Whoa!  It's like Deja Vu.  Next up in our Eaglemoss vs. The World Series is the Borg Cube.

We first get to see this starship in the movie Star Trek: First Contact (1996).

Hold on!  Hold on! Hold on!  This review deserves a little more fanfare than that horrible introduction.  So let's try this again...

We have FINALLY reached Issue #180 of the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection.  The Borg Cube from Star Trek: First Contact (1996) marks the very last Standard Edition model for this collection.  One of my fellow collectors reports that this collection has been going for six years and eleven months.  I personally have been reviewing the Eaglemoss models off and on since November 2014.  If you ONLY invested in the Standard Edition models, and managed to ONLY pay $25 for each one of them, then you would have invested $4500 in your collection.  It has been quite a journey for us collectors, and quite frankly, a fun one for me as a reviewer.

Hopefully, that serves as a better introduction.  Now let us move on with the review.

EMvTW Special 24 - Regula I (R1 Invictus class)

This model has been a long awaited one for us Eaglemoss collectors.  Ever since Eaglemoss released Deep Space Nine way back in Special Issue #1, and then we learned that other stations would eventually follow, we collectors have been begging for Regula 1.  And now we have it, that is, if you are lucky enough to find a source for it.

We first get to see this station in the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).  We then get to see the station studio model used in various episodes later on TV in various stages of change.

EMvTW 179 - Vidiian Starship (Savior Class)

As we go into this review, we can see the checkered flag just around the corner.  This is the second to last review of my Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection series.  While we have still have a shuttle set and two more specials to review, there is just this model and one more of the Standard Issues.

With that being said, this review is going to take a look at The Vidiian Starship.

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

EMvTW 178 - Husnock Warship

We are getting SOOO close to the last Official Starship Collection model.  There are two more to go after this review.  Out next review is of a ship that didn't really exist.  While it looked and felt real enough, it turns out, it was just an illusion.

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

EMvTW Extra 25 - USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (Constitution Class) (2254)

I swore to my readers and myself that I would not buy reprints of Eaglemoss models, like the ISS ships or cloaked vessels.  But... this one was slightly different... looking... and would hopefully continue making my USS Enterprise collection "complete", so I bit the bullet and bought the USS Enterprise from 2254.

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode called "The Cage".  You can see a synopsis of that episode at THIS LINK.

EMvTW 177 - Sheliak Colony Ship

Our next Eaglemoss Standard Edition model review is of the dark and foreboding, yet strangely familiar looking Sheliak Colony Ship. 

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode called "The Ensigns of Command".

EMvTW 176 - Tarellian Starship (AKA Plague Ship)

As we round the corner to the finish line, of what is known as The Official Starship Collection, Eaglemoss continues to pull some surprising models out of the archives.  The Tarellian Starship, also known as the Plague Ship is the next model up for review.

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

First Contact Day is a holiday celebrated to honor both the warp 1 flight of the Phoenix and first open contact between Humans and Vulcans on April 5th, 2063 in Bozeman, Montana.  In June of 2020, Eaglemoss made first contact for us by releasing the Special Edition version of the vessel that made First Contact in 2063.

We first get to see this starship in the movie called Star Trek: First Contact (1996).
