Right with you on this one. I want the original SS Aurora as well.
If you get that than we also need the original Tholian spinner.
No to the first question and no such announcement has been made about the second. In fact, it seems that if a TOS ship hasn't been remastered, it doesn't exist in the line. Probably because source material on some of the old models was sparse and there is a higher expenditure of R&D funds making a whole new mesh, as opposed to adapting an existing model for 3D printing. I suspect it's more of a business decision than anything else. If the line continues to be profitable, they may put smaller shuttle-size versions of these classic ships in a four-box set or something. But no official announcements, no.
Eh, just break the engines off.If you get that than we also need the original Tholian spinner.
Got this as an email today for those interested

Dear ****
We appreciate that we have not released much information about the Star Trek Discovery collection to date; we would like to apologise for this, it’s one of the challenges we are facing developing a new collection based on a TV series that is equally new.
That being said, we are aware that in recent weeks, some information has been posted from various sources and we wanted to officially confirm a number of details:
Kind regards

Actually the "Defiant pathfinder" was never really a Defiant design. It was retroactively created as an in-universe concept for the DS9 Technical Manual.
Seriously. I fuckin hate the TOS remastered cgi models and space vfx.
I love the remastered image quality. But the space-shots are a big part of a space opera for me. And everytime the cartoon-y models are visibly, I want to go back to the low-resolution original. The remastered shots are an abomination.
When they announced the TOS Tholian ship, I was (naively) expecting the original model. Yes, that was pretty bare. But so is this. And the models aren't that big.
Really? I found most of the touch up to be an improvement. "The Doomsday Machine" is probably the best example of this, with the Enterprise gracefully dancing around the Planet Killer, not to mention seeing the shuttle (now named the Einstein and not the Galileo) take off, as well as correcting the scale problem with the Planet Killer vs shuttle vs Constellation.
Planets look more like planets, instead of red blobs; the Woden looks like a 23rd century ship, instead of the Botany Bay, the vista on Vulcan is impressive, and we actually get to see several ships on-screen that were originally kept off-screen for budget reasons.
Then again, I actually approve of most of the changes to the Star Wars films that were made in the 90's, like the more impressive X-wing shots and the more somber celebration music at the end of Return of the Jedi. (Not all of them, mind you. Greedo shooting first is ridiculous and that wacky musical number in Jabba's palace adds nothing to the plot and slows down the story). And was 15 when they came out, so I'm old enough to remember the versions that came before.
Perhaps the only TOS remastered update I would've change is to have the Klingon ship that attacks the Enterprise at the start of "Errand of Mercy" be something different than a D7. It just never felt right that they could destroy one that easily. Something smaller, like a Bird of Prey, would've been better. (What do you suppose a Bird of Prey designed in the Matt Jeffries style would've looked like?)
The freebies look really cool. Glad this line is finally moving forward.
There were opportunities in introducing a TOS Bird-of-Prey which were sadly missed by. There was, as well, the scout ship in "Friday's Child" and the ship in "A Private Little War".
Not at all, why would I?Tomorrow is ROYAL WEDDING!
How are you gonna watch it?
By working all day.Tomorrow is ROYAL WEDDING!
How are you gonna watch it?
If anything good happens, I'll see it in meme form on Facebook later.
Yeah...my ancestors fought a war 200 years ago for the right not to give a shit about royal anythings. I shall continue to honor and respect that proud tradition. No offense to my Brit brothers and sisters out there. 
But I still love the Eaglemoss models!

Ben Robinson inquires about our interest in Matt Jeffries Concept Art turned into models. #Twitter
So, if you fancy that black Galileo prototype or the Klingon doodles, hit the keyboard and make your voice heard:
