Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

I have to say I'm kinda disappointed by Eaglemoss with a recent issue I had with them.

When I got my shipment with the Bajoran Solar Sailor and the Stargazer back in November the Bajoran ship was broken in shipping (I'm guessing this is pretty common for this ship). I emailed them and they sent me a new one. However I didn't get my normal shipment in December. My shipment usually comes around the 20th-25th so I figured it was delayed because of Christmas.

A couple of days ago I get an email that they are shipping the Temporal Weapon Ship and the Nebula class ship. I look through my emails and see I never got a notification that they shipped out the Klingon Attack Cruiser and Enterprise E. The shipment day also changed to around the same time the replacement ship got shipped out. It seems like they replaced my normal shipment with the replacement shipment.

I emailed them about the situation 2 days ago and haven't received a response yet.

I did finally get an email from Eaglemoss on Friday, they said the Klingon Attack Cruiser and Enterprise E were temporary out of stock and would still be sent to me. Seems kinda fishy that they would replace my regular shipment with a replacement shipment but whatever at least I'll hopefully get them soon.
 
The Kumari arrived!

And this Andorian fan is thrilled with the accompanying booklet, too!


Andorian stuff by Therin of Andor, on Flickr

The only one I decided I really, really *needed*!

Depicted amongst some of my other Andorian stuff (a screen-used Andorian bandage, the Andorian sock monkey, IDW photo cover comic, customised Andorian Skeletrek, bust of Shras, screen-used Aenar antennae and signed pic of Shran) is volume 3 of Marc Cushman's "These Are the Voyages" hardcover series, which arrived the same day as the ship. All stuff I really, really need.
 
Great. I'm in the middle of immigrating to Ireland, and can finally subscribe to Eaglemoss here - and now they offer it in my good old Germany. :)

You know what? I'm going to upgrade by German subscription and get my hands on those shiny shuttles. :D
 
Those are nice shuttle models. I do hope they're available in other countries, but I fear it will be like the exclusive Japanese Borg Cube that is a very rare thing to find these days. There is a mention of "Exklusives Angebot Nur Für Abonnenten" in that picture, translated to "Exclusive offer only for subscribers", which makes me think we likely won't see them outside eBay.
 
I thought the Japanese release hadn't happened yet?

Those shuttle look pretty sweet, I'd like to think the demand for them would be great enough for a global release.

Edit: I see that happened in may.
 
Yeah, I saw a few cubes on eBay pricing in the hundreds. There were different types, too. One looked like the original TNG "Q, Who?" style (maybe that was a UK version?), and another looked more like the First Contact/Voyager version with larger plate armor. Big bastards, too. Really wish they would show up here... :(
 
Just wondering as well if anyone from Australia has received their December delivery yet?

Issues 20 & 21 were due to be released last week. Still no arrival as of yet.

Furthermore, word from STSS from another website seems to indicate that only Germany and France will be receiving the shuttles. There are currently no plans to release it to other countries, which to be honest, is a total rip.

You said it yourself, there are currently no plans. In other words, they're testing the waters on this and roll it out if it's a success which is a perfectly logical approach.
