Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Does anyone know if models like the large Cerritos and the Defiant concept ship were ever actually produced, or were these all just pre-orders that will now never see the light of day? I don't recall ever seeing someone share photos of getting these models online. Can anyone help me out with this? I just want to know if there's a slim chance to ever get these models.
Welp, I'm out a few hundred, I was current with pre-orders for the specials and bonuses. Been trying to chase up some of those the last couple of weeks too, was wondering why it was harder than normal. At least I never started the Build the D, or any of the other construction partworks, I'd be pretty upset if I'd spent all that money with a pile of parts to show.
Nah, that bit's probably true. I work in print, and getting paper is becoming a nightmare. There's a worldwide shortage that started in 2019, and the last few years have not helped.

I have both if the Defiant concept is the one I’m thinking of. I can post pictures later.
yeah, the Cerritos was an XL edition. I was waiting for them to make a smaller/regular sized version.
Damn, really?! Then why the hell did they never send them? I had them ordered in November! This is fucked up.
That's the Defiant concept ship I meant:
I got the Defiant concept (Valiant class) a while ago. It was definitely produced. Not the Pathfinder, though. That one morphed into the Equinox and Rhode Island (which we did get) and I don't think they ever did a treatment for it.

Yep, that’s the one I have (US)
Damn, they both look so cool! Loosing the money from my orders is one thing, but not being able to own those after all really sucks. Will probably try to hunt them down on ebay or something like that. 
EDIT: By the way, is that only an optical illusion or did they actually paint in some sort of glow around the bridge module on the Cerritos? Totally looks like it glows around the edges.

That sucks that you're out money. Did the UK shop make you pay up front? The US shop only charged when they shipped.Damn, they both look so cool!

In the US I went ahead and bought several of the ships I don’t have from my Universe subscription through Big Bad Toy Store. They let you wait 90 days for shipping and you can return for site credit before they ship. Figured I do that to make sure I get them & if somehow my subscription is still going I’ll return them or flip on eBay if I need to.
In the U.S., I have been subscribed to the Disco and Universe subs. Last model I received was the Romulan Flagship (I was REALLY looking forward to Disco-A, and Voyager-J, which were (will be?) next in my sub.
That being said, the US customer service appears to still be responsive. I received a reply from an actual customer service employee this morning about getting a refund on a recent return I made.
Long story short: I forgot to cancel my last ST Universe special, which was the Disco-Spock figure with salt shaker. I emailed them about a month ago to return, and they accepted without hassle. Initially, they stated they would give me a credit for the next special. Given the recent news, I emailed US Eaglemoss customer service yesterday asking for a refund to the card I have on file. I expected to hear nothing , but received a response next day.
A small glimmer of hope given the circumstances, but given this experience, until I hear or see otherwise, I will clutch on to that small glimmer of hope that Eaglemoss / Herocollector will make it out of this still standing (instead of being liquidated faster than a fire sale at Quark's)
Correct. From what I can tell, they only offer digital magazines for 1-180 of the original ST ship collection.

Regarding the Cerritos, because the EU shop was taking so long with my preorder, I cancelled it and ordered it through the Eaglemoss Amazon.co.uk shop to family in the UK. I then "smuggled" that and Titan back in hand luggage when I visited in May.
I got the XL-Rosi a few weeks back from the UK shop, I almost ordered the Valiant at the same time, but didn't as was going to in the future, am kicking myself now.
