Sorry if I missed it but Izo Iscariot posted in the Facebook group: there had been a preview for an Eaglemoss Matrix hovercraft.

And now it will never see the light of day.

Shoot, I totally would have been in for a Nebacanezzer and a B5 Starfury.

Also kicking myself regarding never getting a Tron lightcycle, Space 1999 Eagle or any BSG ships, figured I had plenty of time, whoops...

FWIW it looks like they are doing a buy 2 get 50% of on certain ships over on Amazon. So basically buy 1 get 1 free.

The Eaglemoss Disco-prise is retailing for $100.00 at US Amazon!

 

[Paul755]

I’m sure plenty of 3rd party sellers have increased prices.

It would have been interesting to see what they could have done with the 'Space: 1999' line. That show had some unique looking ships in the first season at least.

Pretty safe to say Eaglemoss is dead. Eaglemoss.com now just brings up a 404 message

So what is now the most coveted Star Trek model sought by collectors?

Go to Amazon and look at what the most expensive model is.

That should give you a clue.

Just because it’s listed for a price doesn’t mean it will sell. Probably better looking at completed auctions on eBay.

That being said, and without doing any research (lol) it will probably be one of the more recent ones, like the Cerritos. I think most of the others were out long enough that anyone who wants one of those already has it.

Well that's disappointing, and my spouse is now dancing with delight over how much money we will be saving.....

I just have to say minus of course new ships that have just been shown or are about to be shown, that this collection exceeded my wildest dreams. I never dreamed that nay point in my life I would be able to get even 50 ships released, let alone what 300 or so.

And for the most part almost every ship I really wanted or for that matter I felt deserved to be in the collection only about 5 total weren't.

A quick search of eBay sees that the USS Glenn Discovery variant is currently the most expensive individual ship listing at $349.99.

Most individual ships range in price from $40 to $200.

Pre-owned collections ranging from 15 ships to 130 vessels start at $200 up to $600.

yeah, I would expect the Cerritos is gonna be one of the tougher ones to find on the secondary market. Did the Vancouver ever make it past pre-order?

Possibly the Las Vegas ComiCon USS Glenn. The DeAgostini Borg Cube comes in at a close second, IMHO. I finally acquired the latter last year and I’m working on the former.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

For anyone thinking of selling their ships on, it's probably worth sticking them under the bed for five years instead. Speculate to accumulate.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Indeed. All of mine are still in their original boxes and magazines tucked away safely in their binders.

Imagine how much the prototypes might go for one day.

And the prototypes we never saw, like I'm sure there's a Beyond 1701-A sitting on a desk somewhere.

Thanks to Izo again, here’s a Facebook screen-grab of Eaglemoss’s Farewell message from LinkedIn: https://www.facebook.com/groups/eaglemossstartrekfangroup/permalink/3276008346055819/?fs=e&s=cl

Originally I didn't want to buy any of the Inquiry-class models... Now I've bought my second one. Short nacelles & yellow lights isn't my favorite combination, but it's the most different to the Maui I already had.

 

[137th Gebirg]

I guess they never got a chance to put out the other two (Toussaint & Varian Fry)?

 

[IMC Headquarters]

I would have cherished an XL Bonaventure, Horizon, and Antares...
