Outside of Eaglemoss's shop, Amazon has a nice selection, but also BigBadToyStore and Entertainment Earth. The latter two are also good about allowing you to preorder most items if they're expecting a restock.

I ended up getting all the Wolf 359 ships (but not the ST Phase 2 concepts and Excelsior concepts, couldn't be bothered with those). I feel the extended rane of Miranda variants calling me, still, and I quite like the Rhode Island - but then I'll have to get the Equinox too...

I've recently picked up a bunch of their Battle of Sector 001 models and, uh, not a huge fan of them, frankly. (They're LITERALLY too flat for my tastes).
Also got their Oberth-Class model. Absolutely fantastic!
Here's my collection, taking the top two shelves of an IKEA Fjallbo. Acrylic risers from The Container Store, lighting from IKEA, and I want to add a mirrored motorized turntable under Deep Space Nine.

Oh, there are a few models I have displayed elsewhere. Maybe at some point they'll make the transition over -- the XL Enterprise-J, the XL Runabout, XL Romulan Warbird, and XL Klingon battlecruiser, plus the Special Edition Enterprises from the 2009 film, and Beyond.

I'm not really a fan of the way these ships are mounted. It's just destracting to have parts of the ship obscured by the clear plastic forks. The Jupiter Station solution is especially displeasing.

Cerritos and Jupiter Station both arrived yesterday. Cerritos is pretty great but doesn't want to stay on the stand, and is missing some window detail on the saucer rim; also, the paint app is slightly misaligned which is frustrating if you take the time to look hard for the window imprints on the hull.
Eaglemoss did announce a Stargazer XL -- but unfortunately, it suffers from the same issues as the original release (saucer isn't deep enough).
I've also been ordering several of the shuttle sets. As a freak accident, in place of one of them, they sent me the oversized shuttlepod and type-7 (I think? the one that was modified from STV) shuttle that are supposed to be subscriber specials for those doing the "Build the Enterprise" kit. These are awesome! I hope the other subscriber specials are made available for order, or that Eaglemoss sends me the other sets by accident in the future. They're gigantic, and heavy, and look great.
Not Star Trek related, but Eaglemoss will be doing a Serenity model coming this summer.
The Defiant concept is wild and amazing. Highly recommend.
I love the Mayflower, Newton, and Armstrong from the 2009 film.
Also picked up Starbase 1 and the Section 31 starbases from a deep discount on the STD line. These are huge models!
I hope we continue to see more starbase models. I'd love to see the starbase depicted in the art behind Picard's desk, as well as the starbase we've seen in Lower Decks.
Recently Eaglemoss did restock a lot of models that had been unavailable. I was able to pick up the three concept Excelsiors, TNG-era Buran, the Melbourne, Bonaventure, and the Miranda-Class Antares variant from DS9; still waiting to acquire an Awanahee and Pasteur.
