Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

The regular subscription or the XL line... or both?!
Just says Star Trek: Starships collection. I assume the Discovery line will be unaffected.

They are saying for a while now that issue number 180 will be the final one of the main line. They'll still be releasing online specials, the XL line, the Discovery line and ships from Picard and possible future Trek shows.
I just ordered the sixth shuttle set as the “cyber monday” price (50% off plus 15% off for the using the code CYBER15) was unbeatable. I'm getting it mainly for the Defiant shuttlepod. Always loved the somewhat awkward look of that.

If so that’s still 10 months from now. This feels like a sudden decision that they need to end it now.
Oh, okay. What's the exact wording in the mail? I haven't received anything. But then again, I'm not a subscriber, I'm just a regular on their online store.
I put it in a post above.
Ah, sorry, hadn't seen that. Wow, that does sound sudden. Now I wonder what's up with that as well.
I have not gotten that email. Could that maybe apply to the UK only?
This is quite disconcerting. I still have a number of missing ships in my collection.

Well not sure what's going on but this news made me go over to ebay and buy a couple of missing issues I haven't received from my regular subscription and then went onto the Eaglemoss shop and ordered a few XL ships they had in stock that they skipped over on that subscription. With the cyber discounts it wasn't as painful.
Wow! That sounds ominous. I hope this doesn’t meant the total end of all ship production outside DSC. At DST, Ben said bonus issues could continue - implying the subscription ends but ships keep coming. Whereas this new text indicates a complete end.

I mean, subscriptions have been a complete hash for a while now anyway. It's gotten to the point where I'm not longer 'I received my sub, but yadda yadda', I just go 'Not Received' and 'Received But Broken' and list off what i need. It started out bad, but was actually going mostly smoothly for about 80 issues until the big warehouse changeover. Now it's a clusterfuck.
Yep. We may not "need to worry" now, but there are reports of lots of problems fulfilling subscriptions with their markets all over the world. European subscribers may simply be the beginning. I hope this doesn't affect the DeLorean build sub as well. I've spent quite a lot on that one already too and they've just recently skipped 3 issues. With the ship lines, it's not so bad, but the DeLorean parts build on each other. You need prior assemblies complete before continuing on. With the missing bits from a couple of months ago, newer issues keep coming, but I can do nothing with them until I get the back-filled ones. It's quite a mess. Eaglemoss seems to be collapsing under its own logistical weight.
I always worried something like this might happen when they kept announcing new collections after new collections (busts, comic collection, WWE, etc.) that perhaps they were stretching themselves too thin.It's quite a mess. Eaglemoss seems to be collapsing under its own logistical weight.

Sorry for the confusion. We’re trying to sort out some clarity now. Rest assured the collection is continuing until issue 180 and you will be able to get it.
That sucks.. I mean u can grow with ur companies grow.. Maybe put some things or collections on hiatus until they sort out there logistical problems..
