Reception
The Fleet File Collection series in general has garnered a mixed response; reviewers praise the level of detail and the included booklet, but the expense and the small size and variety of the models were criticised.

Background information
Although its Vol.5 model bears the crest of the Goldenlöwe Dynasty, the Theodoricus's only appearances in the series slightly predate the use of these markings, and therefore this variant is never actually seen on screen. The vessel's Goldenbaum variant is included in Fleet File Collection Vol.10.
