Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

[David cgc]

I’ve noticed a lot of Eaglemoss entires that are apparent out of stock are marked as available for pre-order. I assume they’re anticipating a restock in the future. Actually ordering an out-of-stock model that’s coming back eventually beats using the email notification button that’s never once worked.

 

[Paul755]

Yeah, the email notification button is a joke.

Eaglemoss does have the refits (Google is your friend ) but this isn't quite that. After further analysis, it appears to be a kitbash of the Polar Lights 1:1000 kit that contains both parts of the original and the refit.

Eaglemoss US has them. UK doesn't, which is where I am and thus where I was looking.

Seems some are for sale on Amazon UK, but £44.99 which is a bit pricey even for an XL.

I'm going through the digital magazines. Issue 24, Xindi-Insectoid Ship, has plan views of the Nausicaan pirate vessel. Is that an error that occured in the print mag as well?

My god the Cerritos is huge! It's more like XXL size!

Cerritos Strong!

Funny story - earlier this week I received notifications from UPS of four packages coming from Eaglemoss. I figured it was some of the many ships I'm waiting on. First two packages arrive Friday each with a single magazine in them I was missing. Then today the other two arrived with the exact two magazines I received Friday.

Yeah, the email notification button is a joke.

I actually got an email notification a while back about one of the ships being back in stock. Unfortunately I had already picked it up on eBay months prior.

Then today the other two arrived with the exact two magazines I received Friday. .

Well, given that many subscribers aren't getting magazines, you could potentially get a nice price for selling surplus mags on eBay.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Especially since there aren't many stand-alone mags for sale on eBay. People seem to be more interested in the actual models. I think that market will shift with this new way Eaglemoss is doing things, however.

 

[Paul755]

Ugh, my NX-01 refit came today via Amazon but they sent me the NX-01 XL.

thank goodness for free returns/exchanges.

US Eaglemoss store has one of the best deals I have seen for the Shuttle sets. 40% off the regular price. So it should be 60 for a set. Offer ends May 6th use SHUTTLE as the code.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Crap! I just got the final set last week. Oh well…

 

[TrekMD]

I hear you! The same thing happened to me!

 

[dantini]

Well... That was not a good season for starship fans, except of course for the fleet shots in the first and the last episode.

Which ships would you like to see as EM models first? For me it's

1. Type 14 Shuttle
2. Excelsior II class
3. Inquiry class with additional STO details
4. Ross class
5. Borg Queen's ship

 

[137th Gebirg]

The BQ ship would need to be one of those big XL/Special releases. The smaller box size wouldn't be able to do it justice. They may skip it for the same reason that they skipped the Narada. Simply just too much detailing to make it feasible.

The Nu-Stargazer (and its earlier TOS-style counterpart) would be a good place to start, IMO.

 

[Paul755]

Yeah, the new Stargazer would have to be the first one out of the gate if they do ships from Picard S2.

 

[saddestmoon]

I’d love to see a Ross-Class Starship produced!

 

[Tomalak]

Didn't they have a whole line of STO ships?

I did really like the Stargazer and the Excelsior, and the new shuttle was great. Hopefully they come back in season 3.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Yes. 20 ships only, though. Didn’t sell well enough (at first).

With the latest addition of STO ships into the canon, however, this might change in the future.

 

[t_smitts]

The Suliban freighter arrived today. It's a significant improvement over the Suliban cell ship, with better coloring and shading. I do wish the ship fit a little more snugly into the stand, but it's a minor quibble.

That one was off of eBay. On the other hand, I have three pending orders from Eaglemoss, one of them (just a single model) going back almost a month. I gotta say, it's kind of maddening that it can go a month before an order gets shipped..

Between the second and third order, I have THREE shuttle sets (6 and 8, and then 3) coming. My latest order was today, a bit of impulse buying to celebrate a very promising (albeit temporary) job, so I took advantage of the shuttle set sale, and piled on a bunch of other ships (Fesarius, Orion interceptor, Gorn ship, and Raven).
