I would very much like to hear of this TOS 1/350 scale USS Enterprise NCC-1701 ship model project still has life in it, and when it might be released? I am so much looking forward to it, please don’t let it die!

I have a suggestion to aid in your earnings exploration. Start taking advance orders. (Please, take my money!) If the sale of prior models has given you concern for this venture’s profitability, it shouldn’t. I don’t think you can compare this venture with anything from your (or any other company’s) past. This is the “Holy Grail.” This is the model I wanted when I purchased my first scale model (the 18″ Enterprise) in the early 70′s. This will be the first model kit I’ll have purchased in nearly twenty years.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to all these comments. I’m sure you have better things to do than listen to us whimper “please, please, please…” over and over again!

Thank you for the update sir.
Maybe adding a light kit or a spinning nacelle light kit wouldn’t be a bad idea?

Nothing definite worth reporting. It definitely won’t be early 2011. We are exploring a few ideas to make the kit earn back its tooling investment quickly when the product hits the market.

In a recent issue of Fine Scale Modeler, the results of this year’s most-wanted kits poll ranked the 1/350 scale TOS Enterprise as one of the top most-wanted sci-fi kits (again).

I sincerely hope that the ‘powers that be’ at Round 2 took notice, and that the project is still moving forward for a 2011 release.

Any news to report?

I’m sure that there are thousands of modelers in addition to myself who passionate about the release of this kit, and are anxiously awaiting any tidbit of information about the project. We’re just afraid that if it doesn’t happen now, it may never happen.

If the decision-makers at Round 2 are concerned about potential sales numbers with this kit – don’t be. There are plenty of us out there that will make certain that this kit is an absolute success and top-seller for the company. Just make sure to make large enough runs to keep up with the demand!

Also like most of Round 2′s models, will this 1/350 tos enterprise continue to be made indefinetly, or will it be a limited run.
Thanks

Hi,
Are the windows going to be cut out, or pop out able like election chads? That would be real helpful. Is there a way to pre-order it. Does Round 2 have any idea when the release will be in 2011? Will it be in 2011?
Thanks

I sincerely hope that this kit is still in production and on schedule for an early 2011 release. This has been my “grail” kit for over forty years, now.

I currently have plans that would require at least four cases of these kits in order to satisfy.
