The U.S. Eaglemoss webstore was a bit of a P.I.T.A. over the last two months. While I admit that I have been extremely busy since my last review (of Alice) back at the end of June, what with being let go from a 19 year old job, moving to a new temporary apartment (for the next year), and setting my son up in a new school district because he all of a sudden decided to come live with me full time... <HEAVY SIGH> ...I still would have gotten some new stuff written, had it actually been available.
While this next model was available on time last month, it's partner model, the Eymorg Starship was MIA until sometime early last week. What finally did me in was when the webstore released the next two issues, for August, as well as the Voyager Concept, but STILL did not have he Eymorg ship. I am not a patient man, and eventually bit he bullet and bought that missing model on eBay for an extra $10, as well as caught up with the other ships through the Eaglemoss' site. Surprise, surprise, no magazines came with the Voyager model, and much to my dismay, no magazines with this month's models (Tholian Webspinner (23rd Century) and OV-165)? But wait! There;'s more! Apparently, as of early this week, you can now also get next month's models too. I ordered them and will be very annoyed if they are missing magazines as well.
I go on that little side-track to simply say that this month will be a treat as it appears that I will be bringing you a total of SEVEN reviews, practically back-to-back.
Anyway... enough of my ranting... let us take a look a the first of this next batch of reviews, the USS Princeton (NCC-59804), a Niagara class starship.
We are first introduced to this type of starship via a partial glimpse in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode called "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II".
