Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

it started shipping in the UK yesterday according to someone on the facebook group.

 

I have a pending charge for it on my credit card so I expect it will start shipping in the US within the next few days as well.

 

just in time for me to go on xmas vacation and have it sitting on my doorstep for a week!

 

I don't have mine yet, not even a shipping notification or delivery email from DPD, it has been received by some in the "Facebook Group" and it's a real beauty.

 

I saw a couple pictures on Facebook, and there is an error on the colouring of the model. They forgot to colour the rear of the nacelles, so they're white instead of black/dark grey.

 

a little annoying but not the worst mistake they could've made.

 

To be authentically Discovery, they should have sent out the wrong Enterprise.

 

I have a supply of Sharpies.

 

Sharpies FTW!

They having saving my custom trek models for a long time now!

 

your mileage may vary.

 

Ah, the golf ball has finally arrived! Looks pretty good, actually.

And the paint scheme on that new Klingon ship...looks like Disneyland vomited all over it... I SO cannot wait for the ret-ret-con of Season 2 to begin to fix Fuller's dumbass design choices on those guys.

 

yeah, the saturation on the qoj class is turned way up in that image. here's a natural color image from hero collector a few months ago:

not much better, but better.

 

Well there's another two issues of the regular line I won't be getting! Thanks for saving me £££ Eaglemoss!

It's a shame though as in my town there's two shops that have always sold these- a WHSmith and an independent newsagents. I get the feeling at least one if not both may stop stocking these soon as I haven't bought one in ages and won't be for a while either. I see each issue now in the window unsold quite a lot as I walk past now & again. There must be someone else in town buying them occassionally, but they must be a cherry picker too like me.
Fingers crossed for the Spacedock to appear tomorrow, but #140 The Federation Tug, which is also out tomorrow, I'll be giving another miss to.

It's also surprising that after 140 the Tug, the next 7 known models are all alien ships. No Starfleet/Federation at all.

 

Clearly they got caught up in Holi.

 

fyi XL discovery enterprise and spacedock are on sale for happy hour: https://shop.eaglemoss.com/usa/HAPPY-HOUR

 

the Enterprise and Spacedock are probably my next purchases, but not now, even 10% off the Enterprise is $115 CAD

 

I just got shpping notification for the Discovery XL Enterprise that I preordered weeks ago. Probably won't have it before Christmas, and only the label has been printed so far. I checked the other day, and didn't see it on the website anymore. I almost panicked, but glad I didn't.

 

For those who get the Enterprise, could you post any interesting info from the book over here?

ouch.

i ended up buying spacedock and trying to cancel my enterprise preorder and buy it at the reduced sale price only to find out my enterprise is already on its way... which is good but eaglemoss should really guarantee best price for those of us who preorder.

did anyone else take advantage of the sale?

 

Ten bucks the Qoj-ship will end up having the same issue that the top of the ship will be exactly(!) identical to the bottom:
