Review: Eaglemoss Star Trek XL Starships Collection So Far

| January 17, 2018 | By: John Duchak 23 comments so far

TrekMovie received the first four ships in Eaglemoss’s new XL Edition line of Star Trek starship models. After getting up close and personal with these ships, this reviewer is left with but one word: wow.

Eaglemoss began releasing their Star Trek Starships: XL Edition collection early in 2017 through a subscription ($59.95 per ship), or for purchase individually through their online store ($74.95 per ship). These ships are the largest ever produced by Eaglemoss, with the quality you’ve come to expect from the brand. Each comes with a stand to exhibit with the rest of your collection or as a standalone display. XL Edition ships are die-cast, hand-painted, and come with a companion magazine focusing more on the productions these vessels featured in, rather than the ships themselves. For a detailed profile of ship specifications, as well as the design process, the smaller siblings of these ships include those details in the accompanying magazines.

Here at TrekMovie we received four ships, which are available now for purchase: NX-01, the Enterprise, Enterprise-D, and Enterprise-E from Eaglemoss’ XL Starships collection ( subscriptions available here ). The Voyager model is the newest addition to the line and debuted two weeks ago but is not included in this review, but expect a review once it arrives in the post.

The Eaglemoss XL Edition collection. Currently, five ships are available with five more on the horizon.

The XL collection plans on including at least five more ships (Enterprise refit, Enterprise-B, Enterprise-C, the Defiant, and the Reliant), so going with their subscription option would save $150 over the course of the run. In addition to these five, Eaglemoss’ Ben Robinson has teased an XL version of the U.S.S. Excelsior.

The Enterprise NCC-1701: No Bloody A, B, C, or D

The TOS Enterprise NCC-1701

Measuring in at 11 inches, the TOS Enterprise comes in as the longest ship of Eaglemoss’ XL Starships line. The entire starship is made from die-cast metal, save the underside of the saucer, the navigational deflector, and the warp nacelles. The warp nacelles are constructed with a molded ABS plastic that feels much stronger than the plastic elements included in Eaglemoss’ smaller Starships Collection. The paint job is spot-on perfect, making this Enterprise a convincing little sister of the filming model currently sitting in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

The contents of the magazine differ from the standard Starships Collection release, with the focus being on casting TOS, and filming “The Cage” and “Where No Man Has Gone Before.” Collectors looking for the history of the creation of the famous Matt Jefferies ship, along with its canon specifications, should be sure to pick up the smaller model.

The Enterprise NCC-1701-D

TNG Enterprise NCC-1701 D. Notice the aztecing on the saucer section.

Measuring at 8.5 inches, the Enterprise-D is perhaps the largest in total volume of any ship of the XL line thus far. When you pick it up, you can immediately feel why. The majority of the ship is constructed from die-cast metal, with little plastic to be found other than on the warp nacelle grills and bussard collectors. The Eaglemoss Enterprise-D showcases the line at its finest. The majority of the ship is die-cast, with other parts a hard, molded ABS plastic.

The paint job is authentic and impressive for such a model. The model feels heavy, despite the fact that plastic elements have been incorporated seamlessly into its construction. The most impressive aspect of this small model has to be the “aztecing”, a painting method used to make large starships look like their hulls are made of multiple pieces of metal rather than one smooth surface, that has been meticulously painted. The Eaglemoss U.S.S. Enterprise-D still has much of the detail that can be seen from the larger Diamond Select version of the ship. Larger models, such as the version of the “D” produced by Diamond Select Toys, has molded lines over the hull to represent the aztec pattern, but no actual paint to provide contrast and make the ship shine. Another nice touch are the ship’s windows. Unlike other releases of the Enterprise-D, Eaglemoss’ version includes windows with both the lights on and off.

The magazine focuses on making TNG, which includes some lovely conceptual artwork for uniforms, the bridge, and props. It also includes details on casting TNG’s characters.

The Enterprise NCC-1701-E

First Contact style Enterprise NCC-1701 E

The lighter paint job on the The Enterprise-E is reminiscent of the version of the Sovereign-class ship we saw in Star Trek: First Contact . As Trek fans are aware, the design and paint job on the Enterprise-E differed through First Contact, Insurrection , and Nemesis as the CGI model passed between different visual effects companies.

The elongated saucer and top of the secondary hull are made of die-cast metal, while the bottom of the secondary hull and the warp nacelles are made of ABS plastic. While the Enterprise-D’s superb paint job, particularly combining the ship’s aztecing and windows, was perhaps its most impressive feature, the windows on the Enterprise-E appear to be painted a few millimeters off from their indentations. This leaves plenty of indentations all over the ship devoid of painting. Further, the ship’s warp nacelles look devoid of detail. The reds, blues, and grays of the bussard collectors, warp grills, and gray detailing are nice, but the nacelles lack the detailed aztecing that the present on the saucer. The aztecing is present on the underside of the nacelles, but curiously vacant from their sides. This leaves the bussards, grills, Starfleet branding, and RCS thrusters the most prominent parts of the nacelles. With the Enterprise-D being painted with such perfection, this reviewer is left to wonder how Eaglemoss could neglect those details from the Enterprise-E.

The magazine focuses on making First Contact , redesigning the Borg, and creating the Borg Queen.

The First: The Enterprise NX-01

ENT Enterprise NX-01

Eaglemoss returned to form with a stunning XL version of the the Enterprise NX-01 . The entire ship is cut from die cast metal, save for the ship’s warp nacelles. Whereas the nacelles on the smaller version of the NX-01 felt flimsy and tenuously glued on, the ABS plastic on the XL version makes them feel strong. This reviewer personally had difficulty with the smaller NX-01’s nacelles falling off, but these XL starships feel sturdily constructed.

The aztecing on the NX-01 is perfect. Eaglemoss seems to have used a pearlescent paint, as the NX-01 shimmers when hit by the faintest of light sources. The gold, gray, and black details on the ship give her provide a lovely contrast and air of screen authenticity. Fans of Eaglemoss’ earlier NX-01 refit model will already have a sense of how beauty of the XL version of the Enterprise. The only disappointment, as far as the version this reviewer received, is the smudging of the ship’s name at the front of the saucer, as you can see in the photos.

The magazine focuses on creating, casting, and filming Enterprise .

The Official Starships Collection, which is approaching 120 ships, can seem daunting when it comes to cost and the space the ships will take up in your home. Further, as any subscriber will receive two ships per month, it will take years to receive the entire collection. The XL Collection offers the most iconic starships from Trek with exceptional detail. This reviewer would recommend the XL line as the perfect introduction to Eaglemoss’ Star Trek products, and these are a must-have for existing subscribers.

TrekMovie will soon have more reviews and news from the ongoing Eaglemoss Star Trek Starship Collection so stay tuned. Keep up with all the Star Trek merchandise news and reviews at TrekMovie.

Can anyone confirm if the poor window paint the E and the letter smudging on the NX are one offs or present on all of them? Do they offer replacements for issues like this?

The window misalignment is probably common but doesn’t detract too much from the look. But the Enterprise smudging is not, as mine is fine. They will send a replacement for those errors.

I have all 113 ships released so far, plus all the specials/bonuses and the XLs, and couldn’t be happier. Despite some minor flaws on some of the models, you won’t find any series that produces this many different ships at this price point.

Well that’s the thing, they seem to go for quantity over quality. It is what it is I suppose.

Yeah. They’re mostly decent as long as you don’t look too close.

Replacing flawed ships is important.

I have the NX. No smudging, it’s perfect.

It’s hit and miss. I won’t subscribe. Instead buy from Forbidden Planet and look at the model before buying. Some of the window misalignment issues are terrible.

Another thing is I noticed the NX is missing the Aztecing on the paint shown in the promo picture above it.

Thanks for this coverage. So tempting to get involved with this, but in the end it would become a problem with where to find space for them all in the house. Very tempting, though.

Quality consistency is all over the place. Some are very good while others are very bad. I carefully pick and choose what I want. I don’t recommend subscribing.

I have read reviews of several Eaglemoss ships elsewhere that complained about a misalignment between molded and painted windows. I have never bought one myself but it seems like this is a common problem.

It is. I returned my D as the windows were so badly misaligned.

Indeed. I would be much more interested in these models if they stuck to high-quality plastic rather than cast metal. Die-cast metal always seems to have soft detail, poor paint quality, and massive seams. I love the idea of this series, just wish the models looked better.

I keep saying that same thing but have heard that apparently having some weight to a model is a selling point. I still have an all plastic Johnny Lightning TOS Enterprise that, while not perfect, at least doesn’t have the gaping seams the small Eaglemoss version has. So I don’t intend to buy it.

Call me crazy, but how a model looks is far more important than how heavy it is.

I’d love to see them do an XL DS9. I mean… it would be approx. in scale with the regular ships if they did! How unbelievably cool would that be.

Pretty cool they have all the Enterprise editions out although it looks like the KT version won’t be made though. It would be nice if they include that one in the future too.

They have made the USS Vengence, the Franklin and the Kelvin.

From what I saw they were special editions larger than the standard sizes

Ok cool. And yeah I forgot about the Kelvin and Franklin. Those two represents the KT in a big way as well now, the Kelvin for obvious reasons.

Does any model-maker have a relatively comprehensive line of ships where the relative sizes of the ships are correct?

The closest I’ve seen with all the E’s is this:

http://www.culttvmanshop.com/USS-Enterprise-Collection–12500-scale-from-Round-2AMT_p_3872.html

I can’t understand how so much obvious work and care went into the TOS Enterprise model — and then a decision was made to paint the main sensor disc red. The same red as the Bussard Collectors, no less. It makes the model look like, well, it makes it look like a toy! Seam lines on the underside of the primary hull don’t look so sharp, either.

Could someone please tell me if the XL Ent-D has the same error that the smaller-sized version regarding hanger bays 2 and 3 being the same size? Two should be smaller than 3!

Star Trek Starships U.S.S. Prometheus (XL) Eaglemoss 910310

Get ready for your next deep space tactical assignment as the U.S.S. Prometheus XL Edition Starship joins our extensive Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection!

This hand-painted U.S.S. Prometheus XL Edition Starship captures the Prometheus in screen-accurate detail, just as it appeared in Star Trek: Voyager, in an even bigger scale than our regular starship models. Recreated with incredible detail, the hand-painted U.S.S. Prometheus XL Edition Starship Model is accompanied by an in-depth profile magazine.

An experimental prototype, the U.S.S. Prometheus was a combat vessel far ahead of its time. The fastest ship in Starfleet at the time of its launch, it boasted regenerative shields, ablative armor, and even the ability to split itself into three independent, wholly functional sections! This was dubbed the 'multi-vector assault mode'.

Continue your collection of Star Trek XL ship models, commemorating iconic ships like the U.S.S. Prometheus from every Star Trek TV series and movie with the Star Trek XL Edition Collection.

Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection index

91 comments:

Hi all, just a reminder that ordering from the www.startrek-starships.com website is no guarantee that they have the product in stock or that you will get it.I ordered DS9 from it on 02-dec-2013 and I'm still being told NEARLY TWO MONTHS LATER thats it out of stock. After two months. Even though they make the product. Anyway go to other functioning shopping sites if you are ordering your models individually.

If you're dissatisfied you could always ask Eaglemoss to cancel your order and get it elsewhere as you suggest, Conor? If they have completely sold out, then they're probably waiting on another production run before they are even able to send them. Who knows at what time scale they can do that, but I doubt it's as simple as making them as and when they like, they likely have to do them in batches. Considering the Collection is expected to launch in multiple countries over time I'd image that means there's a better chance of older issues being able to get back-issues in stock as they do new runs for each territory's release.

Hi 8of5, Just to clarify. The website side DS9 was in stock. This was only 5 days after it came out after all. I put the order through and paid through Paypal. I checked my balance the following day and they had taken my money. They never sent the model. I then emailed them 4 weeks later asking where the DS9 is. And they said they are out of stock and I'd get it when it was available. And they don't know when that will be. I have now been waiting two months. All I'm saying it ordering from startrek-starships.com when the stock is available is no guarantee it IS available and you will actually get it. Yes I could cancel my order. But my original order was when DS9 was in many different websites at the same price. It would cost a FORTUNE now. As you said you'd think that since DS9 became available in America another batch would be created and I'd have my DS9 by now. But I'm still getting the "we don't know when stock will be available" runaround from customer service. And I'm just warning people to go to the alternative websites rather then startrek-starships.com. For their sanity.

Any news on the Aventine?

I'm still waiting for my replacement DS9 model. Mine came with a couple of the vertical spires broken in the box. I thought it was odd it rattled :( They said they would replace it, but it would take a while and still waiting. Also getting a little irritated by small errors. The Defiant's left nacelle pennant is backward...which people told them about long before it was released and never corrected. There is almost always at least 1 or 2 errors in each issue, the worst being the cover of the Excelsior issue. A little bit of proofreading and editing would be nice, especially for the price of these things.

Are you going to be doing any more Eaglemoss reviews? Seems like it kinda stalled out awhile back.

Fear not mcarp555, more reviews forthcoming, I've just not made the time for a few weeks, but I plan to do a big old catch up starting in the next week. Christopher, I agree the Defiant error is Very annoying! Matthew, no Aventine news yet, I imagine if we do get her it wont be until a expansion of the series beyond the initial 70 planned issues.

Looking forward to reading more! As for the Aventine, Is there really any push for ships only in novels? There are still ships that have appeared onscreen that have not been mentioned, like the Pasteur. Yeah, it's not pretty, but at least I've seen it. If you haven't read the novels the Aventine is mentioned in, would you want to buy it? I don't think I would. I'd prefer EM to stick to actually visualized craft (even if only for a screen grab!).

There have been quite a lot of requests for the Aventine, and a handful of other non-canon ships. The Collection's Facebook and Twitter have replied to the effect of: Maybe, one day. I certainly wouldn't expect any to turn up in the first 70 issues. I think three ships have a very small chance of getting in though: USS Titan - It is technically canon, in name, and is probably the most prominent non-canon ship design, starring in its own book series no less. USS Enterprise-F - If any STO original design is going to get the model treatment it will be an Enterprise. This design has had a lot of fanfare, and has a presence outside the game thanks to regular features in Star Trek Magazine. USS Aventine - Some way behind the other two as it's more obscure, but while it's only appeared in a few novels, it did star in the biggest novel event ever, Destiny. Plus it's a just a damned cool design, and it seems to have some love from the STO crowd.

Discovered this site soon after I started collecting these models. Love the reviews. Been following closely. Wondered what the early opinion is on the Stargazer? I had a close look and it doesn't match the one from the show! I did a quick search on the interweb and found some doug drexler orthographics that seem to match the model more than the one from the show. Wonder if anyone thinks the same? Still like it though :)

Glad you're enjoying Thoughts. I think the Stargazer is one of the more middle-ground ships in the series. It's overall a decent model, but the level of detailing is little inconsistent; could have done with a few more prints on the engineering section. Plus mine seems to rattle a bit!

Just as something different, wouldn't mind seeing Captain John Christopher's Lockheed F-104 Starfighter from the TOS episode "Tomorrow is Yesterday". Just a thought...

Hi, I am from germany. Eaglemoss is making very, very nice starships and Batmobiles, but are not very good organized. There are many customers with stories like "I never got what I have ordered" or "I had to wait too long" or "I am not sure, if I will ever get what I have bought". Eaglemoss´ phone / mail - service is very polite and tries to help, but after all I am just happy for every order that arrives. They are pretty - those starships!

Hi. Can you tell me where you get your release times from? I'm having serious issues sourcing these. The only local place that is still selling them is Forbidden Planet and for the last 3 ships, when i have called there on the release date listed on the site they are telling me that they actually received them a week earlier.

I do love this line of ships.

Does anyone know when they will release the special gifts such as the abrams enterprise to U.S subscribers? I know the other gift line such as future enterprise and borg cube are scheduled for much later dates but I really want my ds9 and abrams enterprise.

You need to order the special issues.

I received DS9 several months ago... probably in March or April. (and I live in Seattle) I love it!

i have never had trouble with Eaglemoss. the customer service is excellent. i am sure if you gave them a call they would be more than happy to fix your issue.

I would love to see a model of Voyagers Aeroshuttle.

Has anyone had any problems with receiving their subscription gifts and could you confirm when I'm supposed to receive each of them (UK).

After being in relationship with emma for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: [email protected] m you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CAN NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU SIR HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS:jacobalabispelltemple@gmail .com CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEM

Personally, every interaction I have had with eaglemoss has been a nightmare. They have yet to meet a single commitment on the individual issues I ordered from the collection shop. I ordered seven ships that were listed as in stock, website stating only 3-5 days for delivery...That was over a month ago. Every email has resulted in a different response and every new ETA has passed. I finally received the K'tinga class last week and it was missing the acrylic stand. I called, they said they would have one out within the week, and that was 8 days ago. Fortunately a local comic dealer gets them from Diamond Distribution and keeps a file for me. I would suggest any other potential collector's do the same as most comic shop's offer a discount for setting up a file, and you can get this wonderful collection without the hassle of the horrid company that publishes it.

Has anyone received the bonus subscription ships, the future Enterprise and the Borg Cube? All I have got is excuses when I have contacted them.

I have mine from the local paper shop. Every fortnight without fail the models are there and the special issues. Try asking at your local shop if they can order for you.

We are yet to receive the Enterprise D future model after a year of trying. Always out of stock even though its a subscription. :(

I finally got my Future Enterprise but it doesn't come with book. I hope the USS Pasture includes info on the design of the Future Enterprise. There is one ship I have not seen any mention of and is my personal favorite "enemy ship"; the Husnock warship from the TNG episode "Survivor".

Hey any Canadian subscription owners had much trouble receiving ships. I just started and they told me Canada only has first 35 ships right now but assured me it will get more also they said we have no specials I really wanted ds9

Anybody heard if they're considering the Federation Class Dreadnought from the Starfleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph? I'd just about kill for one of those!! I'd love to see ALL of those ships from the tech manual made into these models! Those would be a sure way to get me to finally make the move & subscribe!!

I made a poll to include the Promellian Battlecruiser from TNG's Booby Trap! Sign it here and add your name! http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/promellian-battlecruiser

I received the USS DEFIANT today and the decals on both sides pointed in the right direction. I live in the United States.

is it possible to name your own ship and have it delivered to you???

.....and ive just signed the petition for the Odyssey Class USS ENTERPRISE-F, But, couldnt the odyssey class ship just be made regardless of the petition and renamed something else (like USS Odyssey), otherwise its gonna take ages to get 5000 signatures and to create the model itself causing a load of fuss!

I didn't get issues 50 or 51 and i have called them about it 4 times now. Each time they just go hmm, that strange, you should have got it by now, then they tell me they are showing in stock but may not actually be and that they will order them for me again. They tell me if i haven't got them by such and such a date to call back, but as said i have done that 4 times now and it's the same each time. The next couple didn't come either, but when i called about those ones and they resent them i actually received those ones about a fortnight after i should have originally for them. I think their customer service is terrible. They are polite and all, but seem completely and utterly unable to offer any help beyond telling you to call back again and again. Seriously considering cancelling my subscription.

I hear you. Hands down the worst customer service i have ever experienced. They'll happily keep taking your money, but not so keen on actually sending out the products you have ordered. Call them up, and they haven't a clue as to what has occurred. I was told issue 50 was was re-posted to me 4 times before i actually received it, 3 months late. Oh they're very nice and apologetic about it, but they never seem to do what they have assured you they would. My latest 2 issues are now nearly 2 weeks late. I have been trying to call them about it all week, but they have a new trick with their phone it would seem. Every day this week i have called them at 6.30pm only to be greeted by a recorded message stating that they are closed and their opening hours are 9am to 8pm. Umm, what? last i checked, 6.30pm is EARLIER than 8pm!! Can't explain that at all. I have called them several times at after 7pm. Sadly, they have me by the.....because i really like the collection and want to complete it. Ebay is no use because as is usually the case with collecting 'geek' memorabilia a bunch of assholes buy up as many as they can get their hands on and sell them for ridiculously overpriced amounts. I have seen ships listed as buy it now for £30 quid. I'm not sure they are worth the £10 they currently cost (soon to be £11) never mind £30+.

Like Gavin Montague I've had trouble with deliveries but have found emailing them works better than calling. I went two months with no deliveries then six items turned up on the same day. Also, I have just seen the SPECIAL EDITION ISS ENTERPRISE MIRROR (mentioned above) complete with MU1 MAG being advertised for sale on Ebay, before it's even been announced at $82 or £53(approx) seller seems sure of release since there is a waiting time for a buy it now item! Eaglemoss have emailed me offering the shuttles collection with a £20 discount and I noticed the 'Japanese' Borg Cube (not the crap one the UK got) on sale for £20 but out of stock. https://shop.eaglemoss.com/star-trek-the-official-starship-collection/borg-cube-model-

I finally received the Future Enerprise D about a month ago but still waiting for the Borg Cube. I can't understand why they started selling on their website (and now out of stock) before giving it to their existing subscribers. I'm sure I'm not the only one still waiting for it.

Baldrick - The link you've supplied is for the 'crap' Borg cube we got here in the UK. I don't see the Japanese cube listed.

For the most part the level of detail and craftsmanship is most excellent. Most models have amazing detail however some lack that detail as if whoever did it was rushed or didn't have detailed knowledge and left important details out. I hope they continue to release more ships especially from the books. I would really love to see the Achilles class battle cruiser the one with the broadside of quantum torpedoes. Also I think that making the series to scale would have been totally amazing. I understand you couldn't make a Borg cube and runabout to scale but mayb in groups like small ships and shuttles on one scale. Capital ships on another scale and large stations Borg cubes to another scale. Models being in scale makes their display together all that pre dramatic.

Hey guys, I noticed that the USS Titan petition has reached 5,061 signatures. Has anyone told Ben Robinson about this?

Lee - He has known since September. He mentioned it on Twitter and implies that they are working on it https://twitter.com/BenCSRobinson/status/649265681838546944

Hi Joe, thanks for the update.

Would like to see a model of the U.S.S. Essex (Daedalus class) from ST:TNG episode "Power Play".

"left important details out." The Ambassador class is missing it's impulse engines. I don't mean they forgot to pain them, i mean they didn't put impulse engines on the model at all!

Is anyone else getting royally sick of them downright wasting the specials on the crappy ships from the Abramsverse? Personally, i think the specials should have been all the Enterprises, and other 'hero' ships such as the Defiant or Voyager.

for some reason they stopped mine at issue 69 anyone had the same I life in the uk

I'm still waiting on them to deliver my ISS Enterprise I ordered about a month ago. hughe1971 do you mean 59? I'm up to my 63rd issue so far, 69 (Breen Warship) isn't out till March, and I'm in the UK as well.

hughe1971 if you are a subscriber, like myself, and are not getting the recent models I would suggest contacting them to check whether your payments have gone through properly with them. My brother subscribes to the Doctor Who collection and a few months ago one of his payments didn't go through properly and so they stopped sending them to him without getting in touch with him quickly enough so he is now waiting for the back issues to still be sent out to him.

Has Ben commented anywhere about the Japanese Borg Cube petition passing its require signatures? I see he's confirmed more about Titan coming, but I haven't seen acknowledgement anywhere yet that there's something in the works for the reissue of the DeAgostini Borg Cube.

It looks like he doesn't even know this petition.

Then he must not know of the Titan one either, since the Cube petition is specifically mentioned in it. :)

Did he ever mentioned the borg cube petition? I don't think so. All he wrote was "no" to a possible release outside Japan. The Titan is confirmed. They are already working on the model.

That was my question, to which you responded that it looked like he didn't even know of it, when he obviously had to (as I showed). The "no" you mention, was the reason why the Titan petition was started. I'm sure Ben said "no" to the Titan too...at least before that petition became successful. They are only working on the model now due to the success of that petition. Since the Cube petition prompted the Titan one, and, now , since it is successful too , there's no reason not to expect the same, hence my question. So, has Ben responded to it anywhere yet? I'd love to hear he has...and of course with good news as well. :)

He did not. Remind him.

Perhaps we all should...

Hello All, Also have delivery problems with EAGLEMOSS in France. I've bought the DEFIANT set 2 months later. The Set is still available on french eaglemoss website, and shipping delays around 7/10 days. And for moment still never received it.... That's pity but i will ask Paypal to return me money. Not very professional from EAGLEMOSS. Cheers, Komaro

Get used to it. Great models, but terrible company with dreadful customer service. You call them and they just fob you off with the same crap each time.

Uss odyessy from the star trek odyessy serious would be a great model would love to see that and have one craig from dublin

i've had decent customer service from eaglemoss usa, but my gripe is with shipping. i have received what i believe to be my fair share of broken or otherwise damaged models. seems like every other month i get something that needs to be replaced. they do replace it, and usually pretty quickly, but better to package better.

Here in Australia - we have 8 books not in binders, making then 4 months behind with binders. Issue 53 is MIA (they continued to supply issues 54 and 55 with no update on what's going on. Its a subscription service right, they know how many they need right? They haven't been able to verify if we are even going beyond the initial 70 ships yet. They don't respond to emails. Nice collection - service drives you crazy.

Hi everyone. I am a subscriber in the US. I was getting everything fine until around issue 40. I believe this is when they opened offices in the US. Since this time every magazine that has arrived has been damaged. Corners are bent the edges are worn. I have talked to and emailed customer service numerous times. They sent some replacement issues but those where also damaged. I am still waiting on there response from my last email that was sent to the US and UK customer support. I am on issue 61 right now. I have not received any additional binders, which customer service said was now included in subscription. I am disappointed that they plan on milking the run past 70. I will probably drop it after issue 70 comes along. It is very expensive and had planned on a 70 issue run, not 110 or however many they think they can make. The models themselves are good but as others have noted there are errors.

I agree bisset mags drive me nuts i got my 53 becuase i was getting them thorugh a newsagent because of there service but have had to go back im missing issue 51 not very happy with the newsagent it apperently never got loaded on the truck but i live in hope as for the binders dont even get me started ordered some way back last year and still no sign of them

I enjoy the issues I get. They do replace things that are damaged for the US Postal service that is pretty rough with the packages. If you did not receive something they do get on it right away for any mistakes. The only thing that is annoying is the packaging or lack of that they use to make sure the items do not break or books get bent up. I expect high quality and in mint condition when Items are received. You guys just need to package things a lot better and you will not have to be sending replacement every time due to poor protection and packaging. I am happy other wise with what I have and look forward to others that are coming.🇺🇸😀

I stopped their service about two years ago mostly because I was going overseas. But I decided to try again and saw all the comments again. The models are at best mediocre and yes. I have had several come to me broken. They could be better in detail and material and definatly not worth what they are being charged. After seeing all the reviews here I will not renew my subscription with them. Disappointing because I really wanted to collect all the models. Is there anywhere else that someone can purchase these models?

love the ships that they bring out. although the ship I would love them to make doesn't appear to be on the potential list of ships to be made... the Elachi Escort it did appear briefly on Enterprise. the triangular shaped ship admittedly is more popular in the online MMORPG Star Trek Online. http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/www/3b/da/3bda481ce3f0e04abe43fd95ab9baefd1376424154.jpg but again would love this ship to be made to add to my ever growing ship collection.

I was hoping for dagra's ship, he was almost a main character in Enterprise series 3. His ship was in quite a few episodes. Way more than some of the ships we have already. Also Dagra was the leader of the Xindi and in the end helped Archer stop the weapon from being used to destroy earth. I asked eaglemoss if they where going to do it, they said no!!!! Im a bit disapointed with that, but such is life......

could you post a 360 view of the gorn ship?

I dont know what the timeline for the special editions are in Aus. We seem to be almost a year behind now. I am waiting for the Kelvin edition to come out.

They're never doing Degra's ship? That sucks. I hope they do the Xindi Weapon as a special.

What about the Talarian Warship? That thing looked cool.

Why does this page not get updated anymore?

Damn you're back after 1 year !

what about jem hader battleship for the star ships collection

Wow, updates!! Really pleased to see the page is live again

more star ships price goes up what you going to do as long the quality is good

When will this collection be complete ???

What's the rarest ship and the most expansive ship in the collection now?

Expensive *

Does anyone know when this will end? The pricing is just plain silly now.

When will this collection end? I dont have unlimited space for all of them to showcase. I thought i was buying 70 which tbh is more than enough, i now have 100+ more than i originally thought i would.

The collection finishes at issue 180.

A pity they didn't deliver on the promised BoBW Cube and a few other long-desired models. Hopefully another licensee will produce a Cube of the same quality as DeAgostini or better to finally fill the void of the missing Eaglemoss one.

Hi, my brother was a sci fi fan, he collected the die cast models from the magazines. Sadly he passed away in June and there is a cabinet with about 20-30 models. Are these still collectible and if so how best to sell. The money will be going to charity.

[REVIEW] Eaglemoss Starship Models, Part II: XL Ships

It’s okay to admit that you want a model of your favorite Star Trek ship on your desk. It’s like having a picture of your wife and kids to look at throughout the day (but DON’T use that analogy with them). The beautiful vessels through which the folks of the 24 th century travel the stars are highlights of any Star Trek series or movies, and the opportunity to appreciate those designs should not be overlooked.

So stands the philosophy of Eaglemoss and their line of Star Trek models. In our review of their most famous line, the Star Trek Starships Collection, we looked at a handful of Eaglemoss’ smaller models. Overall, those ships are great little tributes to the varied starships of the Star Trek universe, and they make the perfect desk ornament or little gift to your fellow Star Trek fans. But at about 5 inches long, some people may want a bigger version of their favorite ship.

Enter the XL line of ships from Eaglemoss. These ships measure about twice the size of their smaller counterparts. Like with most things, bigger is better, and this maxim applies to this model line.

TrekNews was able to get our hands on these XL models, namely:

• U.S.S. Enterprise-E
• U.S.S. Enterprise
• U.S.S. Voyager
• Enterprise NX-01
• U.S.S. Enterprise- D

Much of the praise we gave the smaller models apply to these XL models. The build quality remains the same mix of die-cast metal and plastic, along with Eaglemoss’ supreme attention to detail. Take the NX-01 for example.

XL Enterprise next to regular-sized Enterprise.

The increased surface area allows the metallic lines and  high-definition texture work to really shine, especially next to its smaller counterpart, which was already a great showing for the model. The wide geometry of this ship’s saucer section in Eaglemoss’ model grants a renewed appreciation for Doug Dexler’s design. The XL model really allows the hull’s various details, such as windows, markings, and curvature to attract the viewer’s eye. While the NX-01 isn’t my personal favorite from the  Star Trek  universe, this model is my favorite of the XL collection. It feels solid, looks sleek, and sits on its stand well thanks to a fairly even distribution of weight (more on this later).

Let’s take a look at the original Enterprise.  In contrast to the  NX-01,   the XL size really spotlights how simple the Constitution-class shooting model was. Eaglemoss made no attempt to alter or jazz up the barebones look of the ship, and that’s for the best. The Enterprise is here in her original, plain-looking, 1960s-shoestring-budget glory, and she’s beautiful. There’s a striking difference between the geometric and texture complexity of the NCC-1701 ‘s hull and that of basically every other ship, and this model highlights this simplicity perfectly.

This model should definitely not be hauled away as garbage.

The same downside we mentioned with the regular model line – the fairly weak plastic stand that accompanies each model – applies to these XL models, as well, with perhaps more severity considering the increased model size and differing weight distribution.  Voyager is the worst offender here. Since the ship is quite saucer-heavy (no more evident than looking at a top-down view of the model) , the ship can slip out of its stand with far too much ease. While a bump on a desk won’t hurt the model, it’s best not to let it drop from the desk. Otherwise, Voyager  is an XL model you’ll want to pick up and admire often. Even though we see much of the ship in the show’s seven-season run, it’s often a CGI model. So, the ability to pick out obscure details like the Aeroshuttle that is present underneath the saucer, but never seen disembarked on the show, is fantastic.  While it would have been a pretty cool if Eaglemoss added the ability to move the warp nacelles, prospective buyers should note that this model lacks that feature.

Surely the Aeroshuttle could have come in handy in the Delta Quadrant?

You can even see the numbers of Voyager’s escape pods.

While the regular-sized model line has the best variety (one of my favorite examples is the U.S.S. Buran – it’s okay if you have to go to Memory Alpha for that one), this XL line is limited to only the most popular ships. The ships pictured below are the only XL models available right now. There is the  Enterprise-A  on the way (available for pre-order in May), but obviously pickings are slim.

The current line of XL ships.

Those wanting one of these XL models need to be willing to pay for it. At $75 per model (sans subscription pricing Eaglemoss offers, more on that soon), these ships are three times as expensive as their smaller counterparts, despite being only about twice as big. This might cause some pause for some who might see these XL models as overpriced, but we are assured that the added cost is due to the greater amount of materials built into the model, as well as the extra time it takes to paint the ships. So with that considered, we can offer some advice: if you are looking to get only one or two models from Eaglemoss’ collection, then making that leap on these XL models is worth it. They look great either sitting pretty on their stands or flying around in your hands. But no matter how you use it,  these models offer the viewer a renewed appreciation for the incredible designs of the  Star Trek  universe.

The larger model is great for the Sovereign-class. Why didn’t we get more movies with this beauty?

Those who don’t want to stick to just one or two models can opt for a subscriber option. Those opting for this route start with the XL  Voyager  model for 20% off the retail price, and you’ll also receive three exclusive free gifts worth $100 as part of your subscription and you may cancel at any time. Additional ships will arrive monthly for the same 20% off. Visit st-starshipsxl.com to learn more if you are interested in the subscription. You can also buy the XL Edition Starships online at shop.eaglemoss.com or in-store at your favorite comic shop.

I know its older now, but I can not be the only person that thinks the Eaglemoss models are garbage? I will gladly pick the models apart if asked, but come one someone else has to see how bad they are.

Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection

• View history

Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection was a British magazine / display model collectible partwork publication and product line that was published by Eaglemoss Collections under its Hero Collector imprint and overall supervision of Project Manager Ben Robinson . Authorized and licensed by Paramount Consumer Products , it had been available in a substantial number of countries worldwide.

Each fortnightly issue included a hand-painted [1] ABS and die-cast metal scaled replica of a starship from the Star Trek universe. Notably, an unparalleled variety of ship designs have been produced as display models for this line, many for the first time, beyond the scope of all other mass-production manufacturers. Eaglemoss' Star Trek starship model line had become by far the largest starship model line(s) of any entertainment media franchise ever released by a single company – especially when taking the near-identically executed follow-up Discovery , Online , Universe , and Lower Decks spin-off/sister collections into account as well. Robinson himself has later intimated that a Star Trek starship model collection of this scope is highly unlikely to be surpassed, or even emulated, anytime soon, " I think it’s pretty clear that there are lots of ships wh [ich] ere we did that were really obscure, that nobody’s going to make again. " [91]

Robinson and his team utilized original CGI studio models for reference whenever they are available. [2] A Star Trek Fact Files veteran, reference book author, and custodian of his own Star Trek production art archive, Robinson oversees the preparation of the magazines and the selection, commissioning, and decoration of the starship miniatures. John Ainsworth, Hero Collector's Development Manager, assumed many of Robinson's roles for the production of the miniatures after the first 120 issues.

Robinson has also acted as a co-author and co-editor of the magazine content, which consists of a mix of "in-universe" articles and real world production POV articles dealing with the design and usage of the models in question [3] , alongside Marcus Riley (another former member of the Fact Files team) and Mark Wright , and continued to contribute starship articles, [92] much of which eventually finding its way into the company's lines of spin-off reference book series.

Many production-used 3D studio models have been adapted for use as miniatures. Alongside studio assets, starship designers including Rob Bonchune , Adam Buckner , David Carson , Dan Curry , Daren Dochterman , Doug Drexler , Pierre Drolet , John Eaves , Sean Hargreaves , Alex Jaeger , Matt Jefferies , Greg Jein , Joe Jennings , Koji Kuramura , "Mojo" Lebowitz , Jim Martin , Brandon MacDougall , Ed Miarecki , Michael Okuda , Andrew Probert , Mark Rademaker , Alain Rivard , Nilo Rodis-Jamero , Rick Sternbach , Sean Tourangeau , and "Meni" Tsirbas have built or assisted in the construction of these models, provided the original CG files, or have shared background material about their designs. [4] A number of original models have also been provided by other former production staffers and producers, including David Lombardi and Dave Rossi .

Where existing models were unavailable, unusable, or deemed unsuitable for use, many models had been commissioned by the company and wholly recreated by independent contractors including Bonchune [5] , Lebowitz, Fabio Passaro 's Meshweaver Productions [6] , and Ed Giddings of Cgreactor [7] .

The models were modified, retexturized, and converted into CAD files by these contractors before CAD tooling masters were created at the Holinail Group, [93] Eaglemoss' manufacturing partner in Dongguan, China. 2D renders were often used for the publication's illustrations and newly-created annotated schematics by its art editors in the UK.

Each accompanying twenty-page magazine (measuring 219 × 284 mm, except as noted) featured comprehensive articles about the design, filming, and on-screen appearances of the original studio model(s). Alongside the use of archival material, new interviews were conducted with a number of Star Trek cast members and production staff for the publication. Reference photographs of studio models, production stills, and concept art reproductions are also used extensively. Detailed "in-universe" information about the vessel's history, crew, weapons, and technology was explored within starship profiles and in other feature articles.

Gift premiums and magazine online versions [8] of many issues were also made available to subscribers.

Following the August 2020 conclusion of the Standard Edition in the UK, new releases for the Bonus, Special, XL, shuttlecraft set, and resin dedication plaque sub-collections continued to be produced for the line, as were magazine binders and hardcover reference books. A number of products have also been re-released in new packaging for direct sale through the UK webshop.

Though the "Standard Edition" had already completed its run by then, some of the other sub-collections of the Collection were still releasing issues when on 12 July 2022 all Eaglemoss product lines came to a sudden and unexpected end, as the company was forced to cease its business activities under the UK Insolvency Act – meaning a company is no longer able to pay off its debts. [94] Though having achieved a considerable portion of its goal, i.e. to have all pre- Kurtzman-era Star Trek ships released in one format or another in the Collection , the bankruptcy of Eaglemoss (which became effective on 5 August 2022 , as confirmed by Robinson [95] ) meant that the Collection fell short of its lofty goal in the end – albeit not by much.

In 2023, the company (new) Master Replicas had purchased the rights to Eaglemoss's remaining stock, and started to re-issue various ships ( and books) from the entire line from March onward, which also included a variety of issues Eaglemoss itself had not yet been able to release themselves because of its 5 August 2022 bankruptcy.

Standard Edition issues (UK) [ ]

Standard Edition models commonly measure between four and six inches long and were released fortnightly. A number of these issues were later reissued in new packaging, and can be viewed below under the Collector's Editions section of Repacks.

In the UK, the Standard Edition release run concluded with issue 180 in August 2020, just two weeks shy of a full eight-year run. The cessation of the Standard Edition release automatically entailed the termination of the subscription service for those eligible customers who had opted to take out one. [9] Nonetheless, the 2020 cessation did not spell out the end of the Collection , as additional issues continued to be regularly released afterwards in the various sub-collections, mentioned hereafter, but these had to be ordered separately and individually at the company's webstores – like it always had needed to be, since none of the sub-collections were ever conceived as part of the subscription setup.

Bonus Edition issues [ ]

Bonus Edition issues commonly feature registry variants, concept designs, model ships, ships seen only on background displays, and other designs originating from comics , novels , Star Trek Online , and Ships of the Line calendars , and these often as "extended/soft canon " referred to starships were initially released in similar vein as the regular Standard Edition. The accompanying magazine is in contents similar to the Standard Edition magazines. The early SS Yorktown (first "convention exclusive") and Future USS Enterprise -D (subscription gift item) releases though, were issued in the "Standard Edition" packaging without magazines. Like the Special Editions, a number have been created in close consultation with the production artists who conceived the ships' original designs.

Cloaked USS Defiant in convention box packaging

Those Bonus Editions models selected for convention purposes, were repackaged in redesigned "display boxes" like the one pictured on the right, with the same magazines that came with the Standard Edition, but downsized to 145 × 183 mm in order to fit within the box. Introduced in 2018 for the Collector's Edition , this packaging format became the norm for the Bonus Edition after the cessation of the regular Standard Edition two years later. No binder has been provided for the deviant magazine format by the company while it was in business. This Bonus/Collector's Edition format also became the regular format of choice for the later Star Trek Online Starships Collection spin-off publication, and where a binder for the deviant magazine format was made available.

Some vessels bear Terran Empire liveries and parts (as seen in the mirror universe ), while the Federation fleet seen in the Kelvin Timeline was added to the Bonus Edition releases in 2021, following later adjustments to licensing with CBS. [40]

It was the Bonus Edition that became the replacement format for the (mostly "canon") regular Standard Edition and was meant to yet release "some of the big deal missing ships we haven't got to" left over from that edition, [97] after it had concluded its run in the UK during 2020. The models in the Standard Edition size range (about four to six inches long), commonly debuted at Eaglemoss' Hero Collector convention booths – explaining the choice for the display box packaging – , and became afterwards available as "webshop exclusives". The August 2022 Eaglemoss bankruptcy had cut the intended release run short though.

Unrealized considered Bonus Edition issues [ ]

These concerned issues that were considered, but had not entered the asset production stage yet.

Special Edition issues [ ]

Eaglemoss received licensing to release starships from Star Trek 's alternate reality (officially known as the Kelvin Timeline since 2016) as Special Editions, alongside unique starships and space stations from Star Trek 's prime reality .

Made of the same materials as the Standard Editions, most Special Edition models are about six to eight inches long, and subscribers receive a small discount when purchasing them. The seventeenth release featured a battery-powered internal LED light.

These larger releases are retailed by the company's webshops and a number of other retailers.

XL Edition issues [ ]

A number of "significant" starships from the Star Trek universe have also been produced in a larger size than the Standard, Bonus, and most Special Editions. Released as XL Editions, these models generally measure between eight-and-a-half and twelve inches long, and are available from company webshops and a variety of other retailers.

XL and Standard Edition USS Enterprise models

Following the successful roll-out of the first three of these "Oversized" (or "Large Scale") issues to subscribers and retail, this sub-line was also marketed as the " Star Trek Starships XL Edition " and was launched as a separate subscription partwork on Eaglemoss' US website. [98] The company has plans for about thirty XL issues in total, as of September 2020. [99]

Beginning with XL Edition 22, a slightly smaller 20-page magazine (measuring 227 × 155 mm) is enclosed with each XL Edition, which has been designed to be stored (and retailed) within the box beneath the model. This format was also used for the magazines enclosed with the repackaged Best of XL Edition releases outlined below (in Repacks).

Limited Edition Gold XL Exclusives [ ]

Similar to the displayed models seen in the observation lounge of the USS Enterprise -E and commonly debuting as "Exclusives" for conventions, Limited Edition versions of a number of XL USS Enterprise models are also manufactured with 18-carat gold-plated exteriors and are available in limited quantities.

Shuttlecraft issues [ ]

Shuttlecraft models are smaller than the other releases, are made of metallic resin, include a small standardized stand, and are individually packaged within each four-pack box. Presently, shuttle issues are only available for purchase in four-packs, in all markets. Shuttles may be offered as individual issues and alternate deco (or registry) variants may be manufactured in the future, if further production runs occur. [100]

In January 2015, shuttle issues were previewed to subscribers in Germany. By adding the "Premium" subscription option (for a small monthly fee), subscribers received a new shuttle every twenty issues. The first shuttle reached these subscribers in November 2015 [101] , and only ships from the first two shuttle packs were included in the offer.

An eight-page booklet (measuring 150 × 210 mm, the smallest magazine dimension of all Eaglemoss' Star Trek publications) that contains (exclusively) "in-universe" information accompanies each model. It features master systems display illustrations ( okudagrams ) newly created for each issue by Mike Okuda .

These schematics are also printed onto translucent plastic sheets (measuring 120 × 80 mm) which can be mounted on (included) plastic clip stands.

Rick Sternbach and Tim Earls designed the sheets for the third shuttlecraft four-pack, while Doug Drexler was enlisted to design them for the fifth and sixth sets. Okuda designed the sheets for the seventh set.

Set 1 | Set 2 | Set 3 | Set 4 | Set 5 | Set 6 | Set 7 | Set 8

Repacks [ ]

Starship sets [ ]

Each set includes a fifty-page booklet (measuring 168 × 216 mm) that contains material covering all of the starships in the set, compiled from the previously released individual magazines, as is detailed above. The booklet for both versions of the third set has sixty-five pages to accommodate the content for the extra (fourth) ship. All models are identical to their earlier releases (as Standard or Bonus Editions) and are packaged individually within the box for the set.

Collector's Editions [ ]

Packaging mockup

Debuting exclusively in North America in February 2018 and marketed as the Best of the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection for its first three years, Eaglemoss re-released twelve of its most popular Standard Edition issues in new windowbox packaging with attached J-hooks, enabling the boxes to be hung on pegs at retailers. The models within are identical to their earlier releases.

Downscaled to fit into the box beneath the model, a twenty-page booklet accompanies each starship and its stand. Each "collector's guide" (measuring 145 × 183 mm, a smaller format which fits the box packaging) contains the same content as the larger, original full-sized A4 magazine (as is detailed above) but the issue number is not printed on the cover. Later, in 2019, this packaging style (without the J-hook) became used for the cloaked USS Defiant 2500-copy convention exclusive in the US and UK as well.

In 2020, the range was expanded by six ships and its availability in entirety to the UK was announced as a convention exclusive range, [102] (X) though like in the US, unsold copies ended up in the UK webstore as well. From 2021 onward however, after the Standard Edition range was terminated, the Collector's Edition packaging style became the standard for new outings in the Bonus Edition range.

Eleven more ships, USS Titan NCC-80102 (B05), Pralor Warship (B37A), USS Prometheus NX-59650 (25), USS Phoenix NCC-65420 (112), Federation Attack Fighter (68), USS Excelsior NCC-2000 (8), USS Appalachia NCC-52136 (54), UES Warp Delta (82), USS Equinox NCC-72381 (15), SS Emmette (124), and USS Bozeman NCC-1941 (120) were scheduled for a 2021 (re-)release in this format. That intent however, became thwarted by the COVID-19 pandemic which necessitated worldwide lock-downs, meaning the cancellation of every convention as well. The Titan re-release became one of only two realized, but was not able to reach market because of the lock-downs. [94] The other realized planned release concerned the 500-copy Pralor warship model-only convention exclusive. [61]

Collector's XL Editions [ ]

In 2020, the company began to re-release a number of its most popular XL Edition starship models as the Best of the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection XL Edition , which transitioned to Collector's XL Edition in the following year.

In new "retail-friendly" premium boxes made of thicker cardboard (and the models within held in black foam), lifting the magnetic clasps and opening the gatefold on the box's front allows the model to be displayed (in a windowbox) while still packaged.

A downscaled version of the magazine (measuring 227 × 155 mm) with identical contents to the XL Edition (as is detailed above) is included with each model and is stored (and retailed) within the box behind the ship.

Gift premiums [ ]

Gift premiums (known here as "loyalty gifts") are sent to subscribers and include a binder able to hold sixteen magazines (afterwards becoming the regular, standard binder for sale at the company's webstores), a polyresin USS Enterprise -D dedication plaque, a three-nacelled Future USS Enterprise -D model, and a battery-powered, LED-illuminated PVC Borg Cube. An enamel starship pin was added as a gift in June 2018, which was superseded by a pair of steel bookends in September 2018. [95]

In Japan, early subscribers received a unique, smaller, LED-illuminated PVC Borg Cube after De Agostini , the magazine's local publisher, "declined" to release the UK version of the Borg Cube and manufactured its own. De Agostini also released a key ring as a gift, in lieu of the UK's free magazine binder.

Initially advertised as subscriber "exclusives", the UK version of the Borg cube, the USS Enterprise -D plaque, and the Future USS Enterprise -D model were later retailed to the general public through company webshops. Magazines were not included with these starship models.

Starship dedication plaques [ ]

Painted, scaled, metallic polyresin starship dedication plaques are made available through company webshops and retail outlets, and were designed by Michael Okuda. In late 2018, the company indicated that a "few more" dedication plaques were being planned.

The first release was initially distributed to subscribers as a gift premium.

Commencing in September 2018, US subscribers who opt for a "Platinum" subscription will receive a plaque every ten issues, for an additional ongoing fee.

Reference books [ ]

Designing Starships series [ ]

In October 2016 , Eaglemoss Publications premiered the first volume of the Star Trek: Designing Starships series, a line of hardcover reference books that are primarily comprised of starship design articles from the Starships Collection partworks' individual magazines, combined with new artwork, charts, and expanded material.

Published under the Hero Collector imprint, second editions of the first three volumes and all subsequent books in the series were released by Eaglemoss in mass-market editions, utilizing Penguin Random House 's Publisher Services division.

Shipyards series [ ]

Starship size chart from box set

Star Trek: Shipyards , subtitled The Encyclopedia of Star Trek Ships , is a mass-market hardcover reference book series that presents an "in-universe" chronological history of canon starships, and is published by Eaglemoss Collections through Penguin Random House's Publisher Services division, under its Hero Collector imprint. Starships from the alternate reality ( Kelvin Timeline) and TAS are not covered in this series, and ships seen only on displays will not be incorporated.

Volumes are principally comprised of starship profile articles produced for the Starships Collection partworks, combined with new artwork, charts, and expanded material. The series was characterized by Ben Robinson as an effort to create "an equivalent of Jane's Fighting Ships for Star Trek ". [104] [99]

A Special Edition of the first volume included a model of the USS Enterprise from (Standard Edition) issue 50 of the Starships Collection . [105]

In Japan, the first editions of the first two volumes were published by De Agostini and carried its imprint on the covers. The Books-A-Million Edition of these two books bore variant covers and were exclusively retailed by the American bookshop chain, Books-A-Million. Polish editions of these books were also published by HarperCollins Publishers .

A second edition of the second volume incorporates ships from Star Trek: Lower Decks , Discovery , and Picard .

A "limited edition" three-volume box set included a specially-designed slipcase, a fold-out starship size chart (a 35 × 25-inch poster), and the first, second, and fourth books of the series. [106]

The fifth and sixth volumes explore almost every Borg vessel and starship seen in the Delta Quadrant , and the company has created new CG starship models for many of the VOY ships that were solely created as practical (physical) studio models. [107]

The seventh, eighth, and ninth volumes would have covered major races and ships from the Alpha , Beta , and Gamma Quadrants . The August 2022 bankruptcy of Eaglemoss meant that only the seventh title saw an actual release.

Illustrated Handbook series [ ]

The first volume of the mass-market hardcover Illustrated Handbook reference series comprehensively explores the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D starship and its history, technology, and crew, incorporating updated and expanded content from the Star Trek Fact Files , alongside some new material and artwork. [108]

A Special Edition of the first book includes a starship model (from the first Standard Edition issue of this partwork), and both editions were published by Eaglemoss Collections through Penguin Random House's Publisher Services division under its Hero Collector imprint. [109]

The second volume features the USS Enterprise and USS Enterprise -A , as they were seen in The Original Series , Discovery , and feature films. [110] A model of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A (from Standard Edition issue 72) is included with the Special Edition.

A third volume focuses on the USS Voyager and was slated for release in two editions but its Special Edition (with a model of the ship from Standard Edition issue 6) was "postponed indefinitely" before publication.

The fourth volume covers the Deep Space 9 space station , the USS Defiant , and the Danube -class runabouts from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine .

Many fans consider this series to be the contemporary successor to Pocket Books ' acclaimed Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual s from the 1990s.

Comic book [ ]

A limited edition of 1,000 copies of IDW 's Star Trek: Year Five Issue 6 comic book featured artwork and photography by Nils Walter Khan on its cover, and showcased the XL Edition model of the USS Enterprise .

The comic book debuted at Eaglemoss/Hero Collector 's New York Comic Con booth in October 2019 , where writer Jody Houser , "showrunners" Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing , and cover artist Khan autographed covers for convention attendees. [111] Additional autographed copies were also retailed at later conventions and through company webshops.

Eaglemoss/Hero Collector also retails the Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection partwork , which comprehensively republishes many of IDW's Star Trek titles and a wide range of comics from other publishers.

Non-regular magazine binders [ ]

The gift premium binder, listed above, became the regular, standard Collection magazine binder marketed on the company's webshops. [98] Additional "limited edition" binders with "Federation" and "Alien" starship illustrations on their covers have later been made available at a higher price point to supplement the standard binder design.

Originally released as a "limited edition" exclusive in December 2014, a "Federation & Alien" binder featuring a silver foil Star Trek logo (left) was only retailed for a brief period and did not reappear (on the US shop) until 2021. [100] The separate "Federation" (center) and "Alien" (right) binders, the other "limited edition" releases, later became available from company webshops on an ongoing basis.

When the smaller sized 145 × 183 mm magazine format was introduced for the "Collector's," and post-2020 issues of the "Bonus Editions" sub-collections, a new binder capable of holding the smaller-sized magazine format became required. However, this new binder was never marketed by Eaglemoss while it was still in business – though collectors could have made do with the similarly-sized Online Collection binder which had been released. It was only after the 2022 bankruptcy that new remainder stock owner Master Replicas discovered that the new format binder had just entered production for retail dissemination when the bankruptcy occurred. A small stockpile of these binders of about 60 copies was uncovered, and ultimately sold by them in September 2023. [77] [112]

Marketing [ ]

Uk and german test marketing [ ].

Originally identified as prospective product line during market research for (predecessor company) GE Fabbri 's short-lived Star Trek: The Figurine Collection , the first five Starships Collection issues were test-marketed at retail in England's south-west region beginning in May 2012 with selected regions in Germany – Star Trek 's biggest market after the US and UK – to follow, and the company's website began to solicit UK and German subscriptions. Due to unexpected heavy demand and the resulting production and distribution challenges, new subscriptions were suspended at the end of July 2012. As commonplace, the test issues were accompanied by local TV ads in the selected UK and German testing regions.

Upon receipt of the first five issues, subscribers were advised that the magazine had been suspended and that confirmation of forthcoming issues from the publisher was pending. Gift premiums were not distributed to subscribers. This type of early "test release" is a common practice for partwork publishers, in order to gauge public interest.

UK and Ireland marketing [ ]

In September 2012, a Facebook page was established for the magazine and Eaglemoss subsequently announced that a full UK roll-out of the line was slated for February 2013. New subscriptions resumed on 17 September 2012 and the company confirmed that gift premiums and more issues were forthcoming. Residents of the Republic of Ireland were added to the UK subscriber base in early 2013.

At the very inception of the project, a production run of fifty issues was foreseen, [113] but by the time the project was gearing up for its initial run, the company increased that number to seventy issues and displayed a "provisional list" of ships at the Destination Star Trek London convention in October 2012. A large number of additional issues have been identified by company representatives through social media and interview podcasts.

On 9 January 2013, the company announced that the line would be indefinitely placed on hiatus until a new manufacturer was found, following the closure of their contracted production facility by Chinese authorities.

Starship models produced with the toolings and paint masks from the closed factory subsequently appeared in large-volume online auctions from Hong Kong. The two USS Enterprise -D models were later dubbed " Shadyprise " variants by collectors, due to their somewhat shady origin. Notably, the early Klingon Bird-of-Prey, USS Enterprise -D and Future USS Enterprise -D models feature paintwork that differs markedly from the official releases.

In early April 2013, Eaglemoss sent emails to subscribers stating that the magazine was back in production at a new factory and indicated that shipping would resume in August 2013. This re-launch date was confirmed on the line's newly redesigned website in May 2013 and the first issue was re-released on 21 August 2013.

The Standard Edition-sized starship models are produced in "box scale", designed to fit within a standardized box size for sale at a common price point. The boxes for almost all of these starships (the Standard, Bonus and Shuttlecraft issues) measure 168 × 127 × 51 mm. Smaller (and taller) boxes (measuring 123 × 101 × 80 mm) were supplied for Standard issues 10, 58, 94, 96, 109, 127, 146, and 180, and Bonus issue 22. A larger box (measuring 176 × 176 × 80 mm) was made for the Bajoran Solar-Sailor and another (measuring 164 × 138 × 86 mm) encompassed the Xindi-Insectoid Warship. The dimensions of the boxes for the Special and XL Edition starship models vary greatly.

In all cases, the model can be easily removed from (and put back into) the box without damaging the packaging or model whatsoever. There are no holes made in the models for the stands.

In the UK and Ireland, COMAG UK distributes subscriptions through the Royal Mail while DPD (UK) and the Royal Mail distribute webshop orders. Most products are also available through specialty shops.

International marketing [ ]

US shop banners

Following the successful roll-out of the magazine in the UK and Ireland, Eaglemoss launched the magazine in a number of other territories worldwide, beginning in late 2013. English-language magazines distributed outside of the UK are identical to the UK releases. [101]

In Japan, the (numbered) Standard Edition issues are published and distributed by De Agostini and carry its imprint on the covers. The first six issues were retailed in 2012 in a test marketing run, similar to the initial UK five-issue test release. The subsequent regular Japanese release was marketed differently as magazine and model came standard packaged within a gatefold box, reminiscent of, but not entirely similar to, the later Collector's Edition packaging style. Like it became with the Collector's Edition, the Japanese magazine issues were released in a smaller format to fit within the box. As already stated above , the German release of the line became the only other international release that also saw a (five-issue) test run before its full launch.

John Van Citters , the Vice President of CBS Consumer Products ' Product Development division at the time, supervised the production of the partwork for the licensors and formally announced the expansion of the magazine to ninety regular issues at a panel on 2 August 2014 at the Official Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas. [114]

Further extensions were announced on 11 December 2015 (to 110), 4 September 2016 (to 130), 22 September 2017 (to 150), 25 December 2017 (to 160), and 3 August 2019 (to 180).

A small number of models were manufactured with minor painting errors that were corrected during subsequent production runs. Issues affected include 1, 9, 15, 16, and shuttle issue 08.

The Collection was briefly seen in the 2018 " Star Trek " episode of the Netflix documentary series The Toys That Made Us , where it was characterized as an accurately reproduced product line from a latter-day company that is specifically aimed at adult collectors. It also opined that the line is not a toy line nor typical mass-market merchandise, as it caters to a very specific and relatively small niche in the collector market.

Online contests

In many countries worldwide, products were available at the company's webshops, and through other retailers, where available. In some of the larger sized foreign markets they had also been available by subscription at first. Most products were also retailed by newsagents and booksellers, and by comics, collectibles and gaming shops affiliated with Diamond Comic Distributors . Amazon.com , Anovos , Sideshow Collectibles , ThinkGeek/GameStop , and other retailers marketed a number of releases from this partwork and its Discovery spin-off . Loot Crate also released a small number of models within its Star Trek Mission Crate subscription box line.

Incidentally, the XL, Bonus, and Special editions rarely saw translated magazines, and the German- and Japanese-language regular edition magazines were by the time of the August 2022 Eaglemoss bankruptcy the only two non-English editions left. Over the course of the Collection 's release, most foreign-language magazines later switched over to English-only releases. [102]

When Eaglemoss went bankrupt in 2022, stock held by, or earmarked for, DeAgostini Japan was not part of the bankruptcy settlements and subsequent takeover by Master Replicas contrary to the German-language stock, as it was not owned legally by Eaglemoss but by the Japanese branch of DeAgostini.

Considered issues [ ]

Past prototypes

In a Q&A session on his Twitter page, project manager Ben Robinson wrote, " It's a question of economics, though. If enough people are buying, we'll keep going. We're already doing more ships than anyone ever imagined. Hurrah! " [103]

The project manager had stated that he considered every Andorian , Borg , Dominion , Kazon , Klingon , Romulan , Suliban , Tellarite , Vidiian , Vulcan , and Xindi ship to be "essential" to the collection, and aspired to produce all of the Federation ships seen on-screen. [104]

In October 2019, the company announced that Standard Edition (numbered) issues would conclude with the publishing of issue 180, and later outlined plans to continue to produce more Standard Edition-sized Bonus ships that would have reached market "roughly every three months", beginning around "the middle" of 2021. [115] Bernd Schneider of Ex Astris Scientia , the noted Star Trek reference website, had assisted CG modeler Fabio Passaro by providing reference material for many of these alien ships and lesser-known "ships of the week", mainly from TNG and VOY. [116] EAS and MA member Jörg Hillebrand also contributed reference material for some of these issues. [117] [118]

More "extended-canon" or "soft-canon" Bonus Editions might had been produced, including newly-created models based on concept designs, and more cloaked ships are under consideration. "Battle-damaged" versions of some starships might had been made as XL Editions, while future starships from the older Star Trek films would likely had been released as Special Editions, due to the added costs of producing all-new CG models and toolings from scratch. A few Star Trek: The Animated Series ships might eventually had reached production, possibly alongside ships from later animated Trek series.

Registry , "cloaked", and gold variants might had been continued for release as convention exclusives but all new classes of starship would remain available to subscribers and retail. Robinson had indicated that the company wanted to ensure that missed con exclusives would "not be too painful" for those who could not attend, while still providing "something special" for collectors who did.

Robinson indicated that he hoped that the producers of Star Trek Beyond would allow Eaglemoss to manufacture a USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A model, something they have declined to sanction in the past due to uncertainty about its future appearance.

Eaglemoss had been hoping to produce the classic starship designs created by Franz Joseph as models, and has indicated that his estate had been engaged in negotiations with CBS.

XL Edition USS Cerritos

The company had revealed that the USS Cerritos , USS Titan , and USS Vancouver would be forthcoming models and confirmed that its Star Trek: Lower Decks starships line would debut at retail in January 2022 . Robinson also indicated that the company would manufacture starships from Star Trek: Section 31 and Star Trek: Prodigy . [119] [120] [121] [122]

Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection [ ]

In January 2018, Eaglemoss/Hero Collector launched the Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection partwork, a monthly spin-off publication that features starships from the Star Trek: Discovery series.

The starship models measure from about fifteen to twenty-five centimeters in length, comparable to many of the Special Editions from this collection. Larger "Special Edition" DIS starship models, similar in size to the "XL Edition" models released in this partwork, have also been produced.

As is detailed above, XL Edition models of the USS Enterprise (as it appeared in Discovery ), the USS Shenzhou , and the USS Discovery were also released in this collection, following their release as smaller models in the DIS partwork. A USS Discovery -A refit model is also planned for this line.

In October 2020, the company announced that its forthcoming starship miniatures from DIS (after numbered issue 33), PIC, and SNW would be combined into a new product line, [123] which was subsequently identified as the Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection . (see below)

Star Trek: The Next Generation Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D [ ]

In March 2021, the company launched the Star Trek: The Next Generation Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork, a new line featuring a seventy centimeter-long electronically-lit model of the USS Enterprise 1701-D.

Subscribers construct the die-cast metal and ABS model over 120 kit "stages", and typically receive four kits (sent together) each month. A magazine containing the relevant assembly instructions, some feature articles, and a TNG episode guide accompanies the model parts.

Art prints and die-cast models of the ship's shuttles (in Standard Edition size, as above) are also produced as Special issues of the partwork. [124]

Star Trek Online Starships Collection [ ]

On 6 June 2020 , the company debuted the Star Trek Online Starships Collection , a new partwork featuring four to six-inch die-cast metal and ABS starships, similar in size to the Standard Edition models from this series.

This collection exclusively presents starships from Star Trek Online , the massively multiplayer online role-playing game .

After launching with ten, the company announced that the series would be extended to twenty issues in July 2020 . On 10 August 2021 , project manager Ben Robinson announced that the line would conclude following the release of the twentieth issue, due to an insufficient response at retail. [125]

Developed from a design originally commissioned for the game, Eaglemoss has previously manufactured two starship miniatures (in two distinct liveries) of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-F ( β ) as Bonus Editions within the first Starships Collection , as is detailed above.

Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection [ ]

The Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection partwork and product line premiered in March 2021 .

Each issue includes a (roughly) six to ten inch-long (150 to 250 mm-long, similar in size to Special Editions from this partwork) die-cast metal and ABS scaled starship replica from Star Trek: Picard and/or Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , and the line will later serve as a continuation of the Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection .

Larger Special Edition models may also be produced for the Universe series, though a number of XL Edition ships from DIS, PIC, and SNW will continue to be released in this partwork.

Interactions with live-action star trek [ ].

a A copy of the Promellian Battle Cruiser model (Regular issue 142) was sent by Ben Robinson to Star Trek: Picard ' s Production Designer Dave Blass for a ship in a bottle set decoration that first appeared as a Château Picard fireplace mantel display piece in the Season 2 trailer , [126] like it was in the episode " The Star Gazer ", while making an additional appearance in the episode " Hide and Seek " as part of a childhood memory of Jean-Luc Picard . [127] Designed by series' prop master Jeffrey Lombardi , the 11.5×6×5 inches measuring ship-in-a-bottle model prop turned up later at auction as Lot #178 in Prop Store 's 15-29 November 2022 Star Trek: Picard Seasons 1 & 2 Online Auction , eventually selling on 29 November for US$9,375. [128]

b After the above-mentioned canon appearance of the regular issue Promellian Battle Cruiser model in "The Star Gazer", three more Eaglemoss display models from the "Special Edition" side collection also made an appearance in Picard's childhood memories in the "Hide and Seek" episode alongside the Promellian Battle Cruiser model, which made an encore in the episode; The first one concerned the NX-class refit model (issue SP06) – in the process making the hitherto apocryphal design canon as well – whereas the two other ones concerned the Deep Space Station K-7 (issue SP10), and Regula I (issue SP24) models. A fifth additional Eaglemoss model that was featured concerned issue 11 from the XL Edition sub-collection, that of the Discovery retcon- Enterprise which was seen on the top shelf of the same display where the two space station models were also displayed in. Each of the four additional Eaglemoss models were featured non-modified.

Footnotes [ ]

• ↑ The models were painted freehand and with the use of paint masks (templates), alongside pad and tampo printing processes, while electro-plating is employed for the 18k gold-plated Enterprise -D release. The earliest prototypes are 3D printed in resin and, once approved by Eaglemoss and CBS, were manufactured using a variety of injection, vacuum, and compression molding techniques. [1]
• ↑ Ben Robinson had previously used live-action production CGI studio models to create illustrations for other licensed Star Trek print publications, in the process becoming, at least where the Star Trek franchise was concerned, a pioneer by doing so. He commissioned Rob Bonchune (and others) to render these models for use in the Star Trek Fact Files and its US magazine derivative . Robinson served as project manager, editor and writer of many issues of those publications (incidentally published by one of Eaglemoss Collections' two original constituent parts, GE Fabbri ), foreshadowing his similar role at the Official Starships Collection . Regarding the availability of production-used digital models, Robinson has stated, " There is an excellent archive of ships from Voyager and Enterprise . Less so with the other shows. " [2] To alleviate this shortage of models, Robinson solicited the input of former Digital Muse Effects Supervisor David Lombardi , who turned out to still have a partial database of digital models that Digital Muse had specifically constructed for Deep Space Nine . [3] [4] Years earlier, Lombardi had constructed a digital model of the Enterprise -E as Digital Muse's solicitation model for possible use in Star Trek: Insurrection , and it was his model that was used for the orthographic views in issues 21 and XL3 of the Collection , alongside the beauty views of the later Star Trek Nemesis version created by Digital Domain . (See: Sovereign -class model )
• ↑ Ben Robinson stated that he wrote the first magazines of this partwork in their entirety.

• ↑ Praised by Lebowitz for their high level of detail, Ed Giddings' pre-existing Centaur and Excelsior models, constructed for the canceled 2000 Unseen Frontier reference book project, were deemed as quite suitable for use in the Official Starships Collection , as was his 2010 spin-off build of the refitted Excelsior -class which he had built for Bonchune's USS Enterprise Owners' Workshop Manual reference book. [7] New or replacement CG models that Ed Giddings' Cgreactor has provided for the Collection , as identified online, include issues 8 , 40 , 42 , 46 , 52 , 59, 90, 98 , 103, 123, SP1 , Bonus issues 08 and 19, and XL issue 17.

• ↑ Though some Standard Edition-only subscription services had initially been offered to international customers in those countries that had a dedicated Collection website, most were prematurely terminated due the early closure of these websites , leaving only the UK and north-American subscription services in place in the end. Only open to UK inhabitants for this collection at first, the service was eventually extended to selected categories of non-UK inhabitants, typically those from continental EU countries, for the Discovery and Universe follow-up starships collections as well. In hindsight, it became clear that the overall 2020 termination of subscription services for the Standard Edition was actually intended as a desperate cost-saving measure by the soon-to-be-bankrupt Eaglemoss.
• ↑ International release dates, invariably lagged behind those for the UK home maket, ranging from weeks to years in some rare cases. UK releases started to regularly experience delays beyond the release dates as planned by the company from early 2020 onward due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Brexit -inspired move of the company's warehouse and distribution centre from London, UK, to Waghäusel-Kirrlach, Germany, in early January 2021. (see also footnotes of main article ) It has resulted in a delay ripple effect for the international releases as well, since the UK release was leading for the others – even for Germany and the EU, somewhat ironically. The post-2020 release dates mentioned in all tables, are therefore indications of intention rather than the actual release dates. This applied to all partwork releases by the company.

The original CGI model was designed by Sean Tourangeau and constructed by Ellery O'Connell , but the model was modified by Fabio Passaro for this collection. Project Manager Ben Robinson has later divulged that the Titan was considered an important release for Eaglemoss, as it was at the time the very first non-canon ship they released in the "Bonus Edition" side-collection. [37] Robinson had indicated at the time that, like with the preceding Yorktown issue, 5,000 copies was the minimum pre-sale number required for any petition to be successful, which was apparently achieved.

• ↑ Andrew Probert's USS Enterprise -C concept design appeared (in profile) in a six-ship relief sculpture of vessels named USS Enterprise , displayed on a wall in the USS Enterprise -D's observation lounge .
• ↑ The scale of the USS Enterprise -C Probert concept model was calculated using Andrew Probert's scale chart, indicating that that the "real" ship was intended to be 1721 feet (or 525 m) long. [40] This information was not stated in the magazine.
• ↑ The length of the "real" Phase II USS Enterprise is not stated in the magazine so scale was calculated using Kennedy Shipyards' specifications, placing the length of the ship at 301.55 m. [41] Designed for use in Star Trek: The Motion Picture , Andrew Probert lengthened the Enterprise refit to a thousand feet (304.8 m), "just a few feet longer than it was", in reference to Matt Jefferies' Phase II ship dimensions. Computer screens also displayed the Phase II Enterprise design in the first two Star Trek films . ( Designing a refit- Enterprise for Phase II )
• ↑ The USS Defiant model features phosphorescent paintwork to simulate the starship's appearance when it became trapped in Interphase . Chronologically, it was the seventh Bonus issue released but it is identified as the tenth in Eaglemoss' catalogs.
• ↑ Scale of the "real" Voyager concept ship was based on a length of 1,250 feet (381 m), as stated by Rick Sternbach on the Unofficial STSS Facebook page on 28 September 2018. [42]
• ↑ Following a successful online fan petition championed by The Trek Collective and Geekology , [43] (X) models of the USS Bonaventure , which originated in the 2006 Ships of the Line calendar and its book derivatives , were produced. The CGI model was constructed by the ship's designer, Meni Tsirbas .
• ↑ The length of the "real" Bonaventure is not stated in the magazine so scale was based on an estimate of 265 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [44]
• ↑ Both Enterprise -F models included an A5-sized printed insert bearing a code for a free Tier-5 Odyssey class ( β ) tactical cruiser and exclusive Ship Material and Ship Upgrade tokens for the Star Trek Online PC game. The magazines contain the same content but have different covers.
• ↑ A limited edition of 2500 cloaked (translucent resin) USS Defiant models debuted on 3 October 2019 at the New York Comic Con , and was also retailed on the 25th of the month at the Destination Star Trek convention in Birmingham, England. A smaller magazine (measuring 144 × 182 mm) is included within its windowbox package. [45] [46] [47] (X)

• ↑ The length of the "real" Klingon D4 concept is not stated in the magazine so scaling was based on an estimated length of 145 meters, equal to that of the Klingon Raptor. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [49]
• ↑ The diameter of the "real" Cardassian orbital weapons platform was not stated in the magazine and was estimated at 120 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [50]
• ↑ Tiny hull markings painted on the outer rim of the USS Reliant Concept's saucer (and behind its bridge) identify the model as the "USS Antares ", whereas its other hull markings are correct (for Reliant ).
• ↑ Starting in 2021, the Bonus Edition side collection dispensed with the packaging format of the standard edition which had just been suspended perminently previously, and went hencefort with the Collector's Editions packaging and magazine format from issue 26 onward as standard.
• ↑ 60.0 60.1 60.2 60.3 All scheduled, but cancelled Eaglemoss issue releases had already entered regular production when the company went bankrupt and commercial quantities in the 500/2000-copy range of the display model at least had actually been produced by the manufacturer in China before production had to cease. [51] [52] They were acquired from the administrators by (new) Master Replicas along with the regular remainder stock, and sold to the public after all through their webstore, starting in April 2023 with the XL edition of the USS Stargazer and the regular edition of the USS Vancouver from the main and Lower Decks collections respectively, [53] several of them selling out within a day. Third-party UK and Far Eastern eBay retailers who had managed to get their hands on a handful of these unreleased Eaglemoss issues previously – and selling them at hugely inflated prices – , had already reported that these previously unreleased models came without the magazine, they apparently not having entered the regular print-run yet by the time of the bankruptcy, [54] (X) a state of affairs confirmed later on by the ones marketed by Master Replicas. It turned out a short while later though, that in the cases of the unreleased Special and XL issues at least, digital magazine versions were actually completed. Master Replicas only included (physical) magazines if they had already been packaged with the model (which was for the previously released issues not always the case, explaining in the process the large stock of back issues), some of which in German, the only foreign language version (besides Japanese, which however fell under the auspices of DeAgostini) still being printed by the time Eaglemoss had gone bankrupt; an 100,000-copy magazine (back-)issue stock did exist at two printer-owned warehouses somewhere (possibly also holding magazines of the unreleased issues as well), but the printer refused to release them until debt owned by the bankrupt Eaglemoss was fulfilled in full. As the new formal (model) inventory owners, Master Replicas had entered into legal negotiations with the disgruntled printer and was able to resolve the issue in August 2023. [55] [56] [57] The sale of this magazine stock started on 26 December 2023. [58]
• ↑ 61.0 61.1 Originally announced as the Pralor vessel in the February 2019 survey . It was initially assumed by Master Replicas that neither model nor magazine for this issue had entered the manufacturing stage yet when Eaglemoss went bankrupt, as only a prototype model (in Pralor vessel livery) was included in an earlier batch of stock received from overseas. That prototype model became offered as a reward for the winner of an online competition Master Replicas ran on their Twitter account in July 2023. It was only afterwards that it was discovered that the model had actually entered regular production, and the company subsequently sold an uncovered 2000-copy Cravic ship variant stock on 1 September 2023. [59] Not only that, but a short while later a smaller stock of 500 Pralor warship variant models was also uncovered which had been intended as a model-only convention exclusive. It went on sale by ballot at a higher price point on 2 October with the proceeds earmarked for charity, though twenty copies turned out to have suffered transportation damage beyond salvation. [60]
• ↑ From the proposed 8th season of DS9 as seen in the What We Left Behind documentary and named for Emmett Till , a 14 year-old African-American boy who was lynched in 1955. Designed by John Eaves .
• ↑ The Special Edition Deep Space 9 model does not include a display stand.
• ↑ The length of the "real" USS Enterprise from the 2009 film was not stated in the magazine. The ship was designed to be 366 m long but was scaled up by a factor of two for some sequences. 725.35 m (used here to calculate scale) is the length indicated by the film's Blu-ray disc. [61]
• ↑ The magazine's cover states that the Kelvin is 315 m long (used here to calculate scale) but the ship was also scaled at 457.2 m and 655 m during the film's production.
• ↑ Diameter of K-7 is not stated in the magazine. Scale calculated using Ex Astris Scientia's estimated (approximate) diameter of 450 m. [62]
• ↑ Length of the USS Enterprise XCV-330 is not stated in the magazine. Scale calculated using the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology 's stated length of 300 m.
• ↑ The length of the Klingon Warbird is not stated in the magazine so scale was calculated using an estimated length of 350 m, as indicated by Ex Astris Scientia. [63]
• ↑ The "real" Kobayashi Maru 's size is not stated in the magazine. Scale is based on Ex Astris Scientia's estimated length of 562 m. [64]
• ↑ Spacedock stands approximately 225 mm high when displayed on its stand.
• ↑ Scale derived from placing the "real" V'ger 's length (after shedding its energy cloud) at 78,000 km, as stated in the novelization and seen in a film outtake. The magazine cover states the vessel's length is 300 million km, placing the scale at 1:1363636363636. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [65]
• ↑ The Planet Killer features internal electronic lighting, requiring two LR41 button cell batteries that are not included with the model.
• ↑ The Planet Killer model's scale was based on an estimated "real" length of 5 km. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [66]
• ↑ A full-sized magazine (with a typo in its title) was included with the 18 karat gold-plated USS Enterprise -D model that was released in the UK. The model began to be retailed by the US e-shop on 23 December 2019 but did not include a magazine when first shipped. The model is enclosed in a Standard Edition box, within a printed outer sleeve that correctly identifies the product as the "Gold Model of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D".
• ↑ The size of the "real" Vulcan Warp Sled is not stated in the magazine so scaling was based on the 48 meter length printed on the poster included with Eaglemoss' Star Trek: Shipyards - Starfleet & the Federation Box Set . Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [67]
• ↑ Regula I stands approximately 225 mm high when displayed on its stand.
• ↑ 77.0 77.1 Starting with issue 25, a fifth magazine size dimension variant was introduced for the "Special Edition" sub-collection; the magazine was downsized from the hitherto regular large A4 format to the smaller 176 × 227 mm dimension in order to fit within the box packaging, just as the similar case would be with the Bonus Edition sub-collection later that year, though at 145 × 183 mm that magazine size variant would become even smaller. Collectors found themselves confronted with another magazine size variant yet again, and one for which, unlike most other size variants introduced after the Standard Edition was terminated, no binder was ever provided.
• ↑ The scale of the Son'a Collector was based on a "real" ship length of 5000 feet (1524 m), based on John Eaves' concept drawing, courtesy of Wixiban.com.
• ↑ The Eaglemoss version of the station differs in several respects from the one featured in DS9 : " Apocalypse Rising " (its only canon appearance) because of the artistic license taken with the production model; firstly, the elaborate antenna array on top is for the Eaglemoss version switched to the bottom, and secondly, a fourth, lower arm was added at the rear of the CGI model, which had never been there on the production-used studio model (see main article for further clarification), making this outing one of the most apocryphal and egregious – for a company that prides itself for its "accurate" representations of canon models, that is – renditions by Eaglemoss of a structure that has appeared in canon.
• ↑ Later reseller (new) Master Replicas has confirmed that this was the very last "Special Edition" issue to have entered production, with no others planned yet at that moment in time. [68] (X) This model too came without a magazine – even though a digital mock-up had actually already been completed [69] – , but 1250 of them were produced before the cessation of model production. [70] .
• ↑ The final production version of the XL USS Thunderchild model does not have the ship's name printed on the saucer, in line with the studio model's appearance in First Contact . Inadvertently, a small number of models were released (mainly to Brazil) that had purple-painted impulse engines instead of grey. [71]
• ↑ Scale was calculated based on the "real" Akira -class' length being placed at 440 meters, as is printed on the XL magazine's cover. A length of 464.43 meters, as is printed in the Standard Edition magazine, was not used here but would result in a scale of 1:2101. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [72]
• ↑ The XL Edition Deep Space 9 model includes a display stand.
• ↑ The XL Edition USS Shenzhou model erroneously bears mirror universe Terran Empire markings on its nacelles, rather than Starfleet logos. Beginning with this issue, slightly smaller magazines (measuring 227 × 155 mm) were enclosed with all XL Edition models, now sized to fit within the boxes.
• ↑ The only time that no new render of the CG model was made for the cover; instead, the exact same render was used as the one used seven years earlier for regular issue 36.
• ↑ While (new) Master Replicas sold the model without the magazine, a digital magazine mock-up had actually already been completed. [73]
• ↑ The Limited Edition (XL) version of the 18-carat gold-plated USS Enterprise -D is identified as the "Gold USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D" on its box and the "USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (Special)" on its stand's label. It was made available for pre-order from company webshops (with only 1000 copies available worldwide) as a convention exclusive for the New York Comic Con x MCM Comic Con Metaverse online event (8-11 October 2020), and was first shipped (in a premium "Best of" box) to US customers in January 2021 and to UK customers during the following month.
• ↑ The Limited Edition (XL) version of the 18-carat gold-plated USS Enterprise was made available for pre-order from company webshops (with only 500 copies available worldwide) in late April 2021.
• ↑ When (new) Master Replicas received its stock acquired from the Eaglemoss administrators, it was discovered that the model was produced in larger quantities than originally announced, coming in at roughly twice the number Eaglemoss said it would. [74] Master Replicas planned to sell them in two batches to the public after all through their webstore in May and July 2023, [75] though it was eventually decided to forego the two-batch sale and stick to an one-time-sale only format on 26 May after all, [76] and where it sold out within the hour. [77] This was the second model for which Master Replicas strictly adhered to its recent 1-copy/1-customer rule, which the company had conditionally instituted for specific items, [78] the first one having been the Enterprise -E XL3 issue. [79]
• ↑ The Type-7 shuttlecraft was constructed from Andrew Probert's concept design that appeared on LCARS displays, at the designer's request.
• ↑ The Med Evac shuttle model is marked as shuttle 43, a shuttle that didn't have a red livery in the film.
• ↑ In the second, third, and fourth editions of the Star Trek Encyclopedia , information about this Hawking was added to the entry about the original Type 7 Hawking while a diagram of a Type 6 shuttlecraft appeared alongside, which might explain the designation used here. Both the miniature and the full-sized shuttle used in Star Trek Generations for the Hawking were slight redresses of one of the Galileo -type shuttlecraft shuttles built for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier . The Type 6 was also originally constructed from another one of the Final Frontier shuttles.
• ↑ An early production run of this 2018 re-release erroneously omitted the USS Enterprise -B model and included the USS Enterprise -E model. Free replacement ships were provided to customers by the company.
• ↑ After the August 2022 Eaglemoss bankruptcy, (new) Master Replicas sold the stock of the Titan convention exclusive through their webstore in May 2023, divulging that a little over a 1,000 copies had been produced of this format version. [80] Ben Robinson had observed that a handful of copies had fallen into the hands of "scalpers" who sold them at hugely inflated prices on eBay. [81] Having eventually become canon in 2020 through Lower Decks though, was actually the very reason for its inclusion in the otherwise entirely canon Collector's Edition convention exclusive range.
• ↑ Distribution issues resulted in some subscribers receiving their gift premiums much later than the scheduled intervals indicated on the magazine's subscription sites. Nonetheless, the magazine's Terms and Conditions state that the company had the right to modify this schedule (and the gifts) unilaterally. For American and Canadian subscriptions, the gift premiums were scheduled for much later subscriber milestones than had been the case with all other territories.
• ↑ The bookends were previously released as a Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection gift premium and were added as gift premiums for new Starships Collection subscribers in September 2018.
• ↑ This enamel pin was previously released as a FanSets product and was added as a gift premium for new subscribers between June and August 2018.

Variant standard binder

• ↑ Robinson had actually been mulling over the concept as far back as 2012 when he worked on the two ( Star Trek ) Owners' Workshop Manual s for Haynes Publishing , " I think the logical thing to do, and I haven’t even said this to Haynes, would be a Starfleet shipyard. I’m actually working on a collection of small model Star Trek ships. We’re collecting all the different CG models together as reference and then producing die-cast scale-model ships. These ships, like the Akira or… you can get much more obscure, like the Equinox or the Prometheus… they’re a big part of what makes the franchise cool for people, and there’s been remarkably little done about them. So if Haynes come back and say, “That went really well. What do we do next?” I think that’s what I would suggest to them. " [82] As it turned out, Haynes was not interested in Robinson's ideas, and what he had in mind eventually became the Eaglemoss Shipyards book series. In August 2020, Eaglemoss/Hero Collector released a similar shipyard book, entitled Battlestar Galactica Shipyards , that focused on spaceships from the Battlestar Galactica franchise ( ISBN 1858756111 ), whereas a second book, Battlestar Galactica: Designing Spaceships ( ISBN 1858758009 ), was announced for an initial release in July 2021, but which was postponed to 5 October 2021. [83] Like their Star Trek counterparts, both titles originate from magazines articles first published in its related partwork from the same publisher.
• ↑ Since it first became available, the "Federation & Alien" (left) binder has been retailed continuously by the company's German webshop and was still in stock as late as 2021 – albeit language-adapted. [84]
• ↑ Aside from those countries where it had entered into joint ventures with established outside publishing partners (such as De Agostini in Japan), Eaglemoss has utilized Data Base Factory for its customer service, distribution, translation, and editorial services for the UK and non-English language areas. Data Base Factory is now a subsidiary of CCA International Inc.
• ↑ The company's discontinuation of non-English-language magazine releases were accompanied with not only the closure of the relevant official websites that had operated since the debut of the Collection in non-English territories, but also with the (premature) termination of subscription services in the foreign-language territories those websites had covered.
• ↑ In conjunction with the expansion from seventy to ninety issues, Robinson later confirmed that former Star Trek Producer Dave Rossi had made the entire starship database of the remastered Original Series available to the publication. [85] From this acquisition, Robinson scored a coup for his project as it constituted the first time that the remastered Original Series ships, particularly those specifically constructed for the production, [86] were made available for products produced for the general public. This availability enabled Robinson to incorporate several of these into the starships lineup past issue 50 (including issues 60 and 63) and the run increase enabled him to slate more for release in later issues. [87] Rob Bonchune contributed new meshes for issues 57 (though strictly speaking, this was Bonchune revisiting the model he had already constructed for Robinson in 1999 which had made its debut in Star Trek: The Magazine  Volume 1, Issue 4 ) and 62 , as the remastered TOS CG models had not reached Robinson by the time the models were first required. However, these models were not quite production-ready, as CBS Digital had used Autodesk Maya software for their CGI effects at the time and the models needed to be converted into LightWave 3D , the software package of choice for the vast majority of Star Trek digital modelers. Robinson assigned Fabio Passaro, among others, to this chore. [88] Ironically, CBS Digital had originally bought the majority of the "hero" ship models from Finnish digital modeler Petri Blomqvist but had to convert them to Maya as he had constructed his models in LightWave. ( Sci-fi & fantasy modeller , Vol. 26, p. 48-50) If his models were to be used (such as for the planned Terran Empire Enterprise extra issue), then they need to be reconverted back into LightWave.
• ↑ Following an unsuccessful search and appeal to a number of past Star Trek production artists, it appeared that the original CG models created for Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek Nemesis have been lost, necessitating Robinson's decision to commission all-new models for the Collection . [89] [90] Robinson has also commented that some existing models might be in file formats that require computer software that no longer exists, sometimes due to the use of proprietary 3D software in the past. In addition, subsequent upgrades to LightWave software has resulted in alterations to the current appearance of some production-used models, as some legacy features (including some shaders) are no longer supported.
• ↑ Both incarnations of the Adam / McQuarrie -designed Planet of the Titans USS Enterprise study models (that were briefly seen on-screen as unidentified background ships) were slated for production as miniatures (with new CG models created by Eaglemoss) but after years without change in their licensing status by the licensor, Ben Robinson conceded that they "probably won't happen" due to legal ambiguities.

Overall, this is a really nice model, and while it may not add much to the original smaller version of the ship, the XL Enterprise -B it is a well constructed model that nicely contributes to rounding out the line of Enterprises on your display shelf.

If the  Excelsior -class Enterprise-B is a ship you’d like to add to your personal fleet, you can get the 10.5″ starship model from Eaglemoss’ US web shop for $74.95, and in the UK you can pick it up for £49.99.

There are also a pair of new concept models on the way from Eaglemoss, set to debut for the first time at San Diego Comic Con this week: a pair of never-build shuttlecraft prototypes!

The first is one of Matt Jefferies’ early designs for the Original Series (NCC-1701/5), a rounded craft which would have been impressive on-screen, but difficult to build for production in the 1960s.

The second, a sleek design created for the cancelled  Star Trek: Phase II series in the 1970s (NCC-1701/9), with fixed flight wings. If you’re at SDCC, they’ll be on display along with all of Eaglemoss’ other offerings at Booth #4337.
