buried with me!

[@gtomartylumpkin6009]

I love my last tomy enterprise so much I can't wait to add the the collection

[@lonnyjohnson8732]

When I first saw the pictures of the person holding the die cast, I was excited. Then I saw it on the base, and just like you, I DON'T LIKE IT. It needs to be level, not tilted down. I wish they wouldn't have the vertical lights in the nacelles as well. They could smoke the backside of the blue, to defuse it maybe.

[@scarpad]

My main issue is I’m out of room but I may grab into passed on the TOS cause I already had an unlit polar lights prebuilt

[@Headcase650]

I didn't pick up the TOS one. The refit had always been my favorite....this looks amazing....but man do I love strange new worlds enterprise!

Yes, my quote is from unboxing. They did reach out over a month ago and I was desperately biting my lip not to say anything.😁 It's coming home of course and it's worth every penny.

I love your office there by the way I'm looking forward to this release of this diecast refit I see you have the ships of the line calendar on the wall I see you have July there I've got the same one that's a pretty good shot of Enterprise a being pursued by the Klingons

[@richardjohnson9543]

I'm hoping that the shuttle bay does indeed open, but it's not a deal breaker. One good thing about the Refit is that all those hull panels provide plenty of ways to hide the screw holes this time, and I'd imagine most of the little issues we see on this prototype will be addressed in the final version

[@JiminSTLouis]

The hangar deck will be open, lit and detailed.

[@jenniferbeyer6412]

My favorite Enterprise. I built a Refit back in the 80's and it took a long time. At that time had no idea how to get the Aztec paint. So I used different shades of metallic silver, painted by hand. There weren't lights then. But it looked good. Wish I still have it. When I lost my house I lost it as well. Maybe I will try the Polar Lights model someday.

[@DarinRWagner]

Thanks for this review, Stuart!

[@setvenharis]

Only available in the US. I get so pissed off when companies like this gets non-American fans (like me in the UK) interested then tells us "Sorry, only available in the USA." and if you really want one, expect to pay over $2,500 for one from a "scalper" on eBay. I'm really angry and jealous about this.

[@Anth230]

Get a friend in the US to get you one and they can mail it out to you. It will cost you shipping but at least it won't be $2500 bucks.

[@dtuk22]

If it's any consolation Corgi are developing a Die cast model of the Refit/A. Admittedly it's not as big but following Corgi's TOS & D Enterprises it should be pretty good.....& Readily available here in the UK.

[@AUIYM]

I have more of a connection to this ship than the TOS one so I think this will finally push me to buy it. I was so bummed out about missing it last time but I’m more okay now with how everything turned out. I just really didn’t think this would happen again!!

[@calvinboykin4366]

yes will get one to go with the one I got last year

[@adrianthomas5957]

Agree with the warp nacelle’s but I prefer blue instead of purple. But what is going on with the paint scheme around the deflector and strong back. Long distance shots looks like the A colour scheme. Close up it looks like a combination of the two. I was under the impression the refit was a combination of greens? Also the warp pylons inner plating looks like 3 different colours going on there.

[@Beatleboylevi]

I was way bummed, but I called the Tomy outlet store on this past Jan 29th just to check if they might have any returns or a waiting list for returns and surprisingly they had some available, so I bought three for $599 each, only I had to pay $30 each for shipping. I'm still not sure how that happened, they were supposed to be long gone by then but I got three. So I'm glad to know this time around cause I doubt I could luck out like that a second time if I missed the boat this time.

[@joegroves2517]

I've been kind of intimidated to start building my polar lights models but this just makes me think I should pull the bandaid and get going on that instead. Seams just drive me crazy. For that price they could use some putty.

Unfortunately for me, resistance is futile. This ship was my favorite so I will be on board with this one. I REALLY hope they've got a galaxy class in the pipeline.

[@StuartFoleyCaptainFoley]

Thanks for the sub! Hope you enjoy the content.

[@CessnaDriver2]

Will buy two like before.

[@StyrofoamGuy]

As a model builder I am pretty picky with the detail of the models I build. I saw the photos of the first diecast they did and the seam lines turned me off. For me it was once I see them I can not unsee them. i was not sure if I would regret not getting that first diecast. I wanted to support them but not for something I would not want to display. Of course there will be people that say I could buy it as an investment and sell it later but I do not like doing things that way. So now that the TOS has been done and shipped I do not regret getting one. I feel that it will be the same for the refit. Again as a modeller I am lucky that I will be able to build my own 1/350 refit. I actually have the kit and the paints. I am also going to add my own electronics. Yes it will cost me much more than $700US but I get to build it my way. For those that are not modellers I am glad that they now have an option of getting their own 1/350 refit.

[@robertkees6048]

Yeah this is for people that aren't model makers and don't want a glorified plastic toy. The metal diecast element is also appealing because of the weight and substance, I'm sure it feels substantial in your hands.

[@jasonspalding3823]

I want the Drydock too!

[@splodge618]

I hope they change the buttons on the base. Maybe more subtle. Or make them delta shaped.

[@kevinleftridge8241]

@@JiminSTLouis - Thanks for the update!

[@Quicky_1972]

It's definitely worth the price if you factor in the costs of the polar lights model kit, painting, aztecing, optional LED lighting kit...etc. I just hope TOMY gets the details right.

[@avenuePad]

Those blue painted highlights on the hull are too bold/prominent. I'm sure they are likely following strict movie production instructions, but that's not how the paint looks in actual footage. Those blue highlights are barely detectable when you watch the movie. I've seen really well done 1701 refits that have a more subdued blue/grey hue for those highlights and it looks much better and more in line with what we see in the movie. Edit: This could just be the lighting in the images and that the actual model/prototype looks subdued. When the model is being lit by the spotlights the blue is less prominent. I'm sure it's fine. Overall, this looks great and a shuttlepod that could dock would be fantastic! 🙂

[@avenuePad]

Apparently, this is the 1701-A paint job. A commenter on another video said that TOMY has been made aware that the blue highlights are not TMP accurate and they will be addressing it. Interesting. We'll see.

[@johnlsterlin]

I’m looking forward to getting mine! The 1701 refit is my all-time favorite Enterprise. I missed the TOMY TOS Enterprise and don’t want to pay the aftermarket price now. I completely agree about the ship not pointing down. I really hope they fix that. I’m glad they didn’t hide the buttons on the ship but I agree with the folks that have said they wish the buttons on the base were more subtle.

[@Anth230]

They are going to fix it.

I never even heard of Tomy until today when I saw a Facebook ad and signed up for the TMP immediately. I can't wait. I have no idea what to do with my dozen random sets of the Eaglemoss build TNG D. They're worthless. And they would "throw in" random sets and charge up to $70! I felt scammed after a while. And with easy math it would be $1,200 by the end of that one. (Not including the "extras") I mean, I do love the TNG shuttle set but I was already spending too much as it was. (I took a break in the 30's of the regular Eaglemoss ship collection a year prior) This die cast model is amazing. I can't wait for TMP. I'd be in Stovokor if the D came out soon after!

Tony has been around since the 1920’s in Japan. They made the wind up and motorized Zoids toy line of dinosaur and beast vehicles (think Gundam but animals), as well as many die cast and wind up Japanese toys going way back into the 70’s and 80’s. They merged with Takara a while back, but international products sell under the TOMY name.

[@StuartFoleyCaptainFoley]

No they’ve stated that this prototype is plastic. But yeah I was wondering about the other side of the model as well.

[@nelsonc6173]

Actually the Refit is 100 bucks more. The TOS was 599. The Refit will be 699. Still a great price IMO. Can't wait! So excited for this to go with my TOS! Oh and the prototype shown is in plastic not diecast. Of course it will end up being diecast but for the promotion it was built in plastic. Also there will be a detailed shuttlebay interior and officer’s lounge as well.

[@StuartFoleyCaptainFoley]

Oh that’s great to hear.

[@theforerunners5171]

How do you know the prototype is plastic and that the final version will have a detailed shuttle bay and officers lounge? I've seen no info stating any of this.

[@Headcase650]

So after watching the most recent 4K color corrected director's cut of the motion picture (the color grading on previous releases including the theatrical version were terrible) the strong back does look cool gray Robin egg blue, inside the deflector dish should be gray when off. I don't see any gold plating on the bridge module. And the finish should be satin instead of gloss.

[@JiminSTLouis]

TOMY stated they are working on making the colors more accurate on the production model vs. the prototype they’ve shown so far.

[@borusa32]

I could not justify the TOS one-beautiful though it is. I can't make model kits well enough so if I was going to get one it would either be this or a painted polar lights one . Again-cannot really justify the expense.

[@AXSLA3]

If it is fullfilling for you, go for it!

[@Kiyosuki]

It does look really nice generally, but I'm not a big fan of just how GOLD they made the bridge part. I know it's supposed to have a bit more of a platinum color to it in the movie but it's a very subtle shade as opposed to this really strong gold, and considering it doesn't seem to have as much of that florescent aztec pattern overall as well it just makes the gold stand out more amongst all the white. I know it's a really small gripe but it really jumps out at me in the pictures. It's quite nice for a completed model otherwise though definitely made for the dark since the lights and spotlights look like its biggest strength.

[@JiminSTLouis]

That will be fixed.

[@paulrmatzke298]

They say it will have no visible nuts or bolts. Hopefully meaning no screw covers.

I don’t understand the push for the whole thing to be diecast. Keep the secondary hull diecast, the neck and nacelle struts. Then do the saucer and nacelles a good quality plastic. Better detail, nicely balanced, and no risk of sagging on display.

[@RandomUnassignedYTHandle]

Diecast more unique though. And wouldn't diecast failure be more of a snap than a sag? (I'm just using the one stand on my original series ship. So far ok...knock on wood and such....)

[@nelsonc6173]

Actually this will be more of a diecast and plastic model. No word on the ratio so we will see.

[@MichaelJShaffer]

I hope they get the colors corrected. These are not the correct colors for The Motion Picture refit. Also, I'm not sure where this false idea of the deflector dish color being tied directly to the warp nacelles started. The deflector dish changes color independent of warp. In The Motion Picture, they are at impulse, passing Jupiter, and the deflector dish is blue. It changes colors based on power output level, not warp. Now, the impulse crystal, that changes based on warp. The travel pod is a great idea.

[@StuartFoleyCaptainFoley]

Yes I am aware that the blue deflector is anytime its powered up (impulse, orbiting a planet, at warp, whatever). It is only yellow when it's passive or in standby mode. I wasn't implying that it only goes blue when at warp. I should have been more clear about that.

[@MichaelJShaffer]

@StuartFoleyCaptainFoley I wasn't specifically directing it at you. The misconception goes into even the model lighting kits, where it's tied together with the warp nacelles most of the time. If they correct the coloring from that overly extreme blue to more of the correct green and duck egg blue/green tones of the motion picture, I would definitely consider buying this. That stand and unlevel mounting is terrible. They definitely need to fix that, and the nacelles need to be plumb and level. The rear photo shows them very off.

[@TenNoZeorymer72]

1 - Why does the stand have it tilted down instead of having it balanced on the x-y plane? 2 - They should have used like a neon LED strip in the nacelles. I know the FE Masterworks has continuous color. 3 - Because of film quality and remastering, who knows what the true color of the nacelle interior panels when she went to warp. 4 - Are their pictures of Mickey Mouse in some of the windows to make it Abel and Associates accurate? lol

[@inkermoy]

I would think the tilting is a weight issue with the saucer section and hopefully will be fixed. Corgi came out with a small Refit and its saucer section was entirely plastic. Depends on how much value you have on die cast metal.

[@TenNoZeorymer72]

I know the FE Masterworks is $15,500 for the same size, though it doesn't say what the construction material is (just that it is hand crafted and assembled to studio scale movie quality). And their strongback is green.

[@curtissimpkins]

I love to get it but its way too pricy for me to get my friend lol

Hey Cap I agree that the paint finish feels off. Especially when seeing builds from modelers with the Polar Lights 1/350th. Yeah it is a shame about the inboard nacelle grills about not being purple. Hell even the 1701-A in TUC when it shows it at warp after they rescue Kirk and McCoy the inboard nacelle color is blue. I wish I had the ability to light models. I'd build a 1/350th Polar Lights Refit with lights. The storyboards for the Refit for TPM they wanted to do Saucer separation. So if it actually the case that would be awesome. I wish I could get this but way too pricey for me. I don't have my own income so can't get it. Although it would be cheaper for me to get the Polar Lights 1/350th. I'd probably get a 35 inch Enterprise-D.

If it were a different scale maybe larger than 1/350 i would probably get one there's already 1/350 scale models of the Enterprises on the market

Not in diecast..

@@Anth230 I know that 🤷‍♂️ the material doesn't really make a difference to me I'm talking about the size I already built a 1/350 refit why would I want to spend $700 on one of the same scale ...why because it's metal?

[@Anth230]

@@scifiguy26 The fact that it's diecast... yes..plus to build a plastic one with lights and all the details will cost at least $400 not including time spent building it. Also most people just don't have the skills to make it anywhere near where it would need to be.... Also diecast lasts longer than plastic... 😂

I'd like to get one but with a registry other than Enterprise!!

[@TauZer01]

So cool! Do you know if they will ship it to Europe?

[@StuartFoleyCaptainFoley]

No they won't be doing that you would have to contact a 3rd party shipper to get it sent there. It's only the US and apparently Canada this time.
