Borg Cube Advent Calendar Week 3

Borg Cube Advent Calendar 
Week 3

Day 15.

Stickers which are always useful and already applied.

Day 16.

A very significant piece of metal described as a paperweight in a classic design.

Day 17.

Early Ben Sisko pin, you know when he had hair because he would have been too intimidating otherwise.

Day 18.

The artwork of Juan Ortiz is pretty spectacular, I already have The City on the Edge of Forever framed on the wall and these postcards are just as nice.

Day 19.

If you can't tell this is a metal bookmark, would not have guessed that without the hint from the included card.

Day 20.

A folding plastic "case" for a travel card or similar. Gotta say it's hard to drum the enthusiasm for some of these items.

Day 21.

An espresso mug, my thought whenever I see such a mug is WTF humanity so no real joy here.

Borg Advent Cube Week 1

Borg Cube Advent Calendar 

Week 1

Did I need this, well no I didn't but I did want it so here we are ☺

Day 1

Well they didn't open big but any Trek fan would see this playing card set as worthwhile.

Day 2

Pins are quite popular now so a solid reward unless you already have this one.

Day 3

Now this was impressive, feels very solid and looks like it's worth more than you would expect.

Day 4

An art print on well sturdy paper entitled "Vashti" which I figured out was from Picard.

Day 5

It was inevitable that socks would be involved somewhere...

Day 6

They are doubling down on Pins which if you like that sort of thing is great.

Day 7

Original Series Coasters, quite nice and well made.

So that is the first week over with. A couple of nice items, a couple of well ok fair enough and two that I know many collectors will love. Overall positive given I knew we were not going to wowed by the items at the calendars price point.

Eagle Transporter

Picked this up from Eaglemoss and yes it took quite a few decades to replace my Space 1999 Eagle die-cast toy from my younger days😁

Battlestar Galactica

I've had the Battlestar Galactica on pre-order for a while from Eaglemoss and while I prefer the original design there is a lot to like about this one. It doesn't hurt that the detail and build quality of the model is excellent.

Cylon Raider

Cylon Raider

Recently released by Eaglemoss is the model of the Cylon Raider from the reimagined Battlestar Galactica. A very well put together piece but you know I still think I prefer the Raider from the original series.

Viper Mark II

Eaglemoss have released their first model from the new Battlestar Galactica range, the US get the option of a subscription (like the Trek ships) but here we have to buy as and when they are released. Now they are not cheap but I've got to admit they are excellent quality.

Battlestar Galactica Viper Mark II By Hero Collector

USS NCC-1701 Enterprise

Here is my new Eaglemoss model of the USS NCC-1701 Enterprise, a much bigger model than they normally release but retains the excellent build quality.

U.S.S. Enterprise NX-01

I'd pre-ordered this absolutely beautiful model of the Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NX-01 refit which is a special edition release from Eaglemoss aka Star Trek Models and it came yesterday:)

EagleMoss

Star Trek The Offical Starships Collection

I'll admit I couldn't see myself subscribing to this publication, the cost overall and given I wasn't interested in some of the issues put me off but I knew eventually I would be picking up one or two and the models would eventually grace my shelves :)

So here they are, the K'T'Inga-Class Battle Cruiser, the Andorian Battle Cruiser and the Species 8472 Bioship.
