Star Trek Starships Collection Announces Free Gifts and Possible Extension
Fanhome thanks subscribers with two free gifts in Dispatch 26 and confirms work has begun on extending the Star Trek Starships Collection with additional models.
Fanhome has announced two free gifts for Star Trek Starships Collection subscribers arriving with Dispatch 26, along with confirmation that work has officially begun on a potential extension to the collection. The announcement was shared by Bac Compton, who manages community updates for the subscription series.
Subscribers in the UK and USA will receive a free Star Trek slip case designed to organize collection magazines, plus an undisclosed mystery gift. Fanhome notes the mystery item is subject to limited stock availability and may not be included in all future dispatches once supplies are exhausted.
Collection Milestones
The current run has reintroduced several highly sought-after models from the original Eaglemoss Star Trek Starships Collection, which ceased production after the company's financial difficulties in 2018. Fanhome's revival has focused on bringing back XL-scale ships that were previously difficult to obtain on the secondary market, alongside new releases and special Gold Edition variants.
The subscription model allows collectors who missed the original Eaglemoss releases to acquire these die-cast and ABS plastic replicas at regular intervals. Each ship includes a companion magazine with technical specifications, behind-the-scenes production details, and franchise lore. The collection spans vessels from across Star Trek's television series and films, from The Original Series through Discovery and Strange New Worlds.
Potential Extension Details
Fanhome confirmed that preliminary work has started on extending the collection beyond its current planned run, though specific details remain undisclosed. The company has not revealed which ships might be included, how many additional releases could be added, or when an extension might launch. This early-stage development suggests Fanhome is evaluating both manufacturing feasibility and collector demand before committing to specific models.
The original Eaglemoss collection produced over 200 different starship models across multiple scales and special editions before its conclusion. An extension would potentially introduce new ships that were never produced in the original line, expanding the range of vessels available to collectors. This approach would create fresh tooling and bring previously unreleased designs to the collection, offering something new rather than simply reissuing existing models.
Extension Not Yet Confirmed
While work has begun on exploring an extension, Fanhome emphasizes that nothing is confirmed. Ship selection, release count, and timing remain undetermined and subject to change based on development progress.
