    Spray paint some old badly-moulded Micro Machines silver and glue them to a clock = Star Trek collectible??

    Did someone bend the nacelles on the Excelsior class ship, or are they trying to make it like the new movie ship?

    @Matthew Weflen:
    They're _supposed_ to be molded straight, but the thin parts had a tendancy to be twisted or warped, likely due to insufficient pre-ejection cooling times. So, the X-Wing guns pointed in odd directions, and Starfleet ships with long nacelles looked like they were flown out of spacedock by a blind chimpanzee.

    I'd forgotten that they made the Star Trek ships in pewter-tone finish, but I sure do remember that the older Starfleet vessels generally had severe cases of nacelle-twist.

    @XxL3THALxX:
    The only ships these clocks feature are the ones that were released in pewter-tone box sets. They made a fairly extensive array of Star Trek Micro Machines, but I don't think more than half of them got the pewter paintjob, and I'm almost certain they did not include the Defiant (though it was released with the standard TV-style deco).

    I'd think the expense would be in acquiring Micromachines. They've been out of print for some time.

    not worth $109. At most $50. I can make one for $20. Anyone want to pay me $20 bucks to make one for them? Yeesh.

    @MosesMonster: Yeah, I got that clock (without the cheap figures of course) at Target for $10. I mean, I'm all for capitalism, but with art it always felt like a con artist's game.

    It is (Galor class), and the regular version was painted a kind of mustardy yellow with a few bits (like the forked tail) done in a brownish tan.

    The irony of it is, if you're such a die-hard BSG nerd to actually buy this, then those people who'd get the reference when they see you wearing it, might be the few people on the plane you'd actually want to interact with.
