Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

For the sake of ease, I'll just link to my Facebook Album which is filled with most of my edits I've done. :)

Those are just awesome! Thanks for sharing! :)

Living in Germany, we're only up to issue number 12, but most of the models thus far have been really good.

My favorite would have to be the NX-01, which is just perfect. The metallic aztecing, the gold/bronze elements, all the tiny markings and just the weight of it. The biggest surprise for me personally, however, was the Jem'Hadar battlecruiser, which is a design I never really noticed in the show itself. It's really interesting to look at and all the tiny window prints give a nice feel for its size.

Minor disappointments, though, were the Defiant, Voyager and Reliant. They are not bad per se, but with the quality of the NX-01 and E-D I was expecting more. There's something about the gridlines of these ships that just feels wrong. They somehow seem too wide and "round" for me. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Gridlines on the NX-01 are hard-edged and flawless, but on Voyager they make the model look ... cheap.

But still, an awesome series! Originally I was only going to buy two or three models, but of the 12 issues thus far I have bought all but four. I guess I'm hooked.

Plus, it's huge fun to photograph these models! :)

It might not be automatic. Since the beginning, most of my credit card payments were monthly, but there was a large time gap between credit card payments 6 months ago, from 12/22/2014 to 2/11/2015, so they've intentionally delayed things before. Anyway, it looks like most of us are all in the same boat, so I'm not going to worry - but it's certainly bad form on their part.

I actually got my shipment and shipping e-mail on time. So I'm guessing stock just ran out at a bad time. It could be anything, like something happened during production that is causing delays. Maybe a shipment got sent the UK market as replacements for missing/broken ships, etc.

Sounds like to me the 1st time they knew the delay was going to happen, this seems like it was unexpected.
 
Yep. Me too. Maybe they ran out with a limited stock this month for some reason and some people just got shafted. Dunno... :shrug:
 
With my German and Irish subscriptions, I don't receive emails unless I contact Eaglemoss for some reason.

In terms of subscriber extras, the Reliant and Jem'Hadar warship were delivered in Germany, together with the Galaxy X-class dreadnought. The AGT-Enterprise is the refined version, and now I have both the "white" version and the "checkered" prototype.

The Fortunate turned out to be well done. I like it lot, that working-class type ship. It is as long and wide as the Enterprise-B. Due in two weeks is the 1701.
 
Just got the email saying 45 (Malon Export Vessel) & 46 (Enterprise-C) are on their way plus the Borg Cube and its corresponding poster! Huzzah!

It said there's a Borg Cube poster that comes with it. Probably in lieu of the typical magazine that most others have.
 
In the email receipt I got from EagleMoss yesterday telling me that everything was being shipped. Unless I read it wrong... :shrug:
 
I don't understand the excitement, from all accounts the cube is easily the worst produced thing we will ever get from eaglemoss, more so then even the Negh'Var.

The only one that is not terrible is the one the Japanese market is getting, and its not the one we had advertised.

That. Its a free gift, and unlike the AGT-D it shows. I regret paying for it on eBay.
 
I got my shipment email, but just the malon and the enterprise c...hopefully next month for the borg cube for me...haha
