I so want a Raptor or a Viper, but I prefer having the cash to afford food, heh. | |
So you have the choice between a car and a replica of a spaceship. I'd go for the Replica and put a bumper sticker on it saying "This IS my other car!" | |
I think I'd have to stick with the actual car, but I'm just no fun. | |
Gimme a TIE-Fighter any day. THAT would be worth $20k. *starts waving hands around making TIE-fighter noises* | |
I'd be more interested in a Viper if it were fully functional. | |
So, at least we know the conversion rate between colonial cubits and USD. | |
But some wheels and a motor on/in it and you can drive it down the street. | |
Hmm, actually, come to think of it, I want a Battlestar! | |
They already auctioned off most of the cic and just about everything else is crazy expencive, a book from the background goes for like 100 min I could never afford to buy a prop. | |
Never got into Battlestar but I love collecting cool stuff like that. Just an idea. | |
How much for my own Edwards James Olmos? I need a good military man for when I build my personal army. Katee Sackhoff on the other hand, purely for personal recreation ; D | |
I wish had the cash for a Viper, Mark II or VII I'd take it, they're my favorite fighters after all. | |
I would love one of them sexy Viper mk VII's. Now if only they could really work, damn.... | |
That would be epic on so many levels... OK, staff, start sellin' shirts whose profits go towards a badass spaceship! | |
I'd like to own one of the ships. Way out of my price range though. | |
I would totally purchase one of those ships, if I had the cash. Which I don't. *cries* So much stuff: so little dough. | |
*looks at picture* I thought Vipers were white...interesting... On the other hand, I want a Raptor, fully functional. That ship has FTL for the Gods' sake! Taking girls on a date to another galaxy is something different :D | |
Nah, though a flight suit would be good for cosplay if i was into that sort of thing. | |
No Mark II Vipers for sale? Hardly worth it in a Cylon attack, those Mark VIIs are networked. | |

Battlestar Galactica Ships Up For Grabs
Ever dreamt of battling Cylon Raiders in deep space? Well, if you have some spare cash, you can make that dream just a little bit more real.
Now that Battlestar Galactica is finished, there are plenty of props hanging around doing nothing but collecting dust and NBC/Universal have decided to auction them off. The variety of items on offer is simply staggering, ranging from medals and rank insignia, to rocket launchers and flight helmets. You can even buy currency and letters, should such things tickle your fancy.
The main attraction however, are the two full sized fighters. A Raptor or a Mark VII Viper - which, in my humble opinion, is much cooler - could be yours. Both ships have fully functioning interiors, with light-up panels and monitors. Propworx, the company running the auction, says that they think they're going to have a Cylon ship available as well.
But if you're planning on investing is some BSG memorabilia, you'd better have deep pockets. A 500 cubit note will set you back $77 and a flight suit will cost in the region of $2000. The top prizes, the ships, were previously auctioned on eBay and although bids for both ships reached around $21,000, neither met the reserve price.
The auction takes place in Pasadena on May 8-10.
