Did you submit a claim to them?

I didn't even know you could do that. It's more my time, disassembling and putting back together, parts were chump change.

Yea, I hear you. I have just repaired/tossed what they screwed up too.

Only two weeks since the drive finished, and they've already re-adjusted the delivery estimate from summer to fall.

From the beginning of fall through the entire month of October is the absolute worst time of the year for me to be receiving packages- especially anything this large.

I'm on the road that whole time and no one will be here to take receipt.

You can always have it held for pickup or get a second delivery location like Staples or something. Not sure how long they will hold it though.

It’s odd, but I noticed earlier this week that this is available for preorder from a local Australian retailer.

Maybe they ordered a few to sell. AFAIK they were not going to sell these other than the kickstarter number, right?

I also got a poll email from Tomy asking my opinion about which ship should be next. It was the refit, which was expected already, as well as Enterprise D, Strange Worlds Enterprise, and a TOS Klingon Battle cruiser. They apparently are also considering doing them as smaller ships which I didn't vote for, we have plenty of options there.

I have no idea. But as this was supposedly only for the US, I just found it odd.

I actually preordered this, even though the original series isn't my cup of tea. I prefer the later iterations. I even like Discovery (I know blasphemy), but many of the complaints about it imo are pretty much present in every series post TNG (which was my first exposure to the franchise, but I still have alot of trouble getting through the first two seasons of that show on my rewatches every handful of years). Not that I would ever want the Discovery, as I've never liked how the ship looks when static.

I would love nearly every other ship, in order from the Galaxy class, Sovereign, Archer's Enterprise, Voyager, and maybe even the Defiant as I always liked that little ship.

I got that survey, I really do not want them to leave TOS yet, I put that Klingon D7 first. Once they move on from TOS I'm sure they won't go back for a long time or ever. Was hoping for a TOS Galileo shuttlecraft. But c'est la vie. And there is a good kit for that now.

Nice that they're gauging interest in TNG as I'm sure some people would have voted for the D. Hopefully that will be next after the refit
