Favorite and worst Trek Ornaments

[Trek4Ever]

Being we're in the midst of the holidays, many like myself are getting or put up Trek ornaments. I'm not sure if this topic came up recently but what's your favorite Trek ornament or the one that really blows?
It's hard for me to pick one top ornament but have a couple of candidates:
Enterprise A with its beautiful lighting, too bad it's battery operated and keeps turning off.
Enterprise D from 93
the very first one, the original Enterprise, it looks a bit clunky but love the blinking lights.
The Defiant
The Delta Flyer
As for the ones that stunk, I pick these:
the Scorpion fighter, why make an ornament based on a movie that bombed the previous year?
the Borg Cube, dull and drab
Galileo shuttlecraft and the Runabout, both shuttles are pretty unimpressive in design though faithfully reproduced.
Any others?

My customized tree-topper. The original (a "Star Trek Experience" TOS blue-shirted Spock ornament) didn't have the maroon jacket, or the wings and halo. It seemed more logical for a Spock angel to be wearing the clothes he died in!

I also love this, with a holiday message from Leonard Nimoy as Spock:

Because they require an 18 month lead time, and Hallmark was assuming "Nemesis" would be a highly coveted money-spinner.

^^ That explains alot, boy the folks at Hallmark must've been furious when Nemesis bombed and were stuck with the Scorpion ship. That and the little known Vulcan cruiser from Enterprise could be why they went back to more traditional ships, hence three Enterprises in a row. Might be four in a row if next year's ornament is the Enterprise from the upcoming movie.

Are they still selling Star Trek ornaments anywhere?

The Hallmark shops have the current ornaments and wait til after Xmas to get them half price. But Ebay is where you can find the older ornaments, I managed to get the ones I needed for my collection from there.

I'm just glad that they finally seem to have mastered the art of putting the hook in the same general area as the ornament's center of gravity.

I got the future AGT Enterprise today while Christmas shopping.

Man, Trek was so trippy back in the 60s.

Oh, why not do it on the supercheap and do screengrabs and printouts of your favorite TrekBBS avatars, cut them out individually, and tape one end of a piece of thread to the back of each to make TrekBBS tree ornaments?
