To be perfectly honest we don’t currently own any Battlestar Galactica toys. And that’s a problem.

The piece de resistance for the modern Battlestar Galactica toy collector has to be the Art Asylum version of the new BSG 75 Battlestar Galactica ship.

We tried to get one when they were still brand new and ‘on the shelf’ but they were impossible to find.

On eBay there is currently one listing – starting at a whopping $129.99 (which kinda sounds like a lot but considering how rare this is…that’s not too crazy).

On the old stuff side…how bout a Classic Viper together with 3 figures?

Sounds like a decent haul right??

Bidding on that is now only at $6.50 !!

So what’s the lesson here? If you want old/classic stuff — it won’t cost much, but good luck finding bargain basement pricing on new BSG toys.

De las escenas más emocionantes de las serie de Televisión Battlestar Galactica, Diamond Select ha rescatado una “estatua de resina” de la nave de combate Viper VII perteneciente a la “Colonial Fleet”.

Durante la Toy Fair de este año vimos un adelanto de éste y otros modelos . Pero bueno acá tenemos el comunicado oficial.

La foto de rigor:

Características:

• Mide alrededor de 8 pulgadas de alto.
• Cubierta de cabina removible.
• Trae una base muy fea.
• Producción limitada a 2.004 unidades
• Cada nave trae pintado a mano el numero de manufactura.
• Precio: US $150.-
• Salida a la venta Agosto de 2008

Comentario personal: La base espero sea una broma de mal gusto, parece adorno de torta de cumpleaños.
