Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

[Macintosh]

Still no word on magazines but Doug Drexel will be part of Novembers signature series, dunno what ship though.

I'd guess the NX-01.

 

[Macintosh]

Anyone that has it can you tell me how it is? It’s one I might consider trying for depending on price.

It's nice for its size (about 15cm/6 inches across), and feels very solid. It was Eaglemoss's first special issue way back when they first started the range so the build quality was good but due to early instalment weirdness it doesn't have a stand, it just sits on its pylons. TrekCollective's review is here and I've linked some of their images of the model below.

Has to be the NX-01.


I’ve mentioned this before, but I find it kind of annoying that MR does all these random drops, like how is this “restock” different from a Wednesday or Friday drop, when they also restock things they’ve had before.

I think the restocks are from canceled orders and they have said they hold a certain amount back of each ship for special customers. Like if Mike McMahon wanted a Cerritos they would just send him one. So they maybe just dump those into the restocks if nobody wants ‘em. But yeah, I think they have overall gone a bit off the rails with the drops. It’s gotten to be overkill especially when they don’t really add anything new.

my thinking is the NX-01 refit. That seems to pop up quite a bit in the drops.

awesome thanks. No stand is weird but that’s ok.

I still haven't forgiven them for bending the lower pylons in much further than they should be.

U.S.S. Enterprise XCV 330 in the light of the Moon.

I was sorry that they didn't have the standard sized Orville (or it was just gone in under a minute). I decided, with all my expenses lately, I didn't want to pay for an XL.

They had the standard size in stock for about 2-3 minutes on Wednesday. I thought about snagging one, but decided since I haven't bothered watching the last season and a half of the show, I should let someone who's more of an Orville fan get it.

 

[Paul755]

Looking at Wednesdays drop list and what do you know, stuff I’m interested in.

Gonna take another shot at the Phase 2 Enterprise, last time it got sniped outta my cart at checkout. And price pending I am for sure gonna take a shot at the small DS9. But if I have to pick between the two, I’d rather have the Enterprise.

 

[drt]

In theory, there's nothing I'm interested in Wednesday's drop, but I'll still be there at the appointed time because, unfortunately, MR seems to have lost the plot when it comes to correctly announcing what's in an incoming drop. There were a couple of random things the past month or two that they didn't announce that ended up dropping, so still need to check in that they don't do it for something I actually want.

November coupon is 30% off if you spend over 150$

 

[Markonian]

Oh snap, MR just put out that 15 Pralor ships that were supposedly lost in transit have popped up on eBay.

I can't find that xeet. Do you have a link?

 

[Paul755]

Someone forgot to upload the drop to the website.

 

[Paul755]

Looks like they pushed the drop back an hour.

was able to get the Phase 2 Enterprise. But passed on DS9. 50 USD was just too rich for my blood this time.

 

[Macintosh]

Still 9pm UK time. It's because daylight savings in Europe ended last weekend.

97 items in today’s drop, that’s got to be the most ever.

Anymore, I get the sense that all of the random stuff that used to be scattered all over the world is slowly trickling into their warehouse, which is probably why they don’t have much idea about upcoming releases. It doesn’t seem anywhere near as organized as it used to be months ago.

I caught that now, they never updated the time in the drop page.

It did seem like a big list for today. I think you might be right. It would explain why we are still seeing a ton of the two JJprises come in.

Missed out on TNG Shuttle Set 1 tonight. Oh well.

Thank you! I don't understand why I couldn't find this.

X…Twitter…what ever has become such a weird place when looking for older stuff.

Non-spoiler:
Our very own Fabio Passaro gets name-dropped in the lastest LD episode.
Rest in peace, and thank you for everything.

 

[137th Gebirg]

He passed far too young. Such a tragic loss of talent.

Very glad he will be forever remembered in canonical Trek history now.
