I got my sphere and defiant yesterday, but the nose on my defiant was broken off in the package.  *sad face*

 

SAME THING here....the nose was snapped clean off and sitting by the warp nacelle in the package when i opened it. The Sphere is pretty cool too, I wasnt looking forward to that one too much but I really like it now. Looks pretty neat.

Oh I agree with you dude. However if you're referring to Vorlon's problem, that'd be quite tricky to fix, and I myself would swap that out.

Looking at the amount of people asking for replacement Akira-class ships on Facebook though, purely because nano meter sized writing said 'Federajon', and I not only agree with you, but have to actively avoid it now, as it really gets me down. Serious manufacturing errors, fair enough. Tiny smudges or spelling mistakes on letters the size of an Ant's testicle, well, bit of the old phaser on stun at point blank. :)

 

Those spelling mistakes make those sought after later down the road, make them collectible :) Like the DST Ent B with Excelsior pennants, which i Missed myself grr...

Sorry to hear about the broken ships.  I know I've had my fair share, some due to my own carelessness, some incomplete/shipping issues.  Never fun.

 

 

 

Great to see pics of the new EM offerings, speaking of, my regular look at the official ship list page paid off again today:
 
New pictures of issues 18 and 19 (Bajoran Sailor and the Stargazer) have been posted:
 
18.jpg 19.jpg
 
Both might just be pics of the models.  And newly announced as well we have:
 
em_list_update_2014_02_20-44825730.jpg?t
 
Newly added this time are issues 36-40; the Grissom, Andorian Cruiser, Delta Flyer, Romulan Drone (from Enterprise) and the Second Excelsior class release the Enterprise-B.  I think we were aware that all the newly listed were planned but it's nice to actually see them and know the further order.  I'm still only up to issue 9 and I'm already overwhelmed I wonder where I'm going to be able to put all of these cool ships.   :lol:

Pretty excited for the Delta Flyer, B, and Andorian Cruiser. I have a feeling the delta flyer is going to look huge next to the rest of the ships.

 

Really hoped for the C before the B, they better not save it until the 2nd to last Enterprise, I've wanted a good representation of that ship for so long.

 

Never liked the Oberth, but ill take it for the line.

Looking at that Stargazer, I really want some Miranda variants, like Sisko's Saratoga and the Bozeman.

Oberth, Delta Flyer, and 1701-B, I'll take for sure, love all three. The only one I haven't bought so far is the Borg Sphere (friend got it, and when I saw it in person, I didn't regret skipping it - Borg's are just bumpy shapes :P ).

After the Equinox, the ones on the list I'll be getting will be the Ferengi, Dauntless, Stargazer, V'orcha, 1701-E, Honshu (Nebula), Prometheus, Maquis, Jem'Hadar Bug, Valdore, Orinoco, Hideki, Oberth, Delta Flyer and Enterprise-B.
Few maybes include the Bajoran Solar Sailor (lovely design), Tholian, Surok and 2152 BoP.

I looked back a few pages, but I didn't see much discussion on Excelsior. Do people have it in hand yet? How is it?

 

I still only have one of these, the Romulan Warbird, but it is beautiful. It barely stays in the stand, but I can live with that for how excellent the ship looks. I should be getting Defiant in the next box from my comic shop guy, and I can't wait.

 

Stargazer, Enterprise B and Delta Flyer look fantastic, and I'll probably get the Grissom, too.

On page 28 I did a comparison between the EM Celsior and the Hot Wheels one.

Basically it's nice from the top, but not the greatest from the bottom. Its also missing some scult details like the Deflector.

I'm excited for the Bajoran sailing vessel.  I always wanted the micro machine version and never wanted to pay for it.

Cool, thanks, good pics. I need to unpack my Hot Wheels ships, I don't remember if I have Excelsior (or is that from the most recent wave, in which case I know I don't have it). I think I like the HW version better, and now I need to go cancel the order I made earlier today on BBTS for the EM Excelsior. If I can.

The HW Celsior is indeed from the new wave, probably one of the best HW ships I have.

I'm really hoping they fix the issues the Celsior has when they release the B, since it's over a year away I like to think they will.

Well, I broke down and bought my first ship. Voyager arrived today and I love it. I'm seriously thinking about getting into the sub now.

I don't get why people say Voyager isn't that good. To me it looks exactly like it did on the show.

So far the sub has been great, every ship I've gotten has been awesome (except the refit), it's totally worth it. Plus if you have any issues EM will typically take care of you, their customer service is great.

I thought Voyager was great as well. Some of the paint detail seemed a little softer than some of the other ships, but it wasn't bad.

I don't think you'll regret it. I'm not quite sure where I'm going to display them all, is my problem. I just love the variety of the figures, and so far customer service has been great for me.

Check facebook this morning just for some new pictures, and saw that the beings there have found a reason to send the Equinox back (and by send it back, I of course mean, claim a second one free). See if you guys can spot it, and if you do, take into account the size of the model:
