Master Replicas has been selling stock of Eaglemoss-made Star Trek starship models since that company went out of business in 2022, giving fans who missed out on the original runs of the 200+ models to complete their collections.
Now, just over a year since the company took ownership of the leftover Official Starship Collection inventory, Master Replicas has announced that their license to sell the miniature spaceships is coming to an end in just over one month.
In an email sent out to their newsletter subscribers, MR says that while one Star Trek product line is going away, there’s still much more to come from the Trek franchise.
Here’s today’s full announcement:
The Clock is ticking! When Eaglemoss collapsed in 2022, we negotiated a deal with CBS and were appointed as the exclusive distributor for The Official Star Trek Starships Collection. That relationship comes to an end on June 15th, after which date the ships will no longer be available from MasterReplicas.com.
We’ll be running some promotions from now until then to help people fill any gaps in their collections, or to get that ship they’ve always wanted. Starting May 12 at 2pm ET / 11am PT / 7pm UK, for one week we’ve got a deal on all Starfleet ships: buy 3 for the price of 2, or 5 for the price of 3. As you can imagine, stock is low on a lot of items and everything will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
This is just the beginning for Master Replicas. We’ve signed many new contracts and are negotiating more. We have some amazing plans for Star Trek that we’ll be announcing very soon. Of course, we still have rights for other shows and are working on ships and much, much more for Stargate, Foundation, Blade Runner, Dune, and Doctor Who.
We believe that there haven’t been enough products for true fans — and we plan to do something about it.
Master Replica’s plans for the Trek product space may not include starship models any longer, but if their sold-out Star Trek: Lower Decks “Moopsy” plush is any indication, their creative team likely has some fun stuff in store for fans in the months ahead.
