Welcome to Captain Foley’s personal channel.
While Trekyards is my main channel this one is for non Star Trek related content such as Transformers, Swords, Sherlock Holmes, G.I.JOE, 80's nostalgia, toys, unboxings, game plays, VR or any other of the multitude of interests I have to share. As well as bonus Trekyards footage such as alternate edits of my Captains Logs as well as bloopers and other great stuff.
I just share my passions here and I hope you enjoy the content.

Honestly, I'm going to buy it.
Tomlak got his wish.
TOMY promised that all the issues identified with the 1:350 TOS die cast would be "fixed". They didn't. The refit has MANY more nuances to its look than the TOS Ent. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice?....you know where the shame goes that time. I heard the word "hopefully" far too many times in this video.
Why is it tilted forward slightly on the base?!? If that's non-adjustable then that alone would be a hard no for me! WHY?!?
No of course its not you can buy a reasonablly servicable second hand car for what that cost.
I read the prototype is all plastic. I wonder if the Die-Cast final will look the same.
I'm glad I got the TOS version and now I look forward to getting this one!
Sorry for that kind of money I gotta take a hard pass. With my current situation needing to save as much money as I can to purchase my truck off lease, then put new tires on it I just can’t justify spending 700 bucks on something like that. Sure I love the refit 1701 but lack of space and other mentioned expenses put this squarely out of my price range
Will the shuttle bay be opened to see the beautiful details inside?
I thought there were holes in your shirt. Your skin is exactly the same colour as the bussard collectors.
Any idea how to get one of these in the UK?
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.
Is the Model prebuilt? Or is it supposed to be built by the purchaser?
😂🤣😆❤
I was hoping for a 350th Reliant (-: this looks good tho
I noticed the large seam on the primary hull top; could that possibly be removable to show an enlarged bridge underneath. Similar to the 25th anniversary diecast from the early 90’s.
It mentions that the quotes are from satisfied customers of the original series enterprise
Here we go again! I’m beside myself trying to understand why Tomy would put themselves through all the BS again.
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.
Yeah... I'll just stick with my Art Asylum / Joyride Studio plastic model that was only $60. The Waitlist doesn't even tell you the price! So I probably can't afford it. 🫤
The price is $700 USD. I mentioned it a few times in the video.
I freakin' hate that tilt forward display posture. Who was the @$%* who decided that was a good idea?
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.
Thanks for the information. This is the first I have heard of this. I got the first one and I want the refit also. I do have a question if you don't mind, what is the screensaver running on your computers in the background ?
The warp sled was my first model after TMP came out. I loved that thing. ... and totally geeking over your Bubo :)
Did a complete video on him.
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.
Just to let you know People living in the UK can't get this But if you can get it on UK pls let me know
They say it will have no visible nuts or bolts. Hopefully meaning no screw covers.
I hope they change the buttons on the base. Maybe more subtle. Or make them delta shaped.
What does the Fire Control button do? Light up the torpedo bays?!? Sound effects?!?
Not sure yet.
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!!
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.
🐕👣🐕🖖
Once they hit eBay, forget it.
I hate the stand, otherwise I would love this but I just don’t have the space
Wrath of Khan Special sounds great!
I hope I can get that ship from Australia
This really should be TWOK Enterprise instead of TMP.
Nah. It debuted in TMP. So it's best to keep it as the first refit...
If it is fullfilling for you, go for it!
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.
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.
They reached out to me as well. Didn’t use any of mine though. 😜 Congrats man.
Someone commented that the bay will be open and detailed! If that’s true that would be great 😊Great review, Subscribed
Thanks for the sub! Hope you enjoy the content.
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.
Will buy two like before.
Will the Refit saucer section have the flood lighting for the Name and registry on the top and bottom? i didn't see any thing that displayed those features.
Great question. Still waiting to hear more.
@@StuartFoleyCaptainFoley I hope thjey information for all that. would be sad to not have those features.
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...
Thanks and hopefully TOMY is watching your videos so that they fold in some changes (as the website says that what they are showing is a "beta" and subject to change.
Worth it? Take my money, please!
Refit and K't'inga.....my two favorite ships from the whole of the Star Trek universe.
Go for Enterprise E and then end on 2 for 1 Wraith of Khan Special
I want the Drydock too!
