SL2500 Federation Fleet Box - They Exist!

Just received my Federation Fleet Box. It was a l-o-n-g wait (pre-ordered 12/5/2011), but I do have to give the product it's due; they are very nice set of miniatures.

Mine appears to be one of the final run of resin ships (YEAH!!! I liked the resin) and they definitely had the casting process and packing dialed-in.

Unlike some of the earlier copies I have (Squadron Boxes, probably produced late last year) which had issues with missing parts/ships, underfills along the engineering hull tops, bubbles in struts and saucer-edges, etc., these are beautifully done. Crisply cast and all parts accounted for.

I'm still waiting for my War Destroyer minis, but so is everyone else. I hope those end up being resin, but only so I can keep my collection consistent. I've seen the metal castings of the Klingon ships and they're quite nice.

I'll shoot a quick "open box" review and stick it up on YouTube this weekend.

I did a quick video review of my Fleet Box set (which was resin in my case, probably one of the very last resin sets).

Nice, did you order this through ADB, Mongoose or local gamestore?

I pre-ordered through Mongoose, back when it was thought that might be advantageous for an early delivery.

Nice vid Will.

It inspired me so much that I pulled out my SL2500 Fed Fleet box and fixed up my CA and CL just now.
