Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

[Nate]

Does anyone know if and how the Discovery ships will be available in Germany? On news stands, like the regular issues, or only via the online store? I'd love to get the Shenzhou and the Discovery and I wonder why Eaglemoss isn't clearer about this?

I'm not sure they have plans yet. From the interview Ben Robinson did with Trekcore back in early August

ROBINSON: They’re getting closer to each other – and for Discovery, that will launch in the US and UK at the same time. I don’t know what our plans are for Germany – our other major territory – or Japan, but our first plan is to launch in our English-language markets, with Australia that normally follows shortly after.

Does anyone know how I can access my digital subscription? Customer Service has not responded to my emails.

Also, does anyone know if the Titan magazine will eventually ship separately? It said on my receipt that it would but I was wondering if that's the standard for everyone

If you mean the magazines online, I'm not sure as I've never looked at them online. That's the only part of your subscription that's really online. You can't modify credit card data, etc.

Titan magazine did not ship with the models for anyone in the US as far as I'm aware. It will come separately.

Literally no one is forcing you to buy these.



Personally, I would think it is upto yourself to make that decision.

I'm just asking for opinions. Geez.

No need to get upset. And accept my response as my own personal opinion on the matter given the tiny amount of information you have given on your own personal circumstances.

• I understand that, "Literally no one is forcing you to buy these." I never implied that Eaglemoss was forcing me to buy their product. I simply made a point that paying $80 per month is a lot to ask for...

• I'm 50/50 on whether or not to cancel my subscription. I'm searching for user's opinions on what I should do because I may not have considered certain points that will ultimately determine if I keep my subscription or not.

"Literally no one is forcing you to buy these."
He was pretty clearly just thinking out loud and seeing what the rest of us think about it, getting the vibe as most of us will have getting these ships a lot longer and through various means. That was crystal clear to me. But you seem to take it as some kind insult and feel the need to teach him a lesson for even thinking to ask?

You've spoken to people like this for no reason before on here, I remember me a while ago. I think you need to think about how you come across and speak to people.

Well, I stand by my point, given all the work that is entailed to make these products and then sell them, with hopefully a profit and that means they can sell more of these products, no you is forcing you to buy these products, they're a luxury, I don't buy all of them for that matter, also since moving from the UK, they are increased in price. So my opinion is, as you asked for opinions is that no one is forcing you to buy them and I will implicitly say, because it seemed to have been lost somewhere, it really is upto you, do you want all of them or just some of them.



I personally think it's a binary decision, you either can justify them at the price they are, or you can't, if you can't, you should go with what you feel is right.



You are aware that mini moding is frowned upon.

This is normally such a well-behaved, drama-free thread. Let's keep it that way. Thanks.

I used to be a hater for the Discovery but after seeing the model and those orthos on their website I think I've warmed up to it quite a bit I might pick one up at some point! Interestingly enough I used to be a fan of the Planet of the Titans Enterprise concept and thought it'd be neat if they made a series set on one although I envisioned the design to be a post tmp one instead of pre tos.

Has anyone heard any news on Eaglemoss making a model for the Enterpris-F from Star Trek Online?

 

[Markonian]

No word on the E-F yet. Likely depends on the success of Titan and Aventine.

Also, John Eaves said he is writing an article for startrek.com about the new ships. Let's wait an see.

^ The DSC Collection goes
1) USS Shenzhou NCC-1227
2) USS Discovery NCC-1031
3) USS Kerala (we don’t know which of the ships it is yet)
4) 2250s Klingon bird of prey.
TBA) USS Europa NCC-1648

Slightly irrelevant, but I just bought the XL 1701-D. OMG! What an incredible model! If you’re a fan of TNG or the Galaxy-class this is unmissable! And that’s coming from a Galaxy-class "hater"!

I'm not a big fan of the D either, but it is a mighty shiney model.

3) USS Kerala (we don’t know which of the ships it is yet)

i thought the implication was that the kerala was the klingon capital ship.

as a galaxy-class lover and a sovereign-class eh-er, i opted for the jumbo E over the D. the latter is just too inaccurate.

 

[Markonian]

According to Memory Alpha Kerala is a Federation ship: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_at_the_Binary_Stars

I’ll rewatch the episode soon and pay attention.

interesting. kerala is an indian name, so it would make sense. i might've just been reading ben's tweet wrong.

i did end up subscribing with the mind to cancel once they get into the klingon ships, none of which i thought were particularly attractive. if the kerala is a federation ship, that means i'll be hanging in there a little longer than expected.

 

[Markonian]

^ Sounds like a plan. Do you consider to get subsequent Federation ship individually?

 

[Markonian]

NEWS:
The Discovery might be a Crossfield-class starship.

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere (hard to keep up with the threads in the Discovery forum!), but according to the Eaglemoss website, the Discovery is a Crossfield Class starship.

I guess I was hoping for something more spacey or majestic (like, say, "Discovery" ), but apparently in this era Starfleet likes to name their class ships after test pilots.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Completely new subscription.

Is there a new link somewhere for the subscription? Can't seem to find it on their site.

yeah, i'll go ship by ship after the shenzhou and discovery, i can't believe that entire fleet we saw is worth owning. again, i really didn't care for any of the klingon ships we saw, so those alone will cause me to break the subscription, it's just a matter of when.

NEWS:
The Discovery might be a Crossfield-class starship.

must be named after albert scott crossfield, the first pilot to fly 2x the speed of sounds. or so says wikipedia.

 

[Markonian]

Aye, like the Walker it’s for another US-American test pilot. While the honour is earned, I hope further class names are as culturally diverse as the battle fleet itself.

Here’s the link:

https://www.eaglemoss.com/en-gb/sci-fi-fantasy/star-trek-discovery/

It includes the orthographic pictures of NCC-1227 and NCC-1031.

Thanks very much!

PREVIEW of Enterprise-C concept model:

Explanation of the tweet: Only Ben Robinson will have the model labelled “USS Ambassador NX-10521”. Everyone else will have that model labelled USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C.

3) USS Kerala (we don’t know which of the ships it is yet)

I think/hope it’s this ship right here:

It did a glorious flyby in the battle and it’s the only one that’s memorable afterwards. It’s the only one (other than the hero ships) that I’m interested in anyway.

as a galaxy-class lover and a sovereign-class eh-er, i opted for the jumbo E over the D. the latter is just too inaccurate.

Opted? There's no choice here. I’m getting both!
But seriously, any doubts about inaccuracies will be forgotten once someone watches/holds the XL version of the D up close! IMHO it’s worth it.

Explanation of the tweet: Only Ben Robinson will have the model labelled “USS Ambassador NX-10521”. Everyone else will have that model labelled USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C.

Glad that they’re doing Probert’s 1701-C concept but not that they’re labeling it as such. There’s only one USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C and I hope Eaglemoss will give us a correct XL version of her (and soon).

 

[Markonian]

The XL-C is scheduled. In-universe you can assume the concept was the original configuration, and that the E-C we saw was the refit.
