I got my launch pads and Eagle Transporter models today, and let me tell you they were worth the money! The launch pad even has the whole quote from the master computer "human decision required" from Breakaway. Well done, Sixteen 12!
Its too bad they didn't put the white window frames on the command modules as the rest of the paint work is so detailed and very well done. I'm guessing too small a scale to do it easily or too difficult to do at all. Still they look amazing!
Glad to see the lights are using warm white LED's now. The previous mockups were using cool white LED's which didn't match the series model. There does seem to be a glow on the edges from the lights. If the bottom is open probably could put some black paint on the inside to block that.
I received the Launch Pad and my two mini Eagles (Freighter and Rescue) a little over 4 hours ago. (I own all the 12" Eagles except the Freighter Eagle, purchased when Sixteen12 was Product Enterprise). I hadn't seen this video before. I opened the Eagles first and they are great - the level of detail is astounding on such small models. My only gripe was with the landing struts, as there is a web of flashing there at the back of the strut, where the bend is located. Not too noticeable when displaying, but I am a stickler for detail. The only other thing was the tape on the clamshell - I could have done without that. The graphic on the card in the clamshell was great, however. The launch pad is impressive, but I have three major problems with it, that almost ruin it for me . . . . The whole thing is very professionally finished, it practically looks like the production models used on the show . . . but . . . . It has three glaringly obvious flaws that stick out like a sore thumb. 1) LIGHTS, SOUND, and DOCKING in solid capital letters on the top of the depot itself. WHAT?! That was a TERRIBLE design choice. It makes the thing look like a toy, and not a display piece, which is what I believe we all really wanted, for many decades now; 2) the buttons themselves should have been the entire raised detail surface, instead of another surface within it (raised rectangles for LIGHTS and SOUND, a square for DOCKING). Also, the buttons themselves are a lighter color that the surrounding finish; 3) the ON/OF switch is sticking out the back of the depot module - could this not have been secreted underneath where the batteries are? As I said, I am a stickler for detail, and it seems that some of that was inexplicably sacrificed in this highly anticipated piece . . . I have to find a way to wipe off those letters!

Hertfordshire UK customer received Rescue/VIP/Laboratory and Freighters today- long awaited ...AMAZING. WELL DONE SIXTEEN 12!!!!
Too bad it's made in China. My collection of the 1/72 scale is soon to be at an end, thankfully.
Outstanding detail. Looks really nice. However, I looked this stuff up on Amazon and someone is INSANE with prices.
