It slots into peg holes in the base, and obviously the other side of the base is completely flush.

I’m not sure, all of us should have realised it, but maybe a fair chunk of the people on the RPF forum should have I think. And now it looks like they’re starting to cancel in droves. My original concern at the time was how were they going to meet expectations, especially when they only reached...

Is that their original styrene prototype or is it a diecast one?

Probably not much worse than some of Sideshow’s livestreams.

It‘s being talked about by a couple of members in the RPF, that getting rid of the seams were a no go from day one. That it was near impossible because of it being made out of diecast materials to fill in the gaps. And anything that is usually used by modellers would over time deteriorate and...

I now wonder if it weren't for the photos provided by a couple of Australian collectors, would Tomy ever have put out that statement. Did it force them to put out a statement or was it already planned, but we preempted them? In either case, I doubt they're happy that units delivered outside of...

I don't know anything about weight tolerances, but I honestly wouldn't trust that the two plastic pegs on the translucent strut that insert into secondary hull will hold the significant weight of the ship. Though there is a single screw/bolt that connects the two, but it's my guess it'll be too...

And keep in mind that for that price, the length for that piece is 29" versus the 34" for this Tomy original Enterprise! Though of course the Galaxy class is still 6" wider.

I agree. It‘s just that people are understandably upset that Tomy didn’t keep their repeatedly mentioned promises. I‘m not surprised with the outcome, but I wish they could’ve at least tried to get rid of the seams. Rather than not do anything at all. But then again, at least it has plugs to...

I never watched Clone Wars, and I thoroughly enjoyed Rebels as it stands on its own. I wouldn’t say you totally need to watch Rebels to enjoy Ahsoka, but you don’t automatically incorporate the emotional reasons behind many of Sabine’s actions etc.

Probably due to the falling Aussie dollar, both this and Ghost went up for about $1,000 AUD. But I didn’t end up preordering it, primarily because I didn’t have the space. As I knew this was incoming. And about a week ago it disappeared from my local Zing store, as I was planning on waiting...

Very true. While I wouldn’t want it to be twice the size, I think I would like for it to be a bit bigger at least.

Given what $450 gives us nowadays, I’m not sure how realistic that is. I would’ve paid double, maybe even triple to get the promised result. I already thought it was bargain bin level pricing. And now I know why.

Given the sheer size of the Enterprise D, I have no idea how they’ll achieve that in diecast. At least not in the same scale.

And better yet, my photos don’t do it justice. Not just the physical ship, but the light ups definitely look cleaner and pop more in person.

I‘m not totally sure about the bussards. I’ll double check when I get home. But the rotary that’s moving within are definitely quite noticeable. For $600 USD, I still think it’s still well worth it. Just compare what you get from those Haslab releases. I think The Ghost from SW Rebels/Ahsoka is...
