    I believe one has been announced and listed on the Memory Alpha Eaglemoss Trek site as a Special Edition.

    FINALLY!

    Yeah PC only, and no accounts are not interchangeable.

    You could probably ask a PC player to create and upload your design to the site.

    Thx for the info. :sigh: Was afraid of that. May be a problem, as it's a Tier 6 that's only purchasable via Zen (Yamato-class Dreadnaught Cruiser), and I certainly wouldn't want someone to expend their own hard-earned currency on such a thing and finding someone who already has one active or in drydock would be difficult, to say the least. I guess I'll have to maybe wait to see if, one day, they'll open that functionality up to consoles.

    Okay, I will look at that first. If I can't get it to do what I need it to do, I will PM you. Thx again!

    Update: There are a couple that are kind of close, but none close enough. Will get you the info soon.

    That's pretty! They really did a nice job with that.

    That looks great! They did a good job on the work bee they released earlier.

    Although ethis does make me wonder if I have fallen victim to the eaglemoss curse. I haven't received a ship for September (Klingon raider I believe). Womp womp.

    Cancelled my Disco sub with a heavy heart, but it's cheaper and quicker to get the ships from the webshop. In the UK, 3 issues were on the webshop that I hadn't received yet.

    Instead, DPD is due to deliver today. :angel:

    Can't wait for the shuttle set. Any idea when they might sell it?

    I don't subscribe to the Disco ship line but is there even a regular subscription line still going...?!!! I know I'm being facetious but in reality I've received one... ONE shipment of two ships since April!! I've still not heard a peep about this or my missing Bonnie magazine from them. Is there any way to let the "powers-that-be" at Eaglemoss that this is getting ridiculous? Most of the ships they should have sent me are, of course, readily available on the web store. Does Ben Robinson know about this end of the business? If more people like @Markonian (and most likely myself at this point) start dropping their subscriptions doesn't that bring about the end of the line? So he and Eaglemoss would want to keep subscribers happy? Right?

    I broke down and ordered five ships off of ebay and the Eaglemoss web store to fill in the gaps. Just a lot of frustration after being a loyal customer for many years.... :(

    Yes it's still going, but that one doesn't seem to be as prolifically distributed as the other lines. Probably due to the larger sizes and increased detailing that's involved with those.

    Based on their online store (from a subscriber's POV), we're still waiting on the Klingon Raider and the new Disco Shuttlecraft has just recently been released for pre-order. I'm still personally waiting on the Worker Bee, which is still MIA for some odd reason and probably will be for quite some time, knowing Eaglemoss.

    There are still quite a number of Fed and Klingon ships which have not been made yet. Memory Alpha has listings of all future releases, including the USS Hiawatha, Klingon Beacon of Kahless, Landing Pod, Section 31 ship and all of the Klingon house ships from Season 1.

    I'd like to see a pristine version of the shuttle.

    Very nice - SO looking forward to finally getting that one.

    In other news, Tuskin38 has been so kind as to configure an STO T6 Yamato-Class Dreadnaught Cruiser to match the one I use (USS Glencoe ** NCC-1692-X) and I have placed an order to get a model made of it. Sadly, they don't allow dashes in the actual registry when ordering, so I had to settle for just NCC-1692.

    For those interested, here are some orthos that were built for the model. They are dead-on! Many thanks to Tuskin for setting that up! :)

    I will post models of the physical model when it arrives.

    That looks 10x more sinister and Mirror Universe-y than the actual Mirror Enterprise-D that Eaglemoss did.

    Wasn't the Eaglemoss one based off the Mirror Broken Comic?

    Funny you should mention that. I actually based this design on the description of the ISS Enterprise from Diane Duane's 1994 TNG novel, Dark Mirror:
    I found the Monarch-style "frowning" saucer section to be particularly efficacious for this design, based on Duane's very vivid description. Took me a while to get it right, but it definitely screams "go away" to all adversaries.
    Yep it was.
