    Well, I got the Titan. But holy shit the Cerritos sold out fast.

    It said 3 left when I hit “add to cart” but by the time my cart loaded it had “sold out”.

    I don’t think I could have gone any faster.

    at least I know I have one more chance at a normal sized version.

    Well, that's disappointing. The Cerritos, the only ship I wanted off this list, immediately showed as sold out. No chance to get it. Just how much did they have on hand for that one?

    No problem, I can just get one from ebay for 450 EUR instead, I guess. :rolleyes:

    Not getting it for a second time really stings after already paying for it when it was available through Eaglemoss and then never receiving it. Someone somewhere really fucked up big time.

    Okay, so I bought Steth's ship. $35 Canadian for shipping? Yeesh. Almost backed out when I saw that. The XL Orville caught my eye, but I was already too late for that one.

    Hopefully the next batch has some of the stations I want at the same time, so I can save a bit on shipping.

    Found this under the Cerritos description.. seems to confirm what others have already suspected

    "The U.S.S. Cerritos is the star of LOWER DECKS, where it has the important mission of making second contact. This was one of the last models that Hero Collector produced and it was only made in limited quantities. It's an XL version that is just under 10" (25 cm) long. We only have VERY limited stock."

    Looks like the Titan, Valdore and one of the STO ship are sold out now too.

    You know, only being attached to ships from the pre-JJ shows and movies does have its advantages. ;)

    Derp, totally forgot about this so missed out the LD Titan (fortunately I ordered Cerritos day one from Eaglemoss). Did snag Nog and Liu Cixin, so my Universe collection is complete. Kinda surprised the price for those two was only $50, they must have a ton of them.

    Well, that was disappointing. What is the point of having a timer for when your site will go live, if you open up 90 minutes earlier than what you are advertising?

    Given how quickly the Cerritos sold out, I'm going to have to be lightning-quick to secure the Jubayr, Armstrong (Kirk class) and Vancouver when they go live.

    Jubayr and Armstrong never made it past the prototype stage.

    I read on Twitter it was less than ten for the Cerritos specifically, not sure on the specific number though.

    I read three on another site, which seems silly low - seems like they should have just auctioned those on eBay.
