I wish these were like the specials where they both emailed you, letting you know they were coming out, and auto shipped them to you. And they should do the plaques this way.
I had no idea this one was out before it was sold out.

Worked out of the 80 issues released so far I now have 52, plus 2 specials and the Mirror NX-01. And to say to begin with I only wanted a couple...
29 here, and most of them I was never planning on getting either. Resistance is futile, you will collect!
Thanks, but the store I ordered it from already ordered one off eBay.
30 now. I finally got around to opening my Breen Warship (that was my 29th ship) - and she is a real beauty, very intricate indeed - and I picked up the Federation Scoutship today from Forbidden Planet. Next up is the Xindi Reptilian in 2 weeks, which I was rather on the wall about until I saw some of the reviews for it - the shape is just beautiful!
Agreed - many of the alien ships from Enterprise and DS9 had an elegance and inventiveness of design not seen in other shows. Voyager had some good ones, but I think they got really tired coming up with a new one every week and started recycling models.
We have Neelix's ship coming up soon, though. Ugh... If I wasn't a type-a completist I would have zero interest in that boxey P.O.S., owned by a character who, IMO, was the least appealing of the entire series. His jealous hissy-fits over Kes really put me off his character quite early on and never recovered.

Don't be so hasty. Judging from photos, I thought the colors of the Breen ship looked like a kid's toy, but it looks great up close.

33 for me so far, with a Sabre on the way to make it 34.
I started with getting the J'H battle cruiser off eBay, just because Micro Machines never made that one, and it snowballed from there!

I also have the D'Kyr on the way, and it depends on whether the staff at Eaglemoss have any clue or not as to whether the Oberth is also on it's way or on backorder for me (but I ordered it in the new website sale, so even if it is on backorder, I got it at 15% off - plus a further 5% because I signed up to their newsletter ).
I don't know, I've had a look at some images online of the Xindi Reptilian ship, and this looks quite similar to the colour of the Eaglemoss model. I've seen some images of the orthographic schematics of the ship from the magazine on another forum, and it looked way too dark compared with some of the images from the show itself (particularly the one I've linked to).
That said, I don't know where some people have got this notion that there is a dark ring on the underside of the Excelsior's saucer. I've watched both the Search For Spock and The Undiscovered Country recently, and looked online at images of the Excelsior from the movies, and the recessed ring on the ventral side of the saucer is most definitely not dark blue like many people have claimed it is, so the Eaglemoss Excelsior model is correct to not have it be dark blue. It might be ever so slightly darker, but only ever so slightly, and that might even just be an effect of the light and shadows.

Eaglemoss did a live broadcast of a panel at Star Trek Mission New York and there was a lot of new info.
- Series extended to 130 and this probably means the Wolf 359 fleet will be made
- Saratoga, Medusan, Suliban Cell Ship, ECS Horizon and Kyushu are issues 91-95
- Titan and the Aventine will be made
- Another shuttle set of TNG type 7, TNG type 15, Star Trek VI executive shuttle and NX shuttle pod. Third set possible.
- Next specials are Franklin, Kralls ship,09 Klingon Battleship and K7. Jellyfish at some point.
- McQuarrie Enterprise will be made
- Can't discuss Discovery
- More plaques being made
- Nothing planned from Animated Series
- SS Yorktown NCC-1717 con exclusive possibly for subscribers as well ?
I believe the JJ-verse Klingon ship is called a "Klingon warbird" (which, I think, as a term, fits as nicely with them as it does with the Romulans).
Unfortunately, again, none of the ships from my wish list made the announcement, but I'm still hopeful (although I worry that the Star Trek VI shuttle means they might not make the Jenolan, which is high on my wishlist).
Perhaps "Discovery" will help boost sales, which, of course would mean more issues, perhaps even some more re-releases of the earlier issues, many of which I still don't have.
I'm stoked with the update, there are quite a few I definitely want from the expansion.
Saratoga (Yeah it's a variant, but an important one in my opinion), Titan, Aventine (I never really thought they'd do it), Jellyfish, Klingon warbird, Franklin, all four of the shuttles (damn, was hoping for a Trek 5 shuttle), and K-7...they will be mine.

WOW... up to issue #130 now plus more specials, shuttles and plaques! I'm going to have to find more shelf space!!
I hope they do something as well for all of us that have been subscribers this whole time and supported this wonderful line. I'm excited that station K-7, Titan, and Aventine are now confirmed and we'll have them in the collection.

Well he said he wants to do it and with 35 still unannounced ships plus more specials it would seem likely. Since the refit NX-01 was made I see that as a distinct possibility.
V'ger? 
I saw an article elsewhere that says they would maybe do the Phase II Enterprise as part of the 130.
