I wonder/hope if we still get pre-ST: Discovery ships as Bonus Editions of the original ST ships collection, or as part of the newly expanded Star Trek Universe collection? Rewatching VOY, there's plenty of cool, CGI-based ships that haven't been touched yet.

XL Edition La Sirena for $74.99,

The last few XL models and this all seem so boring to me... I'd love to see more classic ships like the Nebula and Oberth class, or another First Contact ship.

Big oof here, the special issue USS Shenzhou has the Terran Empire decals on the nacelles

That looks like a great BoP for the TMP era.

 

[Tuskin38]

91.5 Meters long though, that doesn't seem right, the TOS one is 131 meters long IIRC.

Maybe they accidentally switched around length and width.

 

[Dukhat]

I’m not quite sure where Eaglemoss has been getting their ship lengths lately.

They get them from the cgi models they are provided

Their numbers come from CBS. At least for the new designs.

I think you misunderstood my sarcasm. I don’t agree with the lengths that EM has been giving to some of the ships.

 

[thribs]

These Dark Universe ships all have weird lengths. They even made the Enterprise way bigger than it’s actually supposed to be

 

[Tuskin38]

I think you misunderstood my sarcasm. I don’t agree with the lengths that EM has been giving to some of the ships.

Well EM isn't the one who came up with the lengths. They come from production sources.

 

[dantini]

The touched up STO model of the Zheng He looks so much better... Maybe EM could release that version as part of the STO collection later?

 

[Dukhat]

Well EM isn't the one who came up with the lengths. They come from production sources.

Then I don’t agree with the production sources. The Inquiry does not look like it should be almost as long as a Galaxy class starship, nor do I think that Oh’s ship is twice as long as a Ktinga (granted that was STO, not EM) based on the former ship’s lights and the latter ship’s front window where you can see Oh looking out of it when the scene pans out.

DPD want me to pay import tax for the Son'a Collector, but apparently they don't accept any payment methods I usually use... Does anyone know what Eaglemoss do when a parcel can't be delivered and is returned to them? Will they cancel the order and refund me? Or will they try to send it again?

Just today I received a mail from DPD asking me to pay import tax for my order from Eaglemoss, too. I'm super suspicious, though, if it is legit as I've never gotten such a mail before. I have contacted DPD about it and hope they tell me what to do. I didn't dare click that far, what are the paying methods they offer for this?

 

[dantini]

Credit cards, and some German internet payment systems I haven't used before (I used Paypal for the Eaglemoss order, but that doesn't seem to be among those that DPD accepts).

 

[Markonian]

DPD has this PDF for paying import charges to the UK: https://www.dpd.co.uk/pdf/paying-import-customs-charges.pdf

Is there such a document for your regions? They could indicate whether the payment requests you received are legit.

 

[dantini]

It probably is legit, EM also mentioned it here.
I just don't know how to pay it... The PDF mentions Paypal, but that's not among the options I get here in Germany.
