Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

The Scimitar has been confirmed as coming on Twitter, by Ben Robinson. It's only a question of when.

I'm ecstatic about the announced ships. The Vahklas is the biggest surprise. Looking forward to this stylish Vulcan ship.
 
The Holoship? Really? Probably the most bland, boring design ever

The Enterprise-J and possibly the Aeon are the only ones I'll be picking up from that list. I used to get around 1 of every 2 releases, I think now with a bit of barrel scraping it's getting down to 1 in 4 for me.

Surprised there's still no Jem'Hadar Battleship too
 
Oh there are so many left. The various kitbash Wolf 359 ships. The assorted freighters starting with the ST III Merchantman. And the DS9 main title ships.

There is also room for some variants of existing tooling. How about a Year of Hell Voyager? Or an ST II & III Battle Damaged 1701 Refit version? A Doomsday Machine USS Constellation?

I believe Ben said that they were enuff ships that he wasn't going to do this. He felt that most people would feel this would be a money grab.

Indeed, that was what I hated about the Johnny Lightning set of ships. Look, we've done the hero ships, now you get a battle-damaged version, a version firing phasers, a version firing photons, a 'cloaked' transparent version... :barf:
 
Silly question, from someone who's never bought any of these:
Is it possible to just buy a single issue/model (say, the Enterprise-J when it comes out), or can one only get these via subscription? Thanks.
 
I don't mind battle damaged ships provided they have molded in accurate damage as shown on screen and not just some scorch marks with custom paint as companies most do.
 
Okay -- how? I've scoured the st-starships.com site, but it only seems to offer subscriptions there.
Don't know which country you are in to provide a link, but try looking for a link to their webshop, there you can buy single issues (although the J won't be out for months).
 
Both eBay, & Amazon carry individual ships (with Magazine)-
not every single one is offered, but what is available changes over time, just keep checking back.
I have bought several that way.
 
I'd love repaints of existing models, e.g. other ships of the same class, like Johnny Lightning did.

It's a win-win: the producer saves money for new molds, and we get additional ships.
 
So, no announcement yet on upcoming specials and which Star Trek Beyond ships they'll make. We know that 3 STB ships are planned, including the Enterprise.

The Franklin will be included for sure. A Swarm ship seems likely. As for the Enterprise, it might either be the 1701 in the STB configuration, or the 1701-A. TBH, I'd rather have both. :bolian:

I'd also recommend asking your local comic/collectible stores. A lot of them sell the ships, or can special order them.
