Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Has anyone in the US received the Dedication plaque? I though it was supposed to come with the Defiant and Excellsior?

 

Oh yes. Got it quite some time ago. It's quite nice...

 

I have to say I'm kinda disappointed by Eaglemoss with a recent issue I had with them.

When I got my shipment with the Bajoran Solar Sailor and the Stargazer back in November the Bajoran ship was broken in shipping (I'm guessing this is pretty common for this ship). I emailed them and they sent me a new one. However I didn't get my normal shipment in December. My shipment usually comes around the 20th-25th so I figured it was delayed because of Christmas.

A couple of days ago I get an email that they are shipping the Temporal Weapon Ship and the Nebula class ship. I look through my emails and see I never got a notification that they shipped out the Klingon Attack Cruiser and Enterprise E. The shipment day also changed to around the same time the replacement ship got shipped out. It seems like they replaced my normal shipment with the replacement shipment.

I emailed them about the situation 2 days ago and haven't received a response yet.

 

I wonder when the Vengeance will get its US release?

 

Just received my NX-01 model. Must say that it's amazing, perfect for adorning one of my bedside tables!

I was vaguely amused by this article: http://comicsalliance.com/diamonds-2014-sales-report-eaglemoss-prodctions/

 

I did finally get an email from Eaglemoss on Friday, they said the Klingon Attack Cruiser and Enterprise E were temporary out of stock and would still be sent to me. Seems kinda fishy that they would replace my regular shipment with a replacement shipment but whatever at least I'll hopefully get them soon.

 

Apparently Germany is getting shuttle models along with their free subscriber gifts. Hopefully they figure a way to get those to subscribers elsewhere in the world too.

I hope so too. But I get they feeling they won't. Annoying.

 

I
WANT
THOSE
SHUTTLES!

If they don't announce those shuttles w/other territories soon, I'm going to start a petition or something...

 

They will probably make the shuttles a special issue (or two) for people in other countries.

 

Those are nice shuttle models. I do hope they're available in other countries, but I fear it will be like the exclusive Japanese Borg Cube that is a very rare thing to find these days. There is a mention of "Exklusives Angebot Nur Für Abonnenten" in that picture, translated to "Exclusive offer only for subscribers", which makes me think we likely won't see them outside eBay.

 

I thought the Japanese release hadn't happened yet?

Those shuttle look pretty sweet, I'd like to think the demand for them would be great enough for a global release.

Edit: I see that happened in may.

 

Yeah, I saw a few cubes on eBay pricing in the hundreds. There were different types, too. One looked like the original TNG "Q, Who?" style (maybe that was a UK version?), and another looked more like the First Contact/Voyager version with larger plate armor. Big bastards, too. Really wish they would show up here...

 

Just wondering as well if anyone from Australia has received their December delivery yet?

 

Issues 20 & 21 were due to be released last week. Still no arrival as of yet.

Furthermore, word from STSS from another website seems to indicate that only Germany and France will be receiving the shuttles. There are currently no plans to release it to other countries, which to be honest, is a total rip.

 

You said it yourself, there are currently no plans. In other words, they're testing the waters on this and roll it out if it's a success which is a perfectly logical approach.
