UPDATE! With Eaglemoss essentially dead it looks like many builders are going to be stuck with an incomplete model. That absolutely sucks. Personally I gutted it out for almost a year before quitting on the build due to the appalling quality of the model. Total garbage and not worth the time or money investment. Especially painful when I could've ordered 281 Big Macs instead.

These builds are nothing like the snap kits of "airfix" kits and in a complete league of their own over things like Hot Toys and Black Series models. They are not perfect however and it's always fun to ad your own flare to the Model. Happy building. Subscribed.

Hey TrekLad, speaking of currency prices,I take it your in the UK,but for me I am in the US,and compared to your 9.99 pound,here the price has been increased to $12.95 per kit,so that comes out to $1554 without shipping,but with it at $4.95 for 4 kits per month it comes out to $594 for a whopping $2148. Now admittedly that is a chunk of change,but considering its broken down to 4 kits per month for a total of $56.75 I think that is pretty reasonable. Now I am a little upset that it doesn't have a soundboard or an extra rod to hold the saucer section when separated,but the actual 2 sections being able to separate is just awesome.So for good points and bad,the good ones beat out the bad and overall when complete this thing should be a crown jewel in anyones collection,especially mine. Also I kinda wish this had fewer kits or stages like 100 or even 80 to keep it around 2 years to complete instead of 30 months but its not a dealbreaker,I plan on completing this hopefully and display it in my mancave.Plus this is just HUGE and worth it.

This partwork (of my fave starship of all time) is a great way for me to chill of a evening. Pour a drink, grab a snack, put on a podcast or youtube vid in the background and get building. I love it. Quite a way through the Ecto build too now and it's looking stunning. Yeah they are pricey but factor the enjoyment I get out building it ,I just ( only just mind ) validate it to myself.

It is usually not worth it. I currently build the Bismarck from Hachette once complete I will have paid over 2000€ and it took over 3 years to build it, I will be done in 2 month I think... For comparison the Trumpeter Bismarck in the same scale costs about 200€. Even if you buy all the fancy add on stuff like wooden deck, etched parts, metal barrels etc. the Trumpeter is not going to cost over 500€. And in the end the Trumpeter will be way more accurate then the Hachette could ever hope to be. The downside is you need way more time to actually build and paint it and you need the skills and tools to do so as well. Since I lack the later I went with Hachette knowing full well it actually is not really worth it in terms of money. The thing is you don't really feel the bank account hit as you pay on a per month basis. As long as you have a regular decently paying job you can easily afford 50€ a month. But in terms of quality it is not worth it.

So, when I learned of this latest Eaglemoss effort, I did some checking about it, saw how much it would cost and instantly noped it. I LOVE the might D. But I can get an Ertl D model kit built for me with lighting and running lights, etc for a quarter of the final price.

My concern is that if I invest in this and, after 1.5 years, the company goes under or simply determines not to continue and I'm left with a pile of partially built parts. The overall cost is bad but really not the limiter for me. I simply do not trust these substitute of trickled parts over time.

That's alot of money to sink into a kit. I love the Enterprise D but the idea of putting together a model kit piece by piece over 120 kits? I'd rather just buy all of it in one lump sum.

Be savvy, Wait the course, They will no doubt do the usual sale, Thus allowing to purchase the entire set at 25/40% discount end run. If one does not want to feel a direct pinch, Put magazine cost to one side, allowing to build up.

I've watched probably a dozen videos on this thing in the last few days. In short, I was almost about to sign up and start building this thing and all the videos have changed my mind on that. I do not like the idea of paying shipping on 120+ small shipments versus one big one. I also do not liek what I've heard about constant delays from Eagle Moss on parts. That's before getting to my issues with the model itself. The lighting design is a couple decades out of date and the most convoluted and probably expensive way to light the model with arguably the worst results. There are aspects of the model that should have better details, such as the bottom of the warp nacelles. At this scale, there is no reason for excluding details. Additionally, the fact this is powered by multiple separate battery compartments and different types of batteries is a travesty. Furthermore, this design adds seams for additional battery compartments and unsightly switches all over the model. At the total price of this model, these are compromises we shouldn't have to make. It looks like tremendous fun to build and I like the scale but the design, total cost, parts availability, etc. make this a hard pass for me.

I thought they aren't accepting anymore orders? So if that's true then it's not worth buying now

I spend like $500 to $1000 a month playing star trek fleet command, and you say that this is expensive? I guess it depends on your idea of expensive

Honestly...no, the amount of money and patience required is just not cost effective for a display piece. Im happy with my Diamond select

I've subscribed to this build, went for the monthly option. First package was delayed apparently due to oversubscription, then I received an email to say that they have caught up with orders and that the UK would be caught up soon. I'm not in the UK, I'm in Ireland and every UK builder I follow on YT is at least 3 packs ahead of me, typical eaglemoss nonsense. I'm already conflicted about the cost of this model and I hate building electronics...but it's the Enterprise D, how could I not buy it ?

We all know what the real reason for that £1317.60 price tag is for, it's for eaglemoss to get the windows painted in correctly.

The biggest problem I have with eaglemoss is their poor customer service. I canceled my discovery subscription over a year ago and they continue to try and bill me for new ships I didn’t ask for

Abso-freakin-lutely. Wait you’re not patient but you have the patience to build glue or snap together models! What okay this 1701-D is a die- cast and plastic model you build yourself the quality of the plastic is better than regular model plastic so for $40-$50 a month to build an over 2ft long metal model D like I said before Abso-freakin-lutely it’s worth it this kit is meant more for those who are 40yrs or older anyway we’ve been fans a heck of a lot longer!!!!!
