The ships look much more detailed on these pictures!

Moved to march 2018!
Here we are in March, and not even an updated ETA, let alone actual minis.
Gotta agree with the others re: high price. Especially considering the relatively small role starship combat tends to play so far in both the AP and SFS. In SFS, the starship combat is usually 1 encounter within a scenario, and occurs in perhaps 1 scenario in 3. The AP seems about the same. Of course, with homebrew campaigns, the ratio could vary wildly. Still, $35 + shipping for 3 minis is pretty steep, especially since you either will only use 2 for one-on-one combats, or will need more than 3 ships for more complicated combats. And again, they'll only see use every 3rd session or so, and almost certainly not for an entire session.
Any idea on when we'll see an updated ETA?

I don't think these will be available before may or even june 2018, if ever.
Why?
Because wave 1 of the unpainted kickstarter minis are supposed to ship then.
So far only a few prototypes have been "produced".
If the first wave KS includes these ship minis, there will be enough additional ones produced, which then need to be painted by Ninja Division staff.
I wouldn't be surprized if these got cancelled, though.

"Hey Marco, Yes we can confirm that the pre-paints have begun to arrive in distribution and we've received ours for Paizo.com.
Ninja Division has not set a uniform street date for these so the next step for us is to try and find the best date to begin shipping them out to those that pre-ordered from us. Most likely this will begin later this week so get your pre-orders in while supplies last (or go to your local FLGS and grab/order them)."

After seeing the quality of the iconic minis (see my reviews), I'm not gonna drop $36 for three ships, all of which are the size of small or medium figures. I really don't know what Ninja Division is smoking to think that their price point is reasonable for what you are getting. Their product is marginally better than Wiz Kids, but not $12 per mini for a small/medium sized fig better.

I agree.
Buy them from online-shops for $10 less. ;-)
