Time again for the digital catalog of ornaments arriving
July and October...
LINK
Tempted by the ROGUE ONE Vader Hallway, but definitely
picking up the BSG Classic Colonial Viper, the USS
Cerritos, and possibly the Mr. Spock one, which appears
to be based on the old AMT model kit.
Not really interested in the metal NCC-1701-G, since I
already picked up the USS Titan version last year.

The ornament USS Cerritos looks nicer and seems to have way more detail than the Master Replicas die cast model I bought last year. And it is almost the exact same price. Very frustrating.

The Cerritos, yes. Nothing else calling to me just now. Amused by the Spock ornament based on the original (and ridiculous) Aurora model kit. Looks like they even went for the incorrectly sculpted trouser cuffs.

Love the idea of the lights & sound Galileo, but kind of high price point for me. Really loving the vintage Boba Fett/Kenner and Batman/Mego figure replicas--neat ideas!!
Classic Battlestar Galactica will always speak to me, so I guess if I had to pick one that was a personal no-brainer, it's the Viper.

Well, it is Hallmark Ornament Premiere Day...
Picked up The Cerritos, broke down and picked up the
metal Enterprise 1701-G...
It was the heft of being metal, much like the 1701 Connie
of years ago, that changed my mind.
BSG Viper and the Vader Hallway ornaments won't be until
October.
The Galileo shuttle ornament was a lot bigger than I
expected.

Still have my OG Shuttlecraft Galileo ornament. Over playing Spock's "Shuttlecraft to Enterprise..." is a Christmas tradition.

I've long had and enjoyed the old shuttlecraft with Spock's rap as well; as you say, an Xmas standby. The two Pirates of the Caribbean offerings speak to me though $50+ is a lot for an ornament so I'll likely hope some remain and swoop in to the local brick and mortar store clearance sale later for them. Often the best stuff is gone by then but sometimes it has worked out really well. The Colonial Viper is the first BSG example I've seen that looks pretty accurate so I might drop some cubits on that too.

Oct 10th is the premiere of the 2nd wave of Ornaments.
Local shop had some on display, and the TOS BSG Colonial
Viper was larger than I expected, so definitely picking
that one up.
The ROGUE ONE Vader in the Hallway ornament was nice, but
just had the sound effects, not the music, so passing on
that.
