Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

[Paul755]

I think they went too far with the larger ships. The price point on the XLs was a bit too high for them to do as many as they did. And switching to the larger size once Disco came out just kind threw things outta whack.

 

[Cradok]

I'd have happily bought all the streaming-era ships if they'd been done at the same size as the main collection, but between the size and the price, I ended up with none of them. And I only really ended up with the Kelvin-era specials because I was subbed to the specials anyway, it was too much trouble to cancel and uncancel every time a ship I didn't want came along. It's why I have some of the more... pointless main series ships too. Can you imagine deciding to go out and buy the Nightingale or the Arcos?

I'm quite surprised at the small runs that these later ships have had, I'd have expected that a worldwide sreies like this to be in at least the 10k range.

Yeah, I too was surprised at the low production runs.

I suppose that it might have been a function of Eaglemoss having so many different products in production at the same time, so for maintaining worldwide stock they did smaller production runs to keep the distribution and inventory levels manageable.

[Macintosh]

Oof. This is going to be an expensive one. Perhaps it's for the best I missed out on a Cerritos after all...

 

[Paul755]

that drop list looks weird, several of those are up for sale right now.

 

[Paul755]

MR sent out a new special code this morning like last month. But this month it’s buy one ship get a second for 40% off.

just like last month it will only work if you got the email.

They've been doing that for a while. I'm not sure if it's just to drum up interest in things that have already been released and are semi-lanquishing or they're getting additional stock.

Buy a low-priced regular ship, and see if you can get the Titan for 40% off regular price!

 

[Markonian]

Do you think the Viper II includes any variants?

[drt]

I think they said they'd have the Husker variant in October, so presumably this is the regular Starbuck version..

 

[137th Gebirg]

Oooh! I forgot about those. I suspect the stock now, like before, contains a random smattering of all of them. For the life of me, though, I can't remember which version I have...

 

[Paul755]

Anyone else notice they’ve changed up their shipping? It’s kinda confusing now. I got the Whitsl notice like before. But now I have tracking from both UPS and the USPS. I’m supposed to get my order from two weeks ago with the Klingon BoP and Defiant Shuttle tomorrow but I’m skeptical.

Anyway…I didnt see this posted. Here is what is in todays flash drop. I don’t really see anything of interest.

My Cerritos was dispatched today (Royal Mail tracked 48) so hopefully will be here Friday or Saturday.

My, perhaps mistaken, understanding is the Husker and Apollo variants were convention exclusives, so presumably you have Starbuck.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Sounds right. Although I seem to have forgotten about them. My collector's OCD is disappointed in me...

 

[Paul755]

Yup, as I suspected my delivery got pushed back from today until Tuesday. It must have been stuck in customs or something. That makes it about 2 1/2 weeks delivery time.

gonna be a long wait for the Cerritos.

 

[drt]

My deliveries have been about 16 ± 2 days once MR gets around to actually shipping shipping them. The stuff from RealMerch usually arrived in less than a week, and with a cheaper shipping cost, unfortunately they haven't had any new stock since April.

 

[Paul755]

Yeah, if I recall correctly the previous shipments from MR arrived almost right at 2 weeks.

But I think I read they changed carriers or something so that might explain the delay.
