Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Yeah the huge refit constitution saucer (with phaser banks no less) throws me off. We've seen starship designs that seem like successors to older designs (Constellation class/Stargazer class), or even designs that might have taken inspiration from older designs (Excelsior class/Obena class), but I'm still trying to wrap my head around this new Titan. It's like seeing a contemporary of the Sovereign class that looks like that ship, but then randomly has a 2260s Constitution class deflector dish design instead of one we would associate with the late 24th century Starfleet vessels.

 

I have the feeling this announcement will have more to do with resumption of the 1701-D model, which is good, because folks have already spent a small fortune on the build to date. Even though I’d like the Starship line to continue, my reading the administration documents indicates that there wasn’t much interest from third parties in doing anything with it.

 

Weird. I wonder why all these things are happening in such rapid succession. Is C/P/V cleaning house with their licenses?

 

I always forget those even exist.

The Star Wars ones seem pretty nice, but the Trek ones never looked that great.

Maybe, I've always thought they had too many licensees for things that weren't all that differentiated.

 

I know it's not the same because the booklet and stand will say something different, but did Eaglemoss make any of the other versions of that model that appeared on the various series crewed by different aliens? Maybe you could find one of those on eBay or something if they exist.

that will probably be the bulk of it. But I’m not even worried about “new” or announced/unproduced stuff. Just release the older stuff they still have in stock or newer stuff that had been produced but not released.

 

Does anyone know if the large gold Enterprise-E get released? I recall there was a brief stint where it might have been available, but most sources had it as a pre-order item up until the fall of Eaglemoss, much like the Vancouver-class model and several of DSC's 32nd century ships.

 

I got an email today saying that French company, IXO Collections has acquired the Eaglemoss assets.

 

I like that. It all started with Verne...and Trek will be appreciated there.

 

I got that as well. The link goes to somewhere weird. Copying and pasting the text of the link will likely send people where they need to be.

 

I'm glad I bought the Eaglemoss

before the ship became canon... It's not going to get cheaper now.

 

I was pondering getting it but then was too unsure if it would ever be canonized without major changes... but if EM can recover with a new owner, they might release them again.

 

PCT was listed in the administration documents as the purchaser of the subscription build-up business. I didn't realize they were affiliated with IXO, I have a few of their racecar models.

 

I picked up the B'Omar patrol ship at my local store this weekend and finally opened it a few minutes ago. I still wonder why ones like this got made, and more memorable or prolific ships did not. I doubt this ship was high on anyone's wish list for them to make or to buy, but this did a good job. Actually, given it's fighter size and worn appearance, it almost looks like something that belongs more in the Star Wars universe.

Not bad.

 

CBS probably insisted ships like that get made.
