- I backed this Tomy Kickstarter last year and my Enterprise has finally Arrived! This one is unique as it is Diecast, has Lights and Tomy decided to give us the Emergency Saucer Separation option. 1/350 scale and heavy. Super Cool. Glad I threw in for this one. Post up your comments down below. Did you get one of these? Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Many comments asking where to buy this Enterprise. So I'm going to put up the info I currently have and also pin it to the top of comments:
Tomy Crowdfunded this project last year. With that offering closing July 24, 2022. This was a limited production based on the number ordered by the backers.

*But you may still be able to buy one direct from Tomy via their TOMY Outlet store. Any Excess units that become available will be offered there. If interested, you must Call them to get on the waiting list ASAP! (563) 875-5613.
Other option is via 3rd party resales like on ebay. But they are listing them for 2 to 3 times original cost when I looked.

I don't think my wife would appreciate this on the dining room table as much as I would!
The original Enterprise is still the best looking ship ever to be seen on any series.
Agree 💯 % with you! After that,IMHO the Nx-01.
You have impeccable taste good sir!
I think the Excelsior and the next generation enterprise two of the most attractive. I actually like the voyager as well.
That is the ultimate diecast Enterprise ever made! What a model, what a piece. Absolutely beautiful!
It is a neat one for sure.
i really hope they make one of these for the enterprise D.
Looks incredibly detailed. Unfortunately my wife doesn’t agree that it would make an excellent dining table center piece!
Ask her if you can get your balls back if you promise to be good
@@johnathonmullis4234 She doesn’t have them silly boy, just open your…
NCC-1701. No bloody A, B, C, or D!! Mine arrived a couple of days ago, but I have not had time to break her out yet. Today is the day she sees her new starbase! Thanks for the video!
Awesome
"The Apple" and "The Savage Curtain." You're welcome.
That seems like a deep cut… and amazing news to me about 1701 saucer separation! Now I’m going to have to go back and rewatch TOS for the first time in several years.
In the episode To Boldly Go Pt 2 of Star Trek Continues, the Enterprise's saucer separated from the secondary hull to fight the U.S.S CONGO under the control of Lana, Sentek and about 2 dozen uplifted espers after emerging from the great barrier. Watch the 2nd part of the episode and you'll see what I mean.
Trivia note: although the saucer section could be separated from the engineering section, it was via the use of explosive bolts. They had to have Starfleet Core of Engineers to reattach the two sections.
@@stevenmynes6212Yes. Separating the saucer made it a huge lifeboat.
Very cool 👍🏻👍🏻
I Remember READING THAT IT COULD SEPARATE BUT THEY NEVER SHOWED IT , so it WAS an ORIGINAL CONCEPT Idea.
Awesome kit!
WITH ALL THE LIGHTS PREWIRED!!!WORKING!!!
& INTERNAL SHUTTLEBAY & bridge AWESOME! ID PUT IT ON MY DINING ROOM TABLE but I'm a bachelor after that I'd build a coffee table display setup just for it‼️
My Dad would have been so excited seeing this!!!!!!
Wow! I'd love to see one for the Refitted Enterprise, from STTMP!
Yes! Me too. Hopefully Tomy does that one.
The refit, in my opinion, is unparalleled and unsurpassed in its beauty.
That comes out tomorrow 🤩
I purchased the Enterprise, and the klingon battle cruiser way back in 1971. There was a hobby shop nearby.
This is incredible. I didn't even know it was a thing until now.
That is a beautiful model, thank you for showing it!
Thanks
I love the original series version, but I really hope for the 1701 or 1701-A refit version... with this level of detail it would be gorgeous
Refit would be awesome
yea of course that wont happen
Looks Great! I only have one problem with it. I noticed this on another's TH-cam and see it here also. The orientation of the bridge is wrong. Remember the turbo lift is to the left of the captain. The round part behind the bridge is the turbo lift. Therefore, when the crew is looking at the view screen they are actually looking to the left by about 20 degrees or do not forward center. Someone forgot about that detail.
I was wondering if someone would mention this. What is interesting in the original pilot with Capt Pike, the bridge was oriented straight. The do a camera angle from outside the ship that shows the bridge from the top dome. That bridge also had a window in front. The viewsceen was intended as an enhancement over the real window. Of course we all know the bridge was simply offset from turbo lift doors to allow better camera angle. Many inconsistencies with TOS as they were focused on filming and budget.
They nailed the colors
Absolutely ﹰBeautiful!!!
I think my father would've absolutely loved this. Cause he was a big time Star Trek Original Series & Original Crew fan. He introduced all 5 of us kids into Star Trek & Star Wars. Some like one or the other ,but me personally I sincerely like both.
Thank you for the great comment.
I wish i could afford one. thats so cool. i envy you guys who got one.
Very cool.I love it.And it's like really, shut it off at night.When it's dark I think I'm gonna try to get one of those.Thank you so much for Is sharing
I don’t know how I’ve lived this long without one of those. Sweet die cast
That is just lovely... I never knew about the Kickstarter, I most likely would have gotten one if I had known.
I really wish I had house space for that - I'd go for it in a heartbeat. That is such a good looking model. I've had some of the ATM models in the past, but that's not even comparing apples and oranges.
I love how the Bridge is seen above the center of the saucer section.
Great unboxing and assembly. Looks awesome !.
Just called to get on the wait list. Thanks for the info!
Nice!
Oh Man, that is a beautiful replica and I am green with envy. I am truly happy you have such a beautiful work of art. I'm watching this video, containing my excitement of you opening the box...ok, I f'ing want one but I don't think I'll be taking a loan out anytime soon for such a project. I'll stick with my smaller scaled down versions...plastic and smaller die cast on a stand...hot wheels sized and under a lamp 😁😆 Thanks for this post and again, that is truly a work of art 👍😎
That is awesome. I'd love to see a metal one like that of the Motion picture Enterprise A
Me too! Hopefully they do the refit next.
Really Sweet!!! I’m floored !
I ordered TWO. Just put mine together today after UPS delivered. The year long wait was worth it.
Awesome!
Very cool!
My only concern is that the plastic base and mounting supports seem kinda flimsy for something with that much weight.
If I got my hands on one, I'd probably fabricate a base made out of brass and wood, and retool the attachment points between the saucer and secondary hull to beef them up.
Now if I could only get my hands on some transparent aluminum for the mounting braces, it would be indestructible.
“How do we know he didn’t invent the thing?”
One of my favourite parts of ‘Voyage Home’. James Doohan and DeForest Kelly at their absolute best.
We do need a transparent aluminum base!
If they had an Enterprise D and E version like this I would buy them both as they are my most favorite ships.
That would be cool. Saucer separation for the D would make perfect sense too.
Great video, thanks! Just got my Tomy yesterday and this was the perfect video to prep me for whenever I get around to unboxing the Enterprise.
Much appreciated
I must say it really looks like you could use it in a fan project show. I'm really impressed !JE
Congrats on aquiring the most iconic spaceship model in sci-fi history! She's a beauty!
Much appreciated
Hello my name is Monty Doohan, And I enjoyed your video, I have one of the original Klingon vessel
awesome
Mine is coming today!
My only concern was seeing the extra support for the saucer section. Great to learn it’s not necessary when I am amazing my fellow nerds.
Great video
Beautiful.
Thank you!
That's awesome man.
Thanks!
Awesome mine arrived Saturday October 21 its still in the shipping box will do an unboxing soon looking forward to seeing the diecast Enterprise. I don't have any room to display it going to work on that problem. once again thanks for sharing looks cool have a great day.
Excellent
Mine should be here today!
I have to ask....how much did you pay altogether with shipping?
“ My God ! That’s A Nice Ship ! “
Congratulations! I hope one day they make a 1701 - A of this. That was the enterprise from my childhood. It always captured a magic and beauty that I think you understand. Cheers from Reykjavik, Iceland
Thanks. I hope they do the refit as well.
That's really nice, well done getting it.
much thanks
INSANLY HEAVY! Like when Tomy said "diecast metal model" like many at even smaller sizes but with high detail they are around 60-70% metal but this sucker it mostly metal and I am about to put mine on a scale but I suspect over 15 pounds. Very pleased with the results honestly and kinda surprised about the criticisms. Good investment / purchase.
Yeah i think it around 17 pounds
The shuttle bay detail was the highlight of the video review - very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Much thanks
Man so lucky!!! Still waiting for UPS to deliver today!!! Oh man can't wait!!!
Oh nice. Hopefully it arrives and in good shape.
The engine lights are perfect.
It's BEAUTIFUL!!
I would totally stash stuff in the shuttle bay!🤯🤔🤐🤐👍
That is freaking awesome. I bought the play mobile just before this was released. Wish I would have waited now. Also I was just at River Side Iowa Capt Kirk's future birth place.
Ok, everyone join in...
"Star Destoyer, Star Destroyer, Star Destroyer!!!"
This is absolutely gorgeous. I've had my fair share of top shelf die cast aircraft, can only imagine the awe factor seeing her in person.
I figured that the saucer section would need a support stand of some kind since it is probably top heavy. Thanks for showing this. Was always curious what the finished product would look like. Back in the early 1990s, Star Trek Magazine had an ad for a crowd funded TNG Enterprise-D which was supposed to be made of brass. fully lit and painted. Had a crazy price tag of around 2 grand if I remember correctly. Don't know if the project ever got customers or what had happened to the original offer. I think the FANHOME Build the Enterprise D took over that idea which has to be put together by those who purchased the subscription kit. Awesome model, thanks again for sharing.
I'm currently doing the Fanhome Enterprise D. I actually started it with Eaglemoss before they went bankrupt. It is going to be heavy.
Absolutely gorgeous, every Trekkers dream.
Definately
Wow.. can't wait to get mine! One thing I wish it had was light timers.. I have these dirt cheap amazon led candles that have a remote.. you can turn them on at let say 7:pm and it has a timer for 2/4/6/8 hours... and it will repeat this every night automatically.
That would be nice
I can only remember one of the episodes where the saucer section was referred to as separable from the drive section. "The Apple" is the one I remember. Beams from the surface were very intensely attacking the Enterprise causing it's orbit to decay. Kirk told Scotty to "Discard the saucer and crack out of there with the main section.".
Kirk was throwing out crazy ideas because they needed to get out of there, but the warp driver were offline. He wasn't talking about disconnecting the saucer section, but to shed weight to get the ship out of orbit. I don't think he meant to literally do it, but more 'do anything you need to in order to get the ship out of the decaying orbit'
KIRK: Then use your imagination. Tie every ounce of power the ship has into the impulse engines. Discard the warp drive nacelles if you have to, and crack out of there with the main section, but get that ship out of there!
that's amazing. would love to see them do a Space 1999 Eagle.
That would be cool!
That as to be one of the best ive seen, great video
Much thanks
Wow! Nice😊. What a great model.
Thank you
Fantastic buy. Congratulations.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing. 🖖
You bet. Thanks 🖖
Woah! Paint job is exactly like one in Smithsonian Institute.
I like it! I'd be looking at that all night.
I dig it.
The two episodes talk about nacelle separation, not the saucer from the stardrive. That said even that makes little sense because one of the episodes had an antimatter seal failing, which wouldn't be in the nacelles.
The saucer separation of the D was inspired by episodes from TOS????? Cool!
I love mine. Absolutely incredible.
Awesome!
Amazing. Congrats.
I agree - flipping cool! Love the shuttlecraft bay! Congrats!
thank you
gorgous, now it there was a Refit, mind blown!
I would love this in Refit Flavors!
Refit would be cool. I would grab one of those for sure.
@@TheRealCobraBurnout How much did this thing Cost you? Because I might go for the Enterprise A if they put that out!
@@Shadow200001 It was $599. Free shipping.
@@TheRealCobraBurnout Ok Cool!
"The Apple" and "The Savage Curtain". Although iirc they do not explicitly talk about separating the saucer section, but rather jettisoning the warp drive/waro nacelles. However, the design of the ship makes it obvious that the saucer sections was intended to be capable of operating independently,
Absolutely beautiful man. 👍
Thank you kindly
That thing is way to cool how have I never heard of this model?
Keep an eye on Tomy. They may do other ships in this scale
@@TheRealCobraBurnout oh I definitely will thank you!
Aw man, that's not right.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Looks great.
I built the round 2 model back when it came out and I can see a few things I need to touch up on mine.
Looks amazing. However, the neck section is supposed to detach with the saucer (not stay with the star drive section). It acts as the rear landing leg. On the underside of the saucer in each forward quarter there are two long thin triangles. These are the hatches for the forward landing struts (there is no rear one). At least, that's what the concept art and technical manuals depicted.
I grew up watching the reruns in syndication thru the 70's. Thankfully back in 2016 I had a chance to see the studio model renovated at the air and space museum. The lights are run I believe quarterly to save the light motors in the bussard collectors. Still it looks marvelous.
This here from TOMY is a wonderful piece to have. If I ever have the money for a dedicated room, i'll definitely get this for the showcase work. Enjoy the many hours of fun you'll have with this.
Much thanks
THAT IS AMAZING. Next do the Refit Enterprise or the NCC-1701-A
I got mine last Friday and it is awesome, we’ll worth the investment!
Awesome
Nice 👍 I’d buy one 😎
Incredible! I didn't know that this existed!
Looks amazing!
I shudder to think what it cost though...
It was remarkably inexpensive compared to other replicas of the same size. $500, much less than other offerings at $1200 or $2K by another company back in the day (forget the cost and company--sorry!) It also lit up with moving Bussard collectors, but the motors to move them are loud compared to Tomy's version (assuming from the noise in the video). That version though is significantly lighter than Tomy's and only requires the one thin stand.
I still have to make the pilgrimage to the Smithsonian to see the restored original model. Last time I saw it was in the early 80's and it was hanging from the ceiling looking a little worn.
@@inkermoy wow. $500 is a total steal!
@@jasoncaldwell5627 $600 plus tax and shipping.
I called Tomy's outlet store yesterday 1/29/24 and was able to purchase three Enterprise models for $599 each. I thought they were long gone, but thankfully not yesterday. They'll be here later this week.
Oh that is awesome!
@@TheRealCobraBurnout It shows that if you missed the initial opportunity it's worth a call, you have nothing to lose. I never expected they'd have any in stock. I did ask her if I'd just lucked out. And she said, yeah, things happen from time to time and the difference is that you actually called to enquire. She said, most people never even bother to call and ask. I just called on the right day, which is blind luck. But if anyone missed the boat, call them you never know.
I think this is the best way to own the 1/350 scale TOS Enterprise, I was going to do the Polar Light build but I decided not to, I could never paint and light the ship this good, so I think I will just do as you did here and purchase this Version, I did build the 1/350 Re-fit and that alone took me a year plus, to accomplish and still half my lighting still does not work, but it's all sealed up and painted so I mostly display as a Static model, but this Model would look great next to my Re-Fit, so I will look this up, I'm sure it's not cheap, but hell all the work is done for you, specially since I'm a horrible model builder,
Cool 👍👌
I have a smaller model from a store that no longer exists.
🖖
CONGRATULATIONS! It is BEAUTIFUL! 🙂
"That will never get chicks.. I like that."
-Garth Brooks
Gorgeous, heavy, and pricy!
Definitely. Lol
Nice🖖
Thanks 🔥
it's a dream of our 10 years old
I fell in love. Thanks. ❤.
Awesome
I think about this puppy a lot. I had a spot on the waiting list from Tomy, but didn't have the funds available anymore when my turn came up. Thankfully I was able to buy a USS Enterprise tree topper from a local Hallmark for 50% off to soften the blow. It may be half the size, but just 1/8th the price of this one.
I like that tree topper. You did good getting it at 50% off!
I had no idea this was made till today! I def would have paid the asking $500 for it!
The Apple discussed source of separation. And then the savage curtain discussed the separation of the warp nessels
Great unboxing video! Beautiful replica.
Thank you 😊
Dude, that thing is bad-ass !!! 😎👍
Much thanks
Wow, that's legit! Hope they make one of the refit and the D
Wow!...that thing is really cool . 🖖
All you need now is some phasers and photon torpedoes, and this will be the ultimate model!
That would have been a nice feature.
In TOS, the saucer section could detach in an emergency, but my understanding is that it could not re-attach itself like the Enterprise-D. Please note that they never went into that much detail in TOS, so I could be wrong.
Great video!
Thanks!
