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?
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.The Marauder is disappointing.

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

With all the QC/delivery issues, I'm glad I stuck to wasting money on 1/18 scale car models. Shame 
To be fair, All of mine have been good with the exception of one Defiant and one Equinox. Everything else is spot on. The JJprise has been the worst for consistency, loads report poor build and finishes, I've picked up three (one to keep, two to ebay) and they are all spot on perfect.My Issue 16 and 17 had an attempted delivery yesterday but didn't get them until this morning.
The Dauntless is brilliant, again, so pleased to see one off ships rarely seen again being featured.
The Ferengi D'Kora has never been one of those designs I've been interested in, a bit like the Solar Sailor coming up next month, I'll get them as a subscriber, but its not something I can get excited about. Thankfully there are very few in the proposed collection that fit that description.

t! Also has anyone else got issues with theirs going into the holder? Mine doesn't flush fit like the others and falls out very easily!
Yep, I tested mine to take a quick snap and it wouldn't really sit at all. There is a way of fitting onto the 'head' of the ship, which some suggest is more secure, didn't make much of an improvement on mine, still doesn't sit very well. Good job the ship is too pig ugly to display eh. t! Also has anyone else got issues with theirs going into the holder? Mine doesn't flush fit like the others and falls out very easily!
Yep, my subs copy of Issue 18 and 19 arrived on Weds...
Stargazer is fantastic, although mine came with its lower nacelles broken off, all super glued up now though and its fine.
The Solar Sailor is a bit lame, but looks ok ish displayed. Extremely fragile though, not a highlight of the collection and up there with the Borg Sphere for dullness.

My issue 20 & 21 arrived today, bang on time as seems to be usual now. Will take a pic later.
Enterprise E is fine, bit small due to it being a long design, some good details but lacks the crispness of some of the other sculpts due to it being a large ship in a small scale, if that makes sense.
The Klingon Attack Cruiser is a good one, great size, solid, looks pretty faithful to my eyes.
In other Star trek ship news, I got the latest Art Asylum/DST Starship Legend, the USS Excelsior. Again, will post pics but its absolutely brilliant, prefer it to the Enterprise B from last year, looks perfect to me.

Issue 28, the Maquis raider hit the shops today, I've picked one up and its one of the good ones, really good size and sculpt. Only downside, the paint is very silver, and looks a bit odd. Still, nothing worth worrying about.
My subs delivery hasn't arrived yet, so can't comment on Issue 29, the Jem Hadar Attack Ship, but it looks great in peoples posts to the Facebook page.

My Vengeance special has arrived, but no sign of the Runabout and Hideki issues that are due this week.
The Vengeance is very good and well worth picking up. Still not a big fan of the design, bit too fanboy ish with theres elements I really like, irregular hull panelling, the colour.
