LAUNCHED:
7000 Federation Pre-War Fleet Collection
7000 Lyran Fleet Core (surprise: things worked out. The little wings at the back of the DN center hull ended up being less of an issue than expected. Photo on website)

Likely sooner rather than later:
7000 Romulan Builder
7000 Kzinti Builder
7000 Lyran Builder

Good job, David, keep it going!

I should note that a day or two ago David proposed to ADB an interesting product idea that Jean and I will have to discuss. We just haven't had time yet.

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Sunday, June 21, 2026 - 02:19 pm: Edit

Could the Lyran fleet builder please include 2xCW, 2xDW and 2xFF? CW's became more prevalent later in the GW and FF's produced less.

I'd like to see something we can use for Tourney ships for each race.

Hmmm, say David, have you considered 'keeping' some of those defective models for 'damaged' vessels ??

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, June 22, 2026 - 12:06 am: Edit

We used to sell defective ships for people who wanted to make damaged ships or who just were not picky.

Then some of those people started selling the defective ships to people who expected us to replace them.

So Jean stopped the practice, forever.

Defective ships should go to the staff repair depot. #ILikeToKitbash

It says "Check out our store on Shapeways here!

https://starfleetmodels.com/"

on top of this thread. It gives the impression of being outdated info since Shapeways itself is gone:P

Carl, I fixed that part and sent Jean a note to fix the part I cannot fix.

Very, very happy with the miniatures I've received thus far in the new 7000 series. The detail is excellent for the scale.

And also happy because Lyrans are my "home" race and they're already available. I thought I was in for much more of a wait!

How long is the typical turn around for an order?
Just wondering when to look for my order to get to me.

@burt

Typical turnaround is seven days or less. Your order shipped on 6/25 and should arrive tomorrow (6/29) according to USPS. When we ship the company we use sends tracking information but I'd be happy to provide it to you via email if you like.

We have now had two orders misplaced by USPS despite using standard and tested labels and packaging. I'm not sure what is going on there but it could just be a statistics thing. They give you very little detail on why something suddenly can't be delivered.

By Burt Quaid (Burt) on Sunday, June 28, 2026 - 06:47 pm: Edit

Thanks. I was just wondering if it had gone out yet. I will keep my eyes open for it.

Now launched:

- Kzinti Builder (NCA, CMx2, DWx2, FF) - That's right, more new ships than most builder sets and a lot of drone throw weight.

- Romulan Eagle Builder (WEx2, BHx2, SNx2) - More than 100 times more plasma torpedos than any previous builder set! (yeah, ok but you still have to respect a pair of R-torps.)

Love the Kzinti sets.

Are Romulan Hawk sets also on the horizon?

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Wednesday, July 01, 2026 - 10:58 pm: Edit

Any official thoughts on my request for the contents of the Lyran fleet builder?

By Greg Ernest (Gernest) on Wednesday, July 01, 2026 - 11:21 pm: Edit

All I hope for is to replace the DD with a CW. So many of the sets include newer production hulls, the new Kzinti builder. The DD was removed from production at the start of the General War. Why have more?

I've been holding off on buying miniatures for decades now, and these looked so good I finally pulled the trigger. I received my order in good time, packed well, and the models look just fantastic. Thanks.

*ping* New contacts sir, Lyran forces are building. Now reading one war cruiser, two war destroyers, one destroyer and two frigates... SIR, correction that contact id'ed as destroyer is actually a SECOND war cruiser.

7000 Series Lyran Fleet Builder Collection released - now upgraded to CW x 2, DW x 2, FF x 2 by popular request and at the direction of ADB.

Will the Romulan Hawk Core Fleet make it out of cloak as Cycle 2 ends? We'll find out July 5th!

By David Jannke (Bigslowtarget) on Sunday, July 05, 2026 - 04:37 pm: Edit
