Don't come to Germany then. Prometheus for example won't be shown over here until mid August. And it's in theatres everywhere else in Europe...

I'm stoked, too.
With the Star Wars starship partwork, the subscriber bonuses were not offered to North America, sadly. Or to non-subscribers anywhere. But a few have turned up on eBay.
Speaking of eBay, the Romulan Warbird has turned up as Issue #5, so the NX-01 was indeed #4.

I phoned them on thursday, and they said they hadn't sent out any issues yet due to a stock shortage!
On the plus side, these models look really sweet!

Some more mixed news: my pal Boris from the RS forums posted:
Today, my contact in the UK (who received all 5 issues) sent me the letter he just got, it's posted below.
So it looks like they floated the first 5 issues as we suspected they would, and now they've "paused" subscriptions while they ramp up production for a proper roll-out. BTW, the dude told me that he did not receive any of the "free" ships. I thought the AGT Ent was supposed to ship after the 3rd issue, hmmmm.
It could be a few months until they're back on shelves or being delivered again. If I hear anything more from him, I'll let youze guys know.
I'm still waiting for my #1 to arrive, too. Don't know what happened to my package, hopefully it's just delayed by the Denebian Slime Devils at Customs. Harrumph.

Well last night I finally got my 1st issue, issue 3. This is the Klingon Bird Of Prey and it looks excellent.
Inside was a little typed note saying :-
Dear subscriber,
Due to demand we are currently out of stock of issues 1 and 2. As soon as they are available, they shall be sent out.
Regards,
The Publisher
I haven't got the note in front of me, but this was basically the gist of it.
Take care,
Matty-lad

Not so much as a letter of apology. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and ask to speak to someone who might actually know what's going on.

Hey Destructor,
So how did you get on then? I've just got back off my honeymoon and have now picked up issue 2 from the post office. I agree it's getting annoying. I've now only got issues 3 and 4 even though money's been taken out.
Fingers crossed more will be on the way soon.........
Take care,

At least one of us is getting ships out of this. Could we see some pics?
Hope you enjoyed your holiday!

First, the Enterprise-D is exceedingly pretty:
Note the specular reflection highlighting the ACCURATELY COLOURED aztec pattern!
Full album of pictures here
The BOP is a little less impressive, though:
The main body is under-detailed and a bit doughy-looking, but the wings are nicely detailed, as is the engine section. The blogger confirms that they are not articulated, though.
I spotted that one on this dude's blog.

I have read that issues #1 to #5 are now starting to trickle out to UK subscribers in greater numbers, that's good news. But still no news of issues beyond #5 yet.
I don't think that the D's saucer separates, no one's mentioned it, anyway. Then again, Eaglemoss didn't mention that some of the ships have zamac/white metal parts, either.
My Ent-D never arrived (lost in the post, apparently) but I got a refund from the eBay seller. But I'm quite bummed out about it: it looks so nice. I had reserved some choice shelf space for it but now there's nuthin' but vacuum. So despite my efforts, I'm in the same Pit Of Despair as many of youze guys.
BTW, sorry I didn't post that issue contents/bonuses info here at TTF. Thought that I had, my bad.
