Yep, mine arrived yesterday also...



JJprise is rather nice, certainly better than the hot wheels version which is the only one I have except for the slightly crappy much larger playmates electronic toy. Mines all straight and true and no panel gaps or damage. However, check out the Facebook group, some peoples look like total crap. I got lucky.

Nova class/Equinox is very nice, although my nacelles are a little wonky.

Galor is ok, oddly lacking in detail in some places making it look a little bland but still nice to have.

Had issues 12-15 show up on friday along with my cube and the jj enterprise, but it looks like they had stevie wonder on the assembly line got to be the worst fitting I have seen nacelles both point in different directions and I can actually see all the way through the neck from front to back the gap is that big looks to me like they tried to put out too many too quick and didnt bother with many quality control checks

Yep you're not the only one, everyone except a very lucky minority are receiving extremely poor examples. Bent nacelles, paint damage, very poor shut lines.

Well at least it isnt just me although it does seem like that at the moment as its almost 25% of my models and strangely all enterprises that have had problems I only hope that as the series goes on they make some changes to the QC line and bring it up to scratch.

I must say though that in a darkened room with just a lamp behind it to highlight the hole through the neck section it does look strangely good.

These look really cool. I'm no Trek fan, only ever seen a few episodes of Deep space whatever it was called with that little ship blowing stuff up.

The 2009 JJprise special and Issue 15 (the USS Equinox/Nova Class) are in shops today.

I picked up some extra Nova's as my subscription copy suffered from the old 'wonky nacelle' condition. Fab ship though, very detailed.

Got all my stuff in a big box couple of weeks ago, (and a tax bill grrr) my JJ enterprise is solid but right nacelle is slightly off but looks fine at short distance.

Got them all on a shelf, have taken pic but phone wasn't uploading so will do on pic later.

I received USS Dauntless and the Ferengi Marauder this morning. Dauntless looks good, though I have never been a fan of the design.

The Marauder is disappointing. My one is plain orange underneath apart from the translucent yellow warp bits. There is no weathering or detail paintwork at all underneath, which makes it look weird as there is loads - too much on top. Is anyone else's like that?

The Cardassian Galor warship I received last month was also really disappointing. I had a Micromachine model/toy with more detail on it!

On the other hand most of the other models have been pretty good and I am really looking forward to receiving USS Stargazer next month, though it looks like they may have made the saucer a bit slim going by the photos I have seen.

Wow, jealous! Never known a delivery come this early ahead of Thursday. I normally get mine on the Wednesday before, some people have had them on a Tuesday.

Pictures of the Dauntless please, I'm looking forward to that one! The Ferengi less so.

Gah, you lot all beat me this month, you lucky devils.

The Marauder has a strange weathering, but the Dauntless looks perfect.

Some great shots there, thanks!

A fine looking model, I always liked this design and was disappointed at the end of the ep when it turned out to be a fake.It looked highly probable as an experimental Starfleet ship.

Still waiting for my first few issues to arrive. frown

Ordered early November and Eaglemoss have been beyond useless, weekly follow up emails get inconsistent replies. Excuses vary from 'IT problems' to 'order doesn't exist' to 'has now been dispatched' with 10 days later being told it hadn't as they'd 'run out of stock' and are now on 'back order' which will be 'dispatched once received'.

Shame as I was originally hoping to build the full collection (Federation at least + other favourites).

Great picture from those who have received their items, one day I may have mine. :P

Jesus, can't believe you still haven't got anything. I admit EM are one of the most patchy companies I've ever seen, they've been totally faultless (so far) for me, but others have such issues, as you do.
