About this deal

Again, the current PCT transaction covers Europe, but work is underway to serve the US customers as well. Eaglemoss owed Eligor a significant amount of money so it will take time to recover, but this is very good sign for Eleanor builders! We are all blindsided. We all lost our jobs but what hurts more for me is I really liked the people and products I worked on. We are not getting paid, and they told us appointing administrations is taking longer than expected. They told us to stop working and not communicate anything at 5:30 pm UK time last week. All the partnerships, influencers, social media, agencies etc. NOT A WORD AS THE NEWS WILL BE OUT SOON. Stage 111 – Windows/Reflectors, Formation Light Lenses, Transporter Emitter Pads, Warp Engine Grilles/Reflectors

Last summer Eaglemoss Ltd., the prolific licensee that sold a multitude of Star Trek products through their Hero Collector brand, ceased operations and went into receivership (akin to bankruptcy). Now some of the popular product lines are getting a new life under new management from two different companies. The Build the Enterprise-D program is being taken over by De Agostini through their Fanhome brand, which has just officially relaunched the program. And later this year, models from the popular line of Hero Collector Star Trek Starships will go on sale again through Heathside’s Master Replicas brand. TrekMovie spoke to Eaglemoss’ former head of licensed products Ben Robinson who is working as a consultant with both companies. Building the Enterprise-D again with Fanhome Limited Edition art prints included Certificates of Authenticity signed by the artist(s) and were produced in limited editions of 1,500 units each. The graphic for the first release measured 19.5 × 26.5 cm and is printed onto a 30 × 40 cm sheet of 310 gsm Hahnemühle German etching paper. Scale of the Concept III model was calculated using the (final) "real" USS Excelsior's length of 467 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [25] The starship models measure from about fifteen to twenty-five centimeters in length, comparable to many of the Special Editions from this collection. Larger "Special Edition" DIS starship models, similar in size to the "XL Edition" models released in this partwork, have also been produced.Designed to push the envelope on the traditional Federation starship elements — a round saucer and a pair of nacelles — to evoke the additional leap forward in technology for the 26th century setting, envisioned with the ability to “fold space” in a propulsion far beyond the traditional warp drive method of travel. The next big manufacturer is ELIGOR. Eligor is based in France, but their Chinese factory EHK is responsible for these kits: PROLINK INDUSTRIAL CO LTD– Created the Starships Collection ships as well as the Enterprise D build-up Shuttle Sets One disappointing part of the upgrade is the new deflector dish, an untextured piece of molded plastic which almost seems to have been an afterthought; Drexler’s concept graphics for the ship seen in the 2001 Ships of the Line calendar, along with the Eaglemoss magazine for this release, show the deflector having the same ridged detail later seen on the Constitution-class Enterprise.

Overall, this is a really nice model, and while it may not add much to the original smaller version of the ship, the XL Enterprise-B it is a well constructed model that nicely contributes to rounding out the line of Enterprises on your display shelf. In July 2022, Eaglemoss declared bankruptcy and basically disappeared overnight. This left me and many other builders with unfinished models and no sign that we would ever be able to finish them. With Fanhome’s resurrection of this Enterprise D subscription in 2023, I am going to finish the model. July 2023 Star Trek: Shipyards, subtitled The Encyclopedia of Star Trek Ships, is a mass-market hardcover reference book series that presents an "in-universe" chronological history of canon starships, and is published by Eaglemoss Collections through Penguin Random House's Publisher Services division, under its Hero Collector imprint. Starships from the alternate reality ( Kelvin Timeline) and TAS are not covered in this series, and ships seen only on displays will not be incorporated. Mr. Robinson provided some insight into behind-the-scenes about how the various partworks came to be, what he feels the future holds for them, even what might products might have been. He also mentioned that any partworks that we have seen completed in photographs (such as the ’66 Batmobile) already have their tooling finished. These models have a very high likelihood of being acquired and released by another company since much of the work and cost has already been sunk. And, it is a high priority to allow existing customers to finish their builds from wherever in the process they may be.The fourth volume covers the Deep Space 9 space station, the USS Defiant, and the Danube-class runabouts from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It’s quite different than Chapter 11 or 7 in the United States where the original owners and management stay in place until the firm is close to wound up. Strangely enough, I have yet to see any court filings regarding Eaglemoss’ administration proceedings, even so much as the official appointment of administrators. Regardless, I have been able to talk with a few different Eaglemoss people (including Ben Robinson). While there is much they either can’t say or don’t know, I feel that Eaglemoss/Hero Collector/Die-Cast Club as we know it will never return. UPDATE August 18, 2022: Today, the Statement of Administrator’s Proposal regarding Eaglemoss Limited has been filed with the UK Government’s Companies House. The contents of this proposal should be available within 10 days and I will post the relevant information here. Published under the Hero Collector imprint, second editions of the first three volumes and all subsequent books in the series were released by Eaglemoss in mass-market editions, utilizing Penguin Random House's Publisher Services division.
