Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection is a partwork magazine produced by Eaglemoss Collections and is published in the UK.
Each fortnightly issue includes a twelve to fourteen centimeter long scaled replica of a starship from the Star Trek universe. Utilizing original Star Trek studio models for reference wherever they are available, these ABS plastic and zamac metal models are designed by Adam Lebowitz.
The accompanying magazine has twenty pages and features articles about the design, filming, and on-screen appearances of the original studio model. Detailed information about the vessel's crew, weapons, and technology is also included.

Test Marketing
Edit
The first five issues were test-marketed at retail in England's South West region beginning in May 2012. UK subscriptions to the magazine were made available at the company's website at the same time.
Due to unexpected heavy demand and the resulting production and distribution issues, new subscriptions were suspended at the end of July, 2012. Upon receipt of the first five issues, subscribers were advised that the magazine had been suspended and that confirmation of forthcoming magazines from the publisher was pending. Gift premiums were not distributed to subscribers. This type of early "test release" is common practice for partwork publishers.

UK National MarketingEdit
On September 13, 2012, a Facebook page was established for the magazine and Eaglemoss later announced that a national roll-out of the line was slated for February, 2013. New subscriptions resumed on September 17, 2012 and the company confirmed that gift premiums and more issues were forthcoming for subscribers and retailers. The company has provisional plans for seventy issues and displayed a list at the Destination Star Trek London convention in October, 2012.
On January 9, 2013, the company announced that the line would be indefinitely delayed until a new manufacturer is found, following the closure of their contracted production facility by Chinese authorities. The line's name was also changed to the "Star Trek: The Official Starship Collection" on its Facebook page.[1] but the previous name was restored in May, 2013.
In early April, 2013, Eaglemoss sent emails to subscribers stating that the line was back in production and would resume shipping in August, 2013. This relaunch date was confirmed on the line's newly redesigned website in May, 2013.
