I just learned that you can buy replicas of the Ion Nebulizer and Vox props from Galaxy Quest... and a miniature of the NSEA Protector.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Galaxy Quest Nebulizer, Vox and NSEA Protector

Actually, MiM is offering the ship for $29. Which is why I promptly cancelled my BBTS order and placed one with MiM.
My Order Confirmation E-Mail said:
Usually, I'm ok with paying an extra few dollars for BBTS due to the pile of loot feature, and the ability to get collectors grade on most things. But every once and a while, they'll have a product they really gouge you on, and I've got to find some place else to get it from. $8 price difference might not seem like a lot, but... it adds up.
I do wish BBTS would be more accurate and update the ETA's of items though. I've had items on order that state "March of XXXX" year, and May of the next they still aren't out... *shakes head* I know they aren't why its delayed; but the manufacturer certainly relays delay notes to distributors. Wish it would get passed on to the buyers.
I guess MiM increased the price, because it's $39.99 now.
RATS! Wish I'd known this before Christmas, because I would have asked for that miniature of the Protector!
^I'd like to know this as well.
I'm tempted to purchase all of these things (Despite the fact that I know I shouldn't)
I've been toying with the idea of assembling a cache of prop "blasters" from my favorite Sci-Fi Series
-Firefly - Mal's Pistol
-Farscape - John's Pulse Pistol: Winona
-Galaxy Quest - Nebulizer
-Stargate: Jaffa Zat'nik'tel'
Oddly enough, I don't care about having a phaser or not.

I just picked up my Protector after having ordered it through Bookery Fantasy.
It's awesome. I already pitched the box. Yes, I'm a heathen, but I've wanted a display model of the Protector ever since I first watched Galaxy Quest, and darn it, I wanted to display it.
The box is very nice, though.
The model is much larger than I expected. The product descriptions online just say that the model is 1:1400 scale, but since I don't know the "real" ship's length, the scale didn't help me to estimate the size of the model. The model measures some 31 cm in length, so the "real" ship is about 434 meters long. A model length of 31 cm seems small, but the model "feels" larger, because of its shape.
One bonus is that the command ship can separate, and it "attaches" magnetically, so there are no unsightly pegs or holes.
The model looks very nice, especially for $40. It's every bit as nice -- if not nicer -- than the Art Asylum Trek ships. The Protector has no lights or electronics, but I don't miss them, especially because they probably would have required the "arc" pylons to be thicker.
I can't snap photos at the moment, because I'm swamped with MBA homework. Suffice it to say that the Pegasus Hobbies Protector model is worth its retail price.

I love that movie, but buying toys from it is far too meta on top of meta...or something. I don't even know how to describe it. It just feels wrong is all.

I would love to see pictures when you do get a chance. I'm seriously considering getting this.
Nice!
