Starship Collection

Dentari · Posted Sat 22 Feb, 2014 12:58 PM

Well I don't think that it was necessarily a bad choice. I personally think that the ship and model look very good. Also I don't think this thread needs to become an argument about JJ Abrams, there's too much of that going on as it is!

I imagine we'll be seeing plenty of special edition ships from the prime timeline so I wouldn't rule out a TOS Connie yet. After all, this model collection is meant to run for quite a long time.

They are starting the collection in germany as well. Juhu :-)

I took the plunge and ordered today for the $5 USD. I'm going to try to convince the wife to let me go until the Equinox/Nova, but we'll see. $40/month is reasonably affordable, at least for the short term. Can't wait for the first few models (D'Deridex ftw).

You won't regret it, Caymen. Also, the D'Deridex certainly is a nice one. The only issue you'll have is actually bringing yourself to cancel your subscription once you're part way through.

But they wanted it to look "badass" and "hotrod" so they changed it because they thought it was dated? They're building something based off a design from the 1960's it's going to look dated! Just annoyed the hell out of me. Damn you JJ Abrams... go an direct Star Wars, it's what he wanted in the first place.

Don't worry he will step on lego shortly. Its overdue. Love the Galor! Galor's are cool!

Eaglemoos and there Marketing and Customer Service are terrible. I wrote some weeks ago that the started the collection in Germany as well. This is not so true... kind of... I wrote that a Star Trek Fanclub had sighted the first issue at a local supermarket and bought the magazine. That was correct so far. Because of the picture they posted I found out the web link to subscribe immediately to the collection. But because I was annoyed that they did no advertising at all and that I had written to there UK customer service before I mailed them again this time to the Eaglemoss main email and the Collections email. And what a surprise I got 2 different answers. From the UK Star Ship Collection Email I just got the answer the collection is not available in Germany at all but from there headquarter I got a longer statement. They first did a test balloon with the first 2 issues in certain major cities in Germany before starting later the year in the whole country. And then there will be advertising and even a german Facebook side. So I assumed that my subscription will just sit and wait for the full scale launch but again I was surprised to receive the first two issues and last week number 3 and 4. And everything in german. So I am satisfied there but still there internal communication seems to be a mess.

So how do the shipments and payments work, notably for the US folks? I got billed the $5 and then received my first ship almost right away. I believe my wife (who owns my wallet) saw $23 come through, but not another $23 and I believe the shipments come in twos? So wouldn't they bill me $46? I'm confused. Anyone give me their payment and shipment experience?

Looking forward to the binder coming up - almost went and bought something because I forgot that was included.

As bad as it sounds, I don't really keep track of my finances in any sensible way...

That being said, I have noticed that the packages always seem to arrive fairly soon after the payment is made. Also, they don't always seem to take the payments in one go, they are occasionally stuttered depending on what is in your packages.

It may well be made clear to you when your packages arrive. However, there may be someone else who is able to answer this question more helpfully than I!

I couldn't stand it any more. I read all of the posts (most of them very positive) about the collection and signed up. I've been considering it ever since they first issued it but didn't pull the trigger until today.

Welcome to the club Stormy!

I just ordered. This is going to be great. Needed some things to fill out my home office.

At first it will fill up a bit a bit of space. Then you will quickly run out of room.

Totally worth it though.
