Still waiting on Franklin.........got a reply from EagleMoss saying it had been shipped on the 4th to allow 21 days........I assume they mean business days since it is the 28th.
 
I wasn't excited for the original 1701 getting a release in the large format, but I am surprised how much I actually like it.

The D and E are must haves, if I had my way I also want the excelsior ( not the hideous B refit), Voyager and the motion picture version of 1701.

There a bunch of others I would like, but those are the ones I really want.

In many cases my general want is based on 2 factors. A ship that due to being so thin didn't feel as substantial as some of the wider releases (excelsior and B are examples). Then ships for what ever reason didn't get or show much detail, the movie version of 1701 is a good example, maybe an Ambassador class, runabout.

Heck even s third option getting a larger version of a ship that is actually a large ship just so some of the regular models feel more in scale.

But by then I would be living on the streets.
 
I'd like a refit Enterprise, but only if it's designed from scratch rather than upscaled from the current versions. The nacelles looked terrible with that blue plastic in the front. I do love the jumbo TOS Enterprise.

Same here, I forgot it was a bank holiday today so fair enough, but if it's still not here by Thursday or so I'm gonna be annoyed.

You in the UK as well? I don't understand how they shipped it that it takes 21 days to make it from London to my house 45 minutes away. ;-)
 
Yeah I am. I didn't order it straight away though, ie. as soon as it became availble for pre-order. Looking at my e-mails I ordered it April 23rd, still a way before it's proper release.

Yup I ordered the 19th of April.

Well after a little trip to the local sorting office I now have the Franklin, whoop!
My first "nuTrek" ship too, as I wasn't a huge fan of the first two movies but did like Beyond quite a bit.

I guess you just never know with Eaglemoss, sometimes I've ordered things and they've arrived within 2 or 3 days, and sometimes it'll be a couple of weeks or so.

Mine just came as well.............I had no idea it was a larger scale. It looks great!

Looking forward to those. The Alien franchise has some really nice ships and the Sulaco is a favorite of mine.

Would have preferred the Beyond nuEnt-A. I hope we get one before the inevitable redesign in Star Trek 4. Still gonna pick the refit nu1701 though, because.
 
They're probably saving the Nu-A model for the next movie. Let's hope they manage to keep it all in one piece for once.
