If, like me, you're still totally gutted that Battlestar Galactica, you can take solace in the fact that an opportunity has arisen that will give you the chance to continue the adentures of Starbuck, Apollo et al - all you need is a lot of disposable income.
It turns out that BSG's parent company NBC is auctioning off the majority of the show's props on eBay. Want to know what's up for grabs? Well, where do we begin?!
The biggest item for sale is an actual Raptor fighter ship used in the show. "It has a full, functional interior with light-up panels and monitors throughout..." is how the ship is being plugged on eBay. After 43 bids, the price was $28,100.00 but this didn't meet the auction's reserve, so it's now up for grabs at a "live" auction beginning on May 8 in Pasadena.
If that's a little out of your price range, you could always plump for a cigar box, jumpsuit or napkin, all of which have been featured on the show and are marked with a hologram of the BSG logo to verify its authenticity.
Now, we're told by H+ Magazine that there's no reserve price set for any of the props ("whatever it goes for, it goes."), so while I can't really justify stretching for a Raptor I might just see if there's change in my pocket for a genuine cubit note or two. What about you? Fancy owning a genuine piece of Battlestar Galactica memorabilia?
