End Of An Era?

 I just saw some interesting news on the web today.  It appears that Eaglemoss is facing financial issues and may be going away after giving us 10+ years of Star Trek goodness.  I guess this will cut back on my reviews.

EMvTW Special 29 - Ty'Gokor Orbital Facility

Rewrites: None

I was never a big fan of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.  I didn't watch it when it first aired and ran through the entire series, and I didn't watch it in reruns.  It wasn't until about five or six years ago that I finally sat down and binge watched it just to get a handle on it.  It still isn't my thing, but to each thier own.  It is because of my lack of knowledge of the series that when Eaglemoss announced this next station, that I at first thought there was some sort of mistake being made.  I was like, "What is this thing?"  But, it appears that Eaglemoss has decided to bring us a non-human space station in the form of a Special Edition release.  And so, we now can add the Ty'Gokor Orbital Facility to our crowded space station display shelves.

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode called "Apocalypse Rising".

EMvTW Extra 35 - Hierarchy Assault Ship (Assault Class)

Rewrites: None

The last of the Shop Exclusive models that I recently received from Eaglemoss is an interesting design. It is sometimes hard to tell what you are looking at when browsing the Eaglemoss WebStore, so I wasn't sure what to expect with the Hierarchy Assault Ship model .

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy" and then again in the episode called "The Void".

EMvTW Extra 34 - Klingon D-5 Class Tanker (AKA Korok's Ship)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Rewrites: None

The next bonus/extra model, or what is now being called Shop Exclusive, to come out of Eaglemoss' Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection is a rehash of a previous Eaglemoss model.  Let us take a look at the Klingon D-5 Class Tanker.

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode called "Marauders".

EMvTW Special 28 - Jupiter Station

The next model up for my review is one that I have been anxiously awaiting for months to get my hands on.  I was super excited when I found out that they were doing this one, even with it being a Special Edition sized model.  I am speaking of the very odd looking, and even more oddly displayed Jupiter Station.

While the station is mentioned lots of times across several series, we first get to see this place in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Life Line".

EMvTW Extra 33 - Talarian Observation Craft (Q'Maire class)

Rewrites: None

Next up in what I'm calling the wallet crushing rush of models from Eaglemoss is the Talarian Observation Craft, also known as the Q'Maire class.



We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode called "Suddenly Human".

EMvTW Extra 32 - Nomad MK-15c (NSSDC ID: 2002-045b)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Rewrites: None

We haven't received a new Eaglemoss model under the "Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection" line of models since February 2022.  Finally, after waiting for two months, Eaglemoss released six new models in rapid successions.  While my wallet is certainly hurting from that, it is still exciting to be back in the review saddle again.  The first of these models that we will look at is the Nomad MK-15c Space Probe.

We first get to see this probe in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode called "The Changeling".

EMvTW Extra 31 - Kazon Carrier (Predator Class)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Rewrites: None

Eaglemoss continues to produce new models under the "Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection" label, and the next Shop Exclusive, which I call Bonus Edition or Extra Edition models, is a much wished for model.  Many collectors have lamented that they wanted to see more Kazon ships in the collection, and so Eaglemoss has granted that wish in the form of the Predator Class carrier.

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Caretaker".

EMvTW Extra 30 - Steth's Coaxial Starship

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Rewrites: None

I was sad when Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection came to an end at issue #180.  I truly thought we were done with seeing models from the my favorite TV series that had been covered in the this line of ships.  I especially felt that there were still a few more ships that could be done to complete the collection.  Then, Eaglemoss surprised us all, and continued releasing models as Special Edition and Shop Exclusives, which I personally call, the Bonus Edition models.  These new models do take a while to be released between the time they are put up for pre-order and the time we actually get them.  For example, this next model up for review was purchased by me through the US WebStore back in September 2021, and here we are in February 2022. 

So, without any further delay, here is Steth's Coaxial Starship.

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Vis à Vis".

EMvTW SC08 - Shuttlecraft Collection Set 8

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Rewrites: None

Eaglemoss continues to produce ships under thier "Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection" label.  I have been making pre-order purchases of these ships as soon as they go online, and then wait patiently for a few months for them to come to the United States.  This has been the new norm when it comes to collecting under that "Finished" line of models, but in some cases, the wait is worth it.

The latest Shuttlecraft Collection went up for pre-order in the United states back September 2021, and I just received my set in February 2022.  I truly believe though that this set was worth that wait for several reasons.

First and foremost, this set differs from the previous seven sets in that this one contains all alien, and no Starfleet (Terran) ships.

The set consists of four smaller than Standard Edition sized models, with accompanying half height magazines and something called Okudagrams.
