    I need to check and see how many I am missing. I bet it must be 7 like other are reporting.

    As I started boxing up my collection, I thought I'd take some pictures:

    And here they are as I start to wrap them up:

    Hopefully they survive the trip intact!

    That is a lovely collection! Is that the Johnny Lightning NCC-1701 hugging the Kelvin? You nearly never see a pre-refit (prefit?) Enterprise that is pure white.

    It's a Hallmark ornament, actually! I forgot it was in there until I got to it when wrapping them up. The ring you should use to hang it broke off so one Christmas I sat it out with my collection to display and then have never put it away.

    It's this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002TYN9N0/

    It's a beauty! A shame the Hallmark ornaments are so hard to come by in the Old World.

    Small News:

    1) Model image of the B'rel class in attack config, and the Cheyenne class, each:
    1.1 http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/..._107_Klingon_Bird-of-Prey_Attack_Position.jpg

    1.2 http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/...ps_Collection?file=Eaglemoss_USS_Ahwahnee.jpg

    2) The same Memory Alpha page gives the Jumbo Enterprise-E launch date as 31 July 2017. As in, one fortnight from now. :eek:

    3) It also adds the Jumbo Defiant before the Jumbo Voyager, but there's no source.

    4) Behol the Mirror Universe 3-pack:
    4.1 Cover image: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/...s_Collection_Mirror_Universe_3-pack_cover.jpg

    4.2 Content image: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/...ion?file=Eaglemoss_Mirror_Universe_3-pack.jpg

    Comment:
    Combining the trio of mirror ships is a clever idea. I wonder if the mirror line is done, or if we get more ships (e.g. counting the glowing USS Defiant as part of it).

    News:
    The jumbo 1701-E was sold for $60 at the SDCC.
    Here's an unboxing vid (9min) showing it from each angle, and on a spinner:



    Observations:
    1) No apparent errors (probably very small ones).
    2) It's the First Contact paint job.
    3) Seamline between metal and plastic stands out on port and starboard of the engineering hull.

    Plus, the jumbo 1701-E is now available for preorder on Britain's shop for £49.99. ETA: 31 July 2017.

    um no...I was suggesting although the "hub" is supposed to be here in PA, their customer service center locations, apparently, isn't. (Sheesh...my mom is from S. Carolina)

    I wonder if they'll have it at ST: Las Vegas next week. $60 is better than the $75 they have been charging for the jumbos.

    I'm going so if they have it, I'm going to pick it up. On a related note, it's been confirmed that Ben will be there all week. I'm hoping he'll have some news or at least models we haven't seen yet.

    for those who cannot stream the video- does it have the First Contact details and paint job or could it be the refit with the older paint scheme?
    if it is just the first contact version i am going to pass- already have the lighteD Bandai kit of that one.

    Looks like it has the paint job from the First Contact physical model - the white colour scheme with more subtle accents. I think the Insurrection and Nemesis CGI models were darker shades of grey.

    It doesn't have the Nemesis additions (pylon phasers are absent). I think it's based on the Insurrection CGI mesh.

    I had no idea it was coming so soon. I skipped the D but I want the E.

    Tomorrow's pay day. :angel:

    You cannot pre-order yet. :klingon:

    So do you think Ben might present some images of the Discovery line of Eaglemoss ships next week at Las Vegas? I guess Discovery could be forbidden still, but I think we've seen enough of the Shenzhou to see the model, right? Right? :D

    VERY much hoping so. It would be very smart for them to strike while the iron is hot as a part of a coordinated merchandise marketing blitz.

    So I've been on travel for a while and wasn't able to give an update on my most recent shipment from the E-Store.

    I used the "SUMMER" promo code when I placed an order for the ISS Defiant (the completionist in me must have them all, even cheap-ass repaints), the Franklin dedication plaque and the TNG jumbo E-D. Now, because the E-D was listed as "Pre-Order" and not due to ship until July 20 (I placed the order over a week before), the promo code wouldn't apply to it. Promo codes apparently don't apply to any Pre-Order items. So, I came up $10 short for the minimum amount to use the code (which was $60, IIRC), so I ordered the green "Alien ships" binder which put it just over $60. So, around July 17 or 18, the package comes. The E-D is inside it!!! It arrived 2 or 3 days before it was supposed to be available for shipping! I could have chopped off quite a bit of extra coin if they allowed that one to be included with the discount so I'm a little frosty on that one. Don't think I'll call them up for a partial refund, though, as to re-calculate something like that retroactively may be problematic. Their local US customer service personnel don't appear to be the brightest bulbs on the tree. But DAMN! It's almost like they intentionally listed the E-D as preorder just so people wouldn't exploit the discount code on it! :mad:

    This happen to anyone else?

    I'm hoping so. I might find myself hanging around the Eaglemoss booth a lot.... I'm hoping he'll do a panel & give info like he has before. I'll definitely attend that if he does. :biggrin:

    Yeah even if it ships early, they don’t include pre releases for sales or discounts

    I got my replacement shuttle, never got a letter. When I first signed up I said no to them contacting me. I changed it and both other trek subscriptions I selected for them to contact me. But to this day I normally don’t get any emails or letters.

    Oh and for those who think the large D is just Eaglemoss using the same mold as the original release you would be would be wrong.

    While there is still missing and incorrect details, there are details that were never part of the original release. There is also a missing feature that was on the original release. So it’s not just a copy.
