Good show. I can't believe that Enterprise model went for $500,000.! Amazing! That's like buying 2 houses!Well, one house, depending on where you live!
How about 4? OK, I live in a bad neighborhood...
Did you notice the estimate in the auction catalog? I think it was something like $8K-$12K. That was also the estimate for the Klingon Bird of Prey, which went for $260K. It would be great to know where the models went -- I hope they wind up on display.
Along with the models (which hubby liked best), I loved the commentary on the costumes, especially everyone's complaint about "no pockets" and the way Picard would yank on his shirt to get the wrinkles out. I guess costume problems are "universal" (pun intended...)
I was also very interested in the girl who bought Picard's fencing gear, since I'm now addicted to that sport.
It was a very enjoyable show, and many thanks for telling us!
P. S. Kai and Leda, I watched the original Star Trek with my dad, and my mom would come in and tap her foot and tell us we should stop watching "that silly show". You can imagine her comment recently when she stopped by my office and saw a picture of me in my Jedi Halloween costume, complete with robe and glowing saber. ;D
