No, not yet. The comma officer announces ships as they arrive. Some match that order with the order of ships warping in.
Oh, I got that. But something about @Lakenheath's wording (“the majority of the ships were unlabeled”) let me think there are people being able to identify labels on these ships (apart from the obvious Europa, of course).

According to Memory Alpha this ship is indeed the USS Sioux. Don’t know how accurate that recognition is though. What I do know is that if Eaglemoss makes it I’m definitely buying it (and placing it next to the Cheyenne-class USS Ahwahnee).
 
I waited till midnight and the Aventine is available to order on the UK site now. Hooray.
The 2 for 3 sale is still on too. I was gonna order the Jumbo D too while I was there but it's out of stock now; I'm not playing Eaglemoss's game of paying for something now and not recieving it for 6 months or so, or simply no idea when at all, so never mind. Just the Aventine then
 
just got a coupon code (US) from them in my email, checked the site and noticed they reduced the price of the jumbo NX-01... after i already preordered it. this is also after i purchased another ship with expedited shipping, then received it way late, and had them ignore my three progressively less happy emails to them.

i'm gonna have to call them to get some money back and i know how that's gonna go.

The Shenzhou has entirely legible name and registry, the Europa's NCC is on her ventral hull and the name is seen when she's being bisected. The Hath is name dropped by Saru as she's being hit by 3 Klingon ships then immediately shown under fire. The Sioux as mentioned above is kind of shown as she's named.

The rest? no idea. And we might never get a good look, I'd say the issues will be;
1. Shenzhou
2. Discovery
3. Europa

That's 3 months from when they start next year, we'll see more ships by then which might make the list over the BoBS fleet.
 
They are doing the alien ships too? okay cool.

The Sarcophogus ship should be interestng if they can get all the detail in. I wonder if the Kerala is the X-shape 4 nacelled ship.

memory-alpha thinks it's this ship:
i'm dubious (as are others here) about their ability to identify these ships. i'm thinking the kerala is the ship posted above by @Captain of the USS Averof as potentially the sioux.

Yeah, I'm thinking that's the Sioux too. But we could be wrong, they didn't give us a good enough idea of them. If that is the Kerala, the similar design to the Walker class might make production easier.

it's entirely possible they're both the same ship. it's incredibly hard to tell with these things.
 
They were mentioned in-dialog. I think there's a bit of speculation going on about which designs go to which names.

In other news, I finally placed my manual order of the USS Franklin that I should have gotten as a special but never did. Slowly getting caught up...

The Aventine and Titan are. still listed as out of stock, sadly. Those went quick. Bad short-term news for fans of the designs while waiting for new inventory, but good long-term news for fans of soft-canon ships, like me. :)

And there's a new promo code ("SECRETCC") which gives you 20% off all orders over $60, not including pre-orders. For US customers only. Sorry rest of the world... :(

They're having a NYCC special with the Titan, Aventine and the books, which is why the singles are out of stock, so if anyone needs all four that's in stock.

I saw the Franklin and K7 were in stock; however, I was just charged for a special, who knows if it's one of those or the Swarm ship. So frustrating...

The 2 for 3 sale is still on too.
Just ordered the Aventine, didn't see the 3 for 2 advertised though. Not the end of the world, ordered 3 the other day, and will be happy enough just to have the Aventine anyway. That's the one ship I've really been waiting for.
 
Just bought the Aventine and the giant NX 01. Unfortunately the three for 2 wasn’t on although I got a 10% discount code. The shuttles will be out soon so that’s another, what £75 then discovery which is £30. Phew it’s been a long time since being a Star Trek fan was so expensive. Still I absolutly love this collection
 
Do we have any idea when the shuttles are due? Have been waiting to get my hands on the Argo ever since seeing NEM in the cinema as a kid. :hugegrin:
 
I took a trip to Ottawa last week and took the opportunity to check out a couple of the local comic/collectible stores to see if they had any ships that my local store doesn't. (Despite living a fairly decent sized city, there's really only one store left here that sells them).

One store had a couple of older ships, but the only one of those I didn't have was the Maquis ship (which I bought). Another store, I was surprised to find had the Klingon D5 (which I also bought).

This surprised me, as I'd been constantly asking my local store if they had issue #100 (the Daedalus class). Either they never got it or I just missed it. Bummer. Hopefully, that won't be the case with issue #104, the Jenolan, which I also want very much.

As for the ones I got, I really like the D5. I have pretty much every Klingon ship (except for Goroth's ship and the special from "Into Darkness") and this was a design I thought looked great. It's wonderfully detailed with the tiny bits (just like the 22nd century BoP).

As for the Maquis ship, it's not bad, but doesn't quite excite me as much. It's not really one I was pining over, just one I had an opportunity to get.

Sidenote, I've always been puzzled by the statement that the D5 is basically the same size as the Raptor and smaller than the NX-01. I'd always assumed it was actually a bigger ship, almost like the Negh'Var of its day.
