    So PIC S03E01 has a big Eaglemoss merchandising push? Everyone involved must have been kicking themselves when the company died.

    I mean, they had years to include Eaglemoss stuff. Could've had models on DSC.

    There are three (maybe four) companies in play.

    One purchased everything around the 1701-D model, so existing subscribers can finish (or new ones can start) their ships.

    Another, Master Replicas, has purchased existing stock and will sell that off, but currently aren't planning on making anything new (the fourth company mentioned above is also claiming they are doing this).

    The last company, Corgi, has announced they're making some kind of Star Trek products, but we don't yet know what this entails. I'd assume they'll be doing new ships. Note, CBS never seems to do exclusive licenses, so another company could still potentially try and pick up where Eaglemoss left off.

    Why? It looks cool and shows off the collectibles.

    Although a few of the unreleased standard-sized ships looked mildly interesting, the only normal-sized ship that I don't have that I hope to get is the D5 tanker version (I was fairly consistent on getting any and all Berman-era Klingon ships). I was also interested in the Orville and it's shuttle.

    Beyond that, I was starting to grow an interest in space stations. Of the three I currently have, Regula 1 was the only one I ordered online, whereas, I was able to get DS9 and the relay station from local stores.

    Of the rest, I'm most eager for K-7 and Spacedock (I consider DS9, Regula 1, K-7 and Spacedock to be the four most iconic space stations in Trek). The Ty'Gokor station looks exciting (again, Klingon stuff), and I'll surely get the Jupiter station and hopefully the Caretaker's array as well.

    Well most are STO ships which already have releases.

    I remember the NX-01.5 in Picard's counselling dream.

    yup, canonizing that design and hinting that Archer may have gotten his old ship re-commissioned for the Romulan War after the events of TATV.

    That was much bigger than an EM model, unless they made an XL version of it

    Haven't seen the clip but Round 2 sells a 1:1000 scale model kit of the NX-01 with the refit option parts, about nine inches long.
    I do have an XL NX refit, its about 6 inches long

    IIRC, that was the 1:1000 scale Polar Lights refit kit. Slightly larger than the Eaglemoss version. There was an upgrade sub-kit for the original, but they also have the full kit available as well.

    The Eaglemoss model of the NX refit was a larger scale than their normal model anyway, but not quite XL. More just "L". Here's an image of it with the regular NX-01 and XL NX-01.

    Sure, but which of the available models are the refit, and did EM make them?

    Yeah, the giveaway was that it had both the horizontally mounted module between the catamarans from the original and the secondary hull from the refit below the catamarans, hence F. King Daniel calling it the NX-01.5; it was a mix of the original and the refit.

    Odd, you'd think such a prim little boy like Picard would be dutiful about reading the instructions, but between that and the backwards rollbar on the Miranda (they really should've added some pins or something to that kit, a lot of people make that mistake building it), it seems he was just mashing together whatever pieces fit like they were Lego.

    Yes, it’s already been established that it’s the Polar Lights model kit.
