Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Okay, stupid question to everyone that is a little familiar with their website:
I was thinking about getting one of the ships I'm interested int that I missed from their website, but it's out of stock. Does anyone know how long it takes until they'll refill their stocks? It looks like quite a lot of models are currently not available - are they still reproducing the older models?
Seems entirely random to me, the best thing to do is set an email alert and they ping you if/when it's back in stock. I don't think there are any guarantees that everything will be restocked.
 
better look at the XL enterprise-C:

and then previews of some upcoming ships.

i'm sure there's novelty in seeing these ships in model form, but does anybody actually want these?

Yeah, I think I'll pass on all those. The Lantree would have been a maybe... but I just have to think do I wanna spend the best part of £15 on something that I essentially already have 3 times (the Reliant, Saratoga, Bozeman)
It's just the Reliant without it's rollbar, or the Saratoga without those side things. If others want it fair enough, but after three versions I'll pass on this "plain" one.
And all the others I know what they're from but they just don't really mean anything to me.

It's nice to get a look at the Tug to be fair; in the episode it's hard to make out what you're even looking at. But do I really want that thing sitting on my desk? For me it's a no.
 
Really like the “landed” Bird of Prey. But I think it would be a must buy if it said HMS Bounty on the side.
 
They'll make a special edition (read: repaint) release for the Bounty next year, I wager. ;)
They’re not that greedy. Remember how resistant they were initially to offering repaints/closely related models, until the sales of the classic Connie model showed them there’s a market.

Tbh, I hope we get the Voyager-at-warp. The details on Warship Voyager are crisper than on the original.
 
My favourite Star Trek you
I understand that everyone wanted their credit on the plaque, but that looks ridiculous. Compare with:

It's just following the precedent of every Trek ship other than the original Enterprise though. TNG started it!

The only iffy thing for me is that it makes this a Homo sapiens only club.
Because in real life it references production staff. But in-universe...
Maybe we’ve only seen the Human-dominated ones.

man, you can look at something so many times and never notice a little thing like that and then someone points it out and it's all you can see.
 
^ I first noticed the insane number of producers STD has when watching the opening credits. There was something like 20+ producers/executive producers listed. That seems like a little bit of overkill to me.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to getting my own Shenzhou plaque :)
 
The NX-01 and NX-02 plaques were the same way.

I think it only looks like a lot because they're all in one big block of text, if they were written out in columns like on the TNG Era plaques it would probably look better.

I’d be interested in a few battle damaged models. The one that tends to come to mind is the Enterprise refit from Search for Spock.

I don't see that happening. Even with ships that were ONLY seen in a damaged state (Enterprise-C, Stargazer, Jenolen, Equinox, and the various Wolf 359 ships) we saw them in pristine condition. There's still a bunch of important ships that have yet to be done (I mentioned them above) before getting into further variations of existing ship.

That said, I really like my Connie Defiant and wouldn't object to a couple of ships of the same class, provided they were specials, such as Columbia NX-02, the Constellation 1017, the Valiant, the "Sao Paulo" Defiant with new registry number, and the Rio Grande (basically the Orinoco with the pod on top).
