Thanks for the heads up. Usually only things like the Disco Klingon ships are heavily discounted. I was surprised to see DS9 for 50% off. I usually concentrate on Starfleet stuff, but bagged this.

I wonder why?
- Oh, no! Why did I have to see this!! To quote Markonian:
- Fantastic! I got the Disco Klingon Bird of Prey and the Raider for £10 each (instead of £40 each) - they're such beautiful designs (I can't equate them to being 'Klingon', but I don't care). I also got the ring ship Enterprise XCV-330 for half price. Ka-ching!
Haven’t had a look at the Jupiter station yet. The two stand thing sounds interesting. Also sounds like it could be a pain as well.
I think this looks a lot nicer than the previous Titan model?
If anybody here had them both, can they make a comparison picture?
Hm, this is concerning.

If the YT videos fizzled out, then I just hope it's Real Life taking priority right now.
I remember when I used to visit 8of5's website regularly, then it stopped being updated, came back...and is dormant again. Sad, but just real life.
Indeed. I’ve gone from trying to do approximate-quarterly updates of the SSDB to once a year, usually around December when I get a few weeks off. Working, married, with a kid and all the extra curricular things that come with having said-familial obligations occupy a lot of time. No regrets on that front at all, mind you, but it is still highly time-intensive.
Also, if I’m completely honest, my site’s been out there for over 25 years now and I’m just not as young and full of energy about it now as I was then, to be as intense about keeping it up-to-date.

Indeed. It's always been a tradition of mine, whenever I bought a model, to watch the corresponding video of his, going through the magazine, then the model itself.

Although I like the idea of a few non-canon designs working their way into canon, and I think EM did a good job here, I'm not crazy about the Titan design. It almost looks like someone took an Akira and replaced the saucer with one from a Sovereign. I think the saucer doesn't lend itself as well to a more condensed look, the way the Galaxy did with the Nebula.
Perhaps if the pylons connected to the nacelles more at the front, allowing them to hang back further, the way they do on the Centaur or the original Voyager concept. Perhaps that would be a bit more graceful. What do you think?
The Titan design was a contest way back in 2005 for the novels. The designers had to design it was certain restrictions in place and I think Sean (the winner) did a pretty good job. Feels like it’ll suit in the First Contact era of ships but has enough changes to give it a unique look.
What? It's THAT much bigger than the first model? Crazy! No wonder it looks more detailed. I would have never imagined from just the pictures
Thank you!
The ring looks a bit like the pattern on the Franklin
Well sonofabitch!!!!
Oh, and I love me some [customer service email] and [number] that I should never hesitate to contact!
Just... FUCK!
So, this tells me that magazines will be PERMANENTLY missing from the collection. I would honestly much rather wait for them to one day be available to ship with the corresponding model than never getting one, or scouring through eBay trying to find them, in order to fill out the collection. Do these people NOT understand collectors? This is straight-up not goddam acceptable!

The upside is that apparently digital magazines may be available - they stopped after #100 for a time, but now it looks like they may be forced to finish it all, due to the damn "supply issues".
