That's great, I'd love to see many of those. The problem there is the availablity of CGI models - isn't that why we've seen loads of obscure Enterprise and Voyager ships, but relatively few TNG ships of the week?

Spacedock and Regula 1 are surely nailed on for future specials. With K7 and DS9 done, they are the next logical stations.

Regula 1 or Starbase 375? I'd rather drop the "ice bauble" stick and get an overall larger model.

Since Starbase 375 is basically just Regula 1 without the "tanks", perhaps they could be detachable?

That would be a first.

Yeah, that's the one. Thank you! Some really good suggestions on that site. Helps remembering some of the more obscure but nevertheless cool ships.

The Scimitar, Groumall, Alien ship from “Night”, Bajoran interceptor, Karemma ship, SS Lakul and USS Newton from Star Trek (2009) would be awesome models to own.

Almost all the models made from Enterprise CGI ships have been really good thus far. So all of those would be very nice: Shroomie ship, Orion Devna-Lev, Wisps' ship, Arctic One (before Borgification), Triannon vessel, SS Conestoga, Xindi Primate Cruiser, SS Emmette, Malurian Starship, Tellarite Cruiser, Xindi weapon, Vissian Stratopod.

And then there are the huge and/or very complicated ships, that we might never see, but would be really awesome: Narada, V'ger, Crystalline Entity, Planet Killer, Earth spacedock, Caretaker array, Fesarius, Regula I, Relay Station 47.

Where are we up to in the U.K.? I have a horrible feeling that I am simply having ships vanish in the post this last month or so...has the Franklin happened? I seem to have more payment receipt emails than deliveries for last three months...things have been a bit...disorganised for me....which issue are we on? 100?

Franklin doesn't appear to be on the Eaglemoss store anymore. Doesn't bode well.

It's on there but out of stock. It's been like that for a week or two. I think I'm just going to give up on them getting the specials to me right, and have ordered the Franklin through another online vendor. If I happen to get the email they're shipping, I'm just going to call & cancel. Since I've never gotten an email about the previous special (Jellyfish) I think if I wait for Eaglemoss it might be a long time.

Both #102 the Klingon D5 and the Swarm ship special were out in UK shops last week

Why the Emmette? The CGI is unfinished and was reborn as Warp Delta anyway?

Because I really dig that rear with all those exhaust ports. It's a cool design and somewhat iconic, since we saw it each week during Enterprise's run.

I also think the Emmette looks better than the Warp Delta.

Isn't it time they updated the list past 115? What with ships in the low 100's having been released already? Seems to me that they traditionally had at least a 15-ship gap between what's been announced and what's been released.

 

[Ethros]

They only announced as far as they did remember because someone from Eaglemoss fucked up and properly answered someone's question on the Facebook page (IIRC) when they asked what was coming up. Before that they only use to announce them in batches of 5 every few months. That list they gave out included like 10+ we hadn't heard about before, so it may be a little while still before we get any more updates.

 

[Markonian]

We basically have been knowing the lineup until January 2018 since circa January/February 2017 thanks to the Facebook incident.

 

[137th Gebirg]

"Facebook incident"?

 

[Ethros]

^ I just mentioned it like two posts up

 

[137th Gebirg]

Ah...missed that, thank you...

News (unless somebody posted it already, in which case, apologies):

USS Enterprise-E (Special #14, Jumbo) is due out 29 October 2017. Retail price £49.99. Link: https://forbiddenplanet.com/225418-star-trek-starships-special-14-enterprise-large/

USS Titan (Special #15) is up for pre-order on Forbidden Planet, retail price £10.99 *. Due out... also 29 October 2017? Link: https://forbiddenplanet.com/225419-star-trek-starships-special-15-uss-titan/

Special #16 is K-7, and the image includes a top view. Due out 03 December 2017, for 23.99. Link: https://forbiddenplanet.com/228402-star-trek-starships-special-16-deep-space-station-k-7/

* This implies it's regular-sized, unlike the Special and Jumbo ranges.

Nice, I'll probably get all those. Although I may get it eventually I'm in no huge rush to get the Jumbo D, whereas due to the small size (due to its length) of the original E model, the larger scale one is definitely a must buy
