Next up in my Eaglemoss vs. The World series of articles is Issue #51, the Hirogen Hunter or warship.  We are first introduced to this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Hunters".  We then see this ship in several other episodes as well.

Only one manufacturer has made this ship at this size in so this will be one of those really short articles.

Welcome to article #50 of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series.  I feel a great sense of accomplishment with this article as it means that I have written 50 articles reviewing the Eaglemoss Standard Line of models, three articles about their Special Edition line up, two articles about their Bonus Items, and one article about a Special Collection item.  That's a lot of "reviews".

In this article, we are going to take a look at my massive collection of Constitution Class starships, all in the form of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) as we met her in the TV series simply called "Star Trek" or more warmly referred to by that fans as The Original Series (TOS for short).  As of now, my TOS Enterprise collection consists of and Eaglemoss, a Hot Wheels, a 2006 Hallmark ornament, a Furuta, two MicroMachines models, and my last addition to the collection, a Running Press model.

Here comes one of my longest "Eaglemoss vs. The World" articles to date.  I was recently able to get my hands on Eaglemoss' Shuttlecraft Collection.

Normally I don't order stuff directly from Eaglemoss because they have a tendency to advertise stuff that they don't even have in stock.  And after you order it, I've heard horror tales about waiting one or more months to get your items.  As was the case with this set, I did get a notice AFTER they got my money that the shuttlecraft were on backorder.  But surprisingly, they came about two weeks later so I think I fared rather well.

Editor's Note (June 2016): When I bought my set directly from Eaglemoss, I paid $75 plus shipping for the set.  When I looked up the pricing for this article's re-write, I see that Eaglemoss now wants $100 plus shipping and I've seen the entire set on eBay for around $100 with shipping included.  This will become relevant later on in this article when I start giving my thoughts and recommendations.

EMvTW 49: ECS Fortunate (Y class)

My next article in the Eaglemoss vs. The World series is on the ECS Fortunate, a Y Class freighter from the 22nd century.  We are first introduced to this type of ship in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode called "Fortunate Son".

This will be yet another short article as I really don't have anything else to compare it too.

If you have been a follower of my articles, then I apologize for sounding like a broken record.  I can't help it though by continuing to point out that Eaglemoss has really been a game changer when it comes to pre-built and pre-painted models of Star Trek ships.  The two new ships a month that Eaglemoss produces for us, has completely buried Hallmark's selection of ships and has far surpassed Furuta's deceased collection.

EMvTW 48: USS Voyager NCC-74656 (Intrepid class, with ablative hull armor)

Issue 48 of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series will be a pretty short one considering this is a one of a kind model that no one else has done in a small scale version.  The ablative armored USS Voyager that appears in Star Trek: Voyager's final episode called "Endgame", does make for a rather unique addition to your Eaglemoss fleet, especially if you already have their Issue # 6 version of the USS Voyager.
