    looks great, glad they're branching out into non-federation XLs. what's the engine like? did they use transparent plastic?

    So the two blank emails I got last week were actually for the two E-F magazines. With the exception of the cover art (one for "Federation Livery", the other for "STO Livery"), they appear to be pretty identical. A shame they wasted money on two of the same thing, when I was really hoping to see the Bonaventure mag.

    Still missing the USS Lantree (#138) and Fesarius (#146). Probably won't see those until next year, the way things are going right now.

    Anyone in the US received the Jem'Hadar Battleship (#148) and Krenim Warship (#149) yet?

    Crickets on my end. It seems to have been awhile since I've heard from them. In fact just checking my email and they last sent ships (issues #146 & #147) on April 5th! Isn't this a monthly collection...?

    And I also received the "STO Livery" mag. Still waiting for the Bonaventure magazine.

    I'm still waiting for the Bajoran scoutship and Degra's ship, both of which appeared in more than ten episodes each.

    I'm really excited for the Groumall though.

    Basically the same as the regular issue just upscaled so no transparent plastic.

    I’m current up through #147. I see a charge pending on my credit card as of yesterday but it’s only enough money for one ship not two. No notification of what ship yet. Last shipment was the end of April for me. I see a pending charge for the Discovery sub as well.

    XL akira-class is up on the UK site as a wait list item for june 24 preorder. there's only one pic up, but i looks like it does have the USS thunderchild name above the registry, and not a pink impulse engine in sight:

    This looks amazing!

    And it's fantastic to have Federation non-hero ship in big. Hope this sells well so we might get a Prometheus, Equinox and Enterprise-J.

    Starting to get the XL, besides the rubbish refit Enterprise, any comments or warnings about the E and B.

    i have the XL NX-01, E, and B and i'd rate them in that order. the E has a few issues, the bussards are a little too small and the saucer feels a little too thick and rounded. the B's nacelles are too low and the front part of the secondary hull is molded a little weird.

    these are all minor complaints, so i think you're safe with both those choices, but i can't recommend the NX-01 enough.

    I have the D, discovery Ent, NX-01 and Voyager to date. And the NX is pretty sweet. If it wasn’t for windows misaligned Voyager would be damn good. The D (besides the damned shuttle bays) is fine, but I could only find one new detail (and one less detail) from the original release, and even though the original is really well detailed I expect a little more for a much larger model.

    I only have the XL TOS Enterprise and 1701-A. The A is obviously substandard. But the TOS is fantastic.

    Very cool looking ship. Still can’t believe they haven’t done a “Bounty” version.

    Break off a nacelle, keep a bit of the pylon on and burn it with a lighter and you have battle damaged Enterprise.:bolian:
