New interview with Ben Robinson. The 31st century Constitution class, the "naked" Cerritos, and the vertical Romulan warbird are mentioned. There's not a lot of new information, but he does seem to be working on more than just the first 20 ships.

Yeessssss!
I’d love both the large ‚Tomalak‘s Fist‘ style vertibird as well as the Kiith class from LD.
Plus, I need the Kirk class as a model — twice! One USS Armstrong and one to rename to NCC–1701–P. Eaglemoss had a prototype already.

Assuming that the line will be extended, which ships do you think should be the next XL models? They could probably do the rebuilt Enterprise D by just re-using the existing XL molds and painting on the scratches. Do you think the CSS World Razer deserves to be XL because it's "almost an Enterprise"? Or maybe the Zheng He (updated season 2/3 version), Pathfinder-class Voyager B, Luna class, or Sagan class?

Didn't the Picard Rebuild have some missing hull plates on the nacelles? They were shown in the design sketches (along with heavier burn marks from the reentry) but the they way they filmed the scenes I never could get a close look for them...

I would like to see an XL of the Andrew Probert Enterprise-C Concept. If you watch the Trekyards video, there is tremendous detail on the Tobias Richter CGI
model not captured on the 5 in. version we got. Also, it’s an Enterprise.

I didn't even consider ships from the older shows/movies. I'd still like to see an XL Steamrunner.

All of those except Luna and Sagan for me, please. The existing models of the latter two do the job nicely for me. That said, I’d still buy them in XL.

In general, I’d like the like then to continue the ratio of 19 Starfleet ships vs 1 alien ship.
My pipe dream would the Captain Dax’s Vesta-class USS Aventine.

I think it would make sense to have at least three alien ships within the next 20 issues:
- the vertical Romulan warbird
- one of the Borg ships from PIC (Artifact, Singularity, Queen's cube)
- one ship from SNW (Romulan warship, Praetor's flagship, Gorn hunter, Gorn destroyer)

I simply cannot afford the XL ships anymore- I wish they would release the reasonably priced smaller replicas for these new subjects. Still expensive but something I can work into my budget.
Of the XL line I only managed to swing three- the 2009 Klingon Warbird, the NX-01 Refit and the Orville.
