Starfleet Doc

Still havent seen Fesarious, VGer, Whale Probe, Sona Collector or Battleship, The Scimitar, Scorpion Attack Craft, Epsilon 9, Office Station, Regula 1, Jupiter Station, Midas Array, Friendship One, The Think Tank, Kazon Cruiser, etc.... im really disappointed to not see any of these listed.

I really hope to see at least some of these included soon.

Guess not. Just got the Jenolan and Smuggler shipment notice. Checked the webstore and theyve got the Artic One but not the Rhode Island....

But in bigger news, the Titan is available for preorder at 24.95 (USD). I thought these were gonna be special edition sized but the description states approx 5.25 inches. But whatever; im very happy to preorder that bad boy.

Just got a shipment notification for issues 102-103. So glad we got back on track earlier than sept. Still waiting on issues 98-99.

Did I miss something?  I just received my latest shipment, and see that it contains #83, Bajoran Troop Transport, and #85, Federation Holoship.  What happened to #84, the NX-Alpha?  I don't think this is a packaging error, as in hindsight, the tracking email stated the shipment included 83 & 85.  Anyone else not get 84?
 

God i love everything theyre making up but my wallet is crying.... lol

As promised, heres the first shot of my display. Its still a WIP.

Warp speed Anton Yelchin!  You will be missed.

Been a while since I posted in here as there's been nothing of note worth posting about, until just now.

A guy on the facebook page posted a photo he took at what I assume is London Comic Con. It shows various yet-to-be-released ships (nothing that hasn't been shown off before), but most of which are in the 'pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming category'.
He also mentioned that the guy there (whom I assume was Ben Robinson) sadly stated that they would not be doing any larger models of the Enterprises, due to Diamond Select's license - gutting to be honest, especially considering the output of that company...

Anyway, this picture has one AMAZING thing in it, that I'm so happy about:

The Cousteau's warp nacelles are pivoted DOWN, positioned in flight mode as opposed to the docked mode seen on the old 'sculpture' from years ago:

So yeah, I can't wait to get the Aeroshuttle (huge model!), the Cousteau, and that gorgeous Romulan Shuttle.

So whats the vessel beside it? Its not the troop transport and looks kinda off for the flight trainer....

Figure this: 100 years after the original Enterprise, look at the Enterprise D. Imagine you had no visible lineage between. No refit, A, B or C to compare with. See while they have some basic, vague similarities yet the D is vastly different.

Now, i believe the Enterprise J was set in the 26th century, 200 years after Enterprise D-E timeframe. Same thing.... We know nothing of lineage between them. Whats to say federation technology advanced so the style was no longer needed?

Take a look at the Relativity in the 29th century.... Vastly different from the J at nearly 300 years later.  

That battle had a dauntless and a few other re-used federation ships, but we see no new designs other than a schematic of the J and a glimpse of the hull in one sector.

Overall, the only similarity i really drew to the NX01 was the deflector mounted on the prow of the saucer... To me it looks like an anorexic child related somehow to the E... But gorgeous!
God i want to know more about this ship!!!!!

Detail seems to be hit and miss: great on some, good on others and okay for a few and a couple that if i wasnt singularly displaying, would be at the back of the case. I ended up getting a media case for my display method. These fit nicely there when theyre turned to the side slightly.

Hoping to see Enterprise J revealed soon along with issues 76-90... Make that 110 announced.

I just talked to EM about an unrelated issue and the rep was going to take my info and pass it on to theyre US reps. Apparently theyre opening a US based operation for customer service ("sister division"). No word on POC info yet, but i found that interesting and want to pasd the word so my fellow collectors were up to speed.

Also, Akira is fantasic, Sabre and Steamrunner are gorgeous and Norway is superb. I cant wait to have my First Contact Armada complete, hopefully with the complete set that includes that pesky Millenium Falcon.

Before ya'll crucify me, it DID have a one second screen appearance, so its canon technically....
