Things seem to be looking up for Eaglemoss. Last week we received a long overdue shipment of standard-sized Star Trek starships, many of which are quickly selling out. Now, we have learned that a follow-on shipment of Eaglemoss sci-fi stuff is on its way to us, this one largely containing several Star Trek Discovery and Battlestar Galactica ships. We have no doubt that these too will move quickly since many were listed as pre-orders for a number of months. The problem, as we see it, is that re-supply seems to be haphazard, so there’s a good chance we may not receive additional stocks of these items for many more months to come, if at all. So, as always, we strongly recommend reviewing everything that has already arrived as well as those items currently en route to us. The simple truth is that there’s no telling when or if these collectibles will return to stock in any significant numbers so grab ’em while you can.
Eaglemoss Battlestar Galactica
By Your Imperial Command
Images have popped up for two of the latest models in Eaglemoss’ Battlestar Galactica range. Issue seven, which is due out some time this Spring, plays host to the original space battleship, Battlestar Galactica, featured in the 1978 televised series.
Issue eight, likely not too far behind the Galactica release, looks at the space battleship, Battleship Pegasus, as portrayed in the updated 2004 televised series. For the uninitiated, Pegasus was a Mercury-class Battlestar and one of the most advanced military ships in the Colonial Fleet. Along with the Battlestar Galactica, the Pegasus was one of two Colonial military vessels to survive the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, serving under the command of Admiral Helena Cain.
Both ships are now available for pre-order and make excellent additions to any Battlestar Galactica war chest.
Battlestar Galactica: Under a Pagan Sun
Two more products have emerged from the Eaglemoss’ Battlestar Galactica group, both having to do with Cylon Basestars drawn from both the 1978 as well as the reimagined 2004 series. Obviously, neither is created to scale since they would each dwarf some of the smaller ships portrayed in the series. Still, both are designed to give collectors an idea as to their respective detail and painstaking research going into every ship in the series.
Eaglemoss’ Battlestar Galactica Series Gets Its First Shot in the Arm
While we are still awaiting the release of their first Battlestar Galactica ship, Eaglemoss, through its Hero Collector subsidiary, announced the next pairing of ships drawn from the Galactica universe. The first is a replica of the Battlestar Galactica space battleship, as it was portrayed in the 2004 televised series (EMBGS03).
The second is a Colonial Mark I Viper fighter, as it was originally envisaged way back in 1978 (EMBGS04) in the original televised series. The manufacturer has gone on record to say that they will be shipping a new ship every couple of months, so don’t expect to take these beauties home for several more months.
Eaglemoss Grapples with the Cylons
If you’re a fan of the Battlestar Galactica sci-fi series — and let’s face it, who isn’t — then you’ll be thrilled to learn that Eaglemoss Collections is launching a brand new sci-fi range that focuses on many of the ships depicted in the series. Debuted at this week’s Comic-Con convention here in New York City, the Eaglemoss replicas will likely be larger in size than some of the Star Trek standard-sized starships, and will therefore likely carry a price tag in the $50+ range. We will wait for the manufacturer to roll out their latest web-based showcase before posting SKUs and additional product information, although we are willing to be that each ship will come bundled with a collector magazine like their Star Trek brethren models. Look for the first ships to take on humanity some time in early 2018.
