Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Yes, it was a deliberate move in Disco S1 for a new rebooted look. Klingon ships were designed by people chosen intentionally with no prior knowledge of Trek, for example.

Bryan Fuller told them to ignore previous Klingon designs, it wasn't just choosing people who had no prior knowledge of designs.

Either way, it did not turn out well. Nor for the ones flying those ships.

What did they design before? Steampunk stuff?

*Sigh* You certainly didn't see Gareth Edwards or Jon Favreau telling people that for Rogue One and the Mandalorian.

Because Star Trek isn't Star Wars.

Very sorry to hear this.

Well, he saved most Trek ship designs to plastic. We have his work.

Thanks for all the ships.

Ben Robinson has apparently stated that

the existing warehoused stock has been purchased, and should start showing up in retail channels soon

Because Star Trek isn't Star Wars.

I think you completely missed his point.

 

[NCC-73515]

Yeah that was in here starting around 4:32

From Ben Robinson:

All the existing stock for ships and figurines has been freed from the warehouse and will make its way to stores between now and the end of the year. A little bit was still in China and will take longer. There is a little stuff that had never been released. Not sure where or when it will appear.

Someone I can’t name yet is taking the license to make new Star Trek ships. I am optimistic about ships from other shows but this is further behind. It may be that they turn up with more than one company. New stuff is likely to be the best part of a year away and (I think) principally online, at least at first. I imagine it will be available internationally but I couldn’t say for sure.

 

[Paul755]

Hooray!

 

[drt]

That's cool. I'm glad I only overpaid for one ship (whoops).

I wonder who took the Trek license, from the bankruptcy documents the administrators were of the opinion Eaglemoss had essentially screwed things up so bad they thought it was probably a lost cause. Maybe someone like QMx who essentially already had a license for the same thing. I have the feeling the new owners are probably going to focus largely on hero ships, despite what Robinson claims, I don't think releasing every ship ever was financially viable (but if was cool while it lasted).

 

[Markonian]

Perhaps it’s that French company?

 

[137th Gebirg]

I wonder if DeAgostini is still around?

 

[Paul755]

I would think after they burn thru the existing stock, then the main hero ships would be the first ones they do. Less “Kes’s Shuttle” and more USS Voyager.

They're for sure resuming the Ent-D model subscription service, presumably if they wanted to do the ships they'd have included them in the original deal.

I wonder if DeAgostini is still around?

Not a bad guess, honestly, I was surprised they didn't pick up the 1701-D model, that's more in their wheelhouse than Ixo/PCT's (who have had subscriptions collection more like the original Starship line).

I was leaning more towards a company like QMx (shoot or even Hot Wheels) that would be more likely to focus on releasing individual ships than doing another subscription service.

Less Voyager and more NCC-1701 (TOS), Enterprise-D, B'rel class, D'deridex class, USS Reliant, I guess.

Did the STO line ever get around to the Alliance Temer Raider? It's growing on me with my latest Romulan playthrough (I realized none of my other T6 Rommie ships are account-wide).
