By Grabthar's hammer, by the sons of Worvan! 10 years later, they are finally making stuff based on 1999's GALAXY QUEST! Unfortunately, Star Trek has since been rebooted and is no longer "silly" in the mainstream public's eye, which kind of deflates the parody aspect that was Galaxy Quest at the time of its release. Will people quickly snatch these up? Or will they spend their money on actual Star Trek gear instead? Regardless, I think I'll rewatch Galaxy Quest this week!

I love Jim Smash, always a fun read.

Uh-oh, Vox Communicator?

GW Legal's gonna have a field day with this one.

**warboss**

of course star trek is still silly. it may want to be die hard IN SPAAACCEE!! but the engine room still looks like my high school's boiler room, lol. now that's silly.

**Agamemnon2**

Nice, quite nice. Will have to pick that ship up if I ever run into it.

**Ahtman**

Galaxy Quest > Star Trek. There, I said it.

**Xanthos**

Does the ship come with a beryllium sphere? If so, I may have to try and find a copy of it.

I still remember being 8-9 years old and seeing it in theaters. Awesome models.

YES! ugh, i was so disapointed by that. It felt like something out of Stargate more than a snazzy starship engineering section.

They'd try and fail. Vox was a word before GW used it.

Naw, Games Workshop would nev [This message is under investigation by The Workshop, the merchandise listed in this thread is considered to resemble The Product and therefore a Cease and Desist Life has been issued to the manufacturers unless they prove to be a bigger company than we are in which case we'll be back under our rock so fast there'll be sparks. The Workshop is Mother, The Workshop is Father, be a productive citizen] nd therefore would likely show a magnanimous attitude.

Are you my greatest fan? Following me from thread to thread to hang on my every word?

"Wee need your help ..."

Cool stuff but ...

Of all the Sci-Fi movies and shows in the history of Film and Television they went with Galaxy Quest ?! Maybe they can do UFO next ? That show had some great vehicles !!

I suppose it all comes down to licensing ...

Can't we like both?

**Anung Un Rama**

Where would be the fun in Galaxy Quest if Star Trek wouldn't have been there in the first place?
