Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

[Markonian]

Yeah, I looked through it and I appear to have them all now that I ordered the BoP Landing. I just didn't see or hear about that one at all. I wish that Eaglemoss would send an email out to subscribers when one of these "exclusives" popup.

I receive emails from Hero Collector on nearly a daily basis, but weekly most of the time. They always announce bonus issues, e.g. the upcoming USS Bonaventure and USS Enterprise-F.
Perhaps your email address in their records is incorrect? Or can you sign up on the website for the newsletter?

So, apparently the countdown for availability to Canadians is being pushed back to tomorrow, because the countdown is back on the US site. Geez.

I also wonder if the tariff situation is going to affect this.

I didn't think there were many, if any, tariffs against Canada. Trudeau didn't piss Trump off nearly as much as the Chinese and Iranians have!

Well, there were a few. I've mentioned this before, but I got a refit Enterprise and a Delta Flyer from an eBay seller in California this summer. I got a nasty surprise when the postal worker asked for another $20+ (CDN) upon delivery. I've been hesitant to buy anything from the US ever since.

Got shipping notices last night (US) for
XL Enterprise C and
Shuttle Set 4

Also looks like the next Discovery Subscription charge is pending on my credit card, so I’m assuming the Buran is shipping soon.

Since all of this & the Glenn I bought are all on one credit card cycle I’m glad that I pay that bill ! My wife knows of my ship addiction but this month has added up,

Notices on Memory Alpha that they had V'Ger, Planet Killer and the Scimitar listed as Special issues. Have theses been officially announced? It was the first I had heard of them being produced.

They were announced at the DST convention last month.

Preordered the XL Discoprise. DST18 does not work anymore but Facebook15 does. Hope the model arrives before Xmas.

jealous! it's looking less and less likely we'll be getting her here in the US before 2019.

i got US shipping notification for the buran on wednesday, but no notice about the shuttles, despite preordering them right away. my enthusiasm is also for the shuttles over the buran, so of course it would work out that way.

So the 4th shuttle set arrived today and they're really very nice, as always. Always surprised how small they are compared to the main ship line. So, too, are the accompanying magazines. Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Eaglemoss will make a small-size binder available for the shuttle mags, akin to the binder used for the Disco ships?

I guess that also begs the question if BSG binders will also be made as they, too, have small mags. Never heard anything anywhere about it and wonder if Ben may have mentioned something on his Twitter feed or HeroCollector, maybe.

Standard Arctic One and Borg Scoutship also arrived. Excellent models! Honestly surprised the Borgified A-1 came out long before this one did, but better late than never, in any case.

The question about small mag binders for BSG came up at the DST convention but I don’t think it’s coming soon.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Drat!

 

[Doom Shepherd]

Wait, there’s a small binder for Disco ships now?

 

[Markonian]

Yes, it was a subscriber gift. I got it with the first or second delivery (UK).

 

[137th Gebirg]

Yep, US too.

 

[Doom Shepherd]

Well, crap. Not a subscriber, only want the Fed ships. Guess I’ll have to hope it shows up in the store.

Or maybe somebody is selling it on eBay?

I look forward to your stories about logging onto your browser, clicking on your order and waiting for your delivery appears.

The Buran arrived today, and my IOU for the Discovery Plaque. I haven't had the chance to open it yet and check out the model because it's been a busy day. I also made a stop at best buy and picked up season 1 of Discovery and The Meg in 3D, so those are also sitting on the counter waiting for a gander.

Despite my avatar, I must sadly report that I have not yet purchased any of the BSG Eaglemoss models. Between the purchases I made today and other expenses, I have not yet been able to pick up a few of these. I really want the Galactica and Pegasus. Some Vipers, Raptors, and Raiders would be nice too, but I would be perfectly content with just the two Battlestars. Anyone else pick any of these models up yet and have any thoughts?

I still have some of the diecast Titanium series ships that were released back when BSG was on. In addition to the above ships I mentioned on my BSG wish list, the titanium series line also released a Colonial One model which I have. Sadly, I lost my MK II Viper a long time ago, or rather, my young nephew did. I can't be mad at the kid, but I do rib him every now and again for it. It never gets old.

Christmas if right around the corner. I'm thinking about asking my family for a few of these models. I figure the holidays are a great way to get ships without actually having to pay for them myself.

XL Enterprise C and shuttle set 4 came Saturday. I had to request a replacement for the C due to a paint error on the port nacelle. Sent an email to Eaglemoss on Saturday about it & they stated they’ve resshipped the item yesterday. Haven’t opened the shuttles yet.
