Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Okay. Got the November shipment in the mail (Nausicaan Fighter & Jem'hadar Fighter), but still no sign of the AGT Enterprise-D.

Wasn't it supposed to come to US subscribers in October?

I'm gonna have to shoot of another email...

 

The Jem'Hadar bug is way, way too gray. It's really off in color. I thought the Cardassian Galor being too brown was bad, but this is... yikes.

 

Those nacelles look like they need a circumcision.

 

Just a few quick questions,what issue are do u currently have and are u planning on getting any single ship in the collection?.im getting the Dauntless(issue 17) in a few days and I'm thinking of stopping the collection after issue 21(enterprise-E)then maybe get the ones I want like the deltaflyer and the runabout etc(I'm already doing with the the dr who figurines collection)

 

I've been considering doing this for a few months now. Like you, my original thought was to end at the E-E, but I ended up keeping the subscription and just received issues 29/30.

My thinking behind cancelling is due to running out of space, cutting costs, and the fact that we're getting into the more obscure ships. On the other hand, these are unique ships that haven't been produced before, so it's nice to be able to add them to the collection.

Looking forward from issue 31 to 55, it seems like with every shipment I'd be interested in at least one of the ships. It might not be much of a savings to cancel the subscription in that case, due to the ships costing slightly more individually plus having to pay shipping and the longer wait time.

 

I'm going to keep going through issue #50. I want to get ALL the Enterprises. Yes, even the original, even though i have about 12 other models of that one; just for the sake of completeness. I'll evaluate what I do after that. I'm not that interested in every shuttle variant, Delta quadrant ship of the week or novel/fan ship, if that's the course they take.

BTW, are Americans going to finally get the AGT Enterprise this month?

 

God I hope so! Been far too long overdue. Still wondering how to handle the Borg Cube switcheroo when the time comes...

And I'm in it all the way to the end.

 

thanks!

 

Just received a shipping notice that the FUTURE ENTERPRISE D-SHIP GIFT is included with my shipment.

 

Which shipment is that? I just got mine with the Jem Bug and Nausicaan fighter and it wasn't in there. Are you in the UK?

 

I am in Texas. Shipment info below

Indeed! Where is mine, damnit!

 

How did you get to shipments 23 & 24? My next shipment is 22 & 23. I won't get the Xindi ship until next month and then I suppose I should also receive the Future Ent?

 

What's weirder is I just got shipments 29 & 30 yesterday, I'm in Virginia, and I still haven't gotten the AGT E-D, while others elsewhere in the 'States are behind many of us in the issue count but getting it before anyone else. Really scratching my head on this one...

 

Same story here. I got issues 29/30 last week but I'm yet to see or hear anything about the AGT E-D (other than the email a few months about it being sent in October)

 

I guess my question is (besides the future E-D shipping) why does everyone else seem to be getting odd/even shipments, such as issues 23/24 or 29/30, while mine are even/odd shipments like my last one issues 20/21? It seems I'm behind on a ship somewhere but have everyone up to the Enterprise E.

 

At least in the US. We started with 1 and 2. Thus we are on a cycle of getting an odd then an even number.

I have heard some places released 1, then the next month 2 and 3, thus with a monthly even odd.

 

And I got the ugly All Good things Enterprise last month with the Maquis Raider and 22nd Century Roman War Bird.

And I am probably in this collection for the long hall.

I would certainly take designs like Sisko's Saratoga, and the Bozeman, for examples of Miranda knock offs.

But will probably ball if they start really hitting ships outside of Trek tv and film. I know the NX-01 refit is being done, and I am not happy about that, but as long as its exceptionally rare I can live with it. Starts being common place then I am done.

But if we get to to say 100 plus, they better start doing some of the shuttles and Stations (seriously want some darn Stations!!).

 

Agreed. Would love a Spacedock and Regula 1 to add to the collection.

 

Besides the refit what other (popular) ships are there for them to use? I can't imagine CBS being cool with novel/fan made ships being used in the official collection.
