Think of them as Eaglemoss product-sized vehicle replicas, and they're launching the line with ALIENS! Up first is:

• Alien – Space Jockey
• Alien – Derelict Engineer/Space Jockey Ship
• Aliens – M577 Armored Personnel Carrier
• Aliens – UD-4L Cheyenne Dropship with spring launching M577 Armored Personnel Carrier

Space Jockey and APC:

Well, I'm DEFINITELY getting a Derelict! Not sure about the rest, even with the knowledge of a Dropship and APC set akin to something like Thunderbird 2 and 4 from matchbox, but this is another great product line from NECA.

EDIT: More information and reveals from this line at New York Toy Fair.

I still have my micromachines action fleet drop ship, but these look awesome and I will definitely get them!

What a time to be alive!

Read about these a few months ago. Aren't they a little bigger than the EM stuff though. Looking good but the price point.....not so good. Still got some of my MM stuff as well,lol.

 

EDIT: Never mind about the price point. I saw the new price for these that I'm a LOT happier with,lol.

[Prometheus]

Wow... they added the Nostromo and the family rover thingy from the deleted scene in Aliens.

Yeah the price point is the same as Eaglemoss in the US ($20 each). I'm curious to know how that'll translate into pounds though, as Eaglemoss are completely fair with that - in fact, I think the UK price is still a bit cheaper than the US price. Basically, if these are £10 each, I'll get the lot. If they're £20 each, I'll just get the ships and Narcissus.

[robster]

Far too often shops like Forbidden Planet just do the 20 bucks is 20 quid thing,which is TOTALLY wrong! One of the reasons I always wait with buying stuff till I'm in the US,where I can always get it cheaper. Sometimes I order online,but not very often.

 

These look really cool though,so might get some of them.

 

J-R!

[AndyW]

So in the UK is our only option FP for these then?

 

I very much doubt at 6" (if I saw that right) these will be £10, I think nearly £20 as speculated is more likely.

[Stormfury_Echo]

I've already got the entire first wave ordered through EE. Really looking forward to the subsequent waves. It's my understanding that they'll be tackling Terminator, also.

[Jay K]

So as well as the bluetooth communicator, and the Bajoran Raider, today I also picked up the Derelict! I have to say it was a little bit expensive (£25), but I am absolutely in love with it. Can't wait to get the other ships now.

[Destructor!!!]

What size is it, can we get some pics?

[Jay K]

Some quick ones just now. The Defiant is the 1/2500 scale ready-painted one:

Those seem bigger than I expected them to be. I don't know why, but from the pictures I always expected them to be small.

Maybe they'll get the Trek ship license and give us some good smaller than DST, but bigger than EM ship goodness.

[Jay K]

NECA with a proper Star Trek license would be a dangerous thing for people's wallets.

[Stormfury_Echo]

The Derelict is the only one I don't have displayed and I'll tell you why. I felt it was a missed opportunity. This is the only one that came with an acrylic stand. Wrong. It should have come with a base made to look like a bed of rock.
The color was a decent attempt, but when I get around to making a base for it that I'm happy with, I may put a dull coat on it to make it less....cheery.
