Oh cheers. Once again I have to do all the work. I'm the one who has to tell Timmy up there that it's "shits and giggles", and I'm the one who has to think up a joke about Simon "Supersized" Sizers Supersized Sizing Situation.

Oi.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, this probably deserves a thread of it's own, but it's related, so. . .

The guy who is selling the console is apparently named Tony too, and look, it's the very same transporter console in the very same room!

So if he spent �8,000 for it, he's going to make a profit of 37,500% (minus shipping).

Thought it was, but you know, all starships look the same inside. . . what am I saying?!

At least the Sun spelt Picard's name right this time. What was that article frmo a few months ago? "Star Trek went of the air in 1997 and there are no plans to make any more episodes"?

Brilliantly, they didn't even get past the first line of body text before they used a cliche!

Aren't you yanks jealous of our high quality tabloids?

I went to the link in Bernd's first page, but it said invalid item. So what was it exactly?

--------------------
I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

Try this:
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&ht=1&query=transporter+console
or type "transporter console" in their search engine

I think I came into this discussion too late, because I'm not seeing anything except "invalid item." Pray tell, what was this?

"A film made in 2008 isn't going to look like a TV series from 1966 if it wants to make any money. As long as the characters act the same way, and the spirit of the story remains the same then it's "real" Star Trek. Everything else is window dressing." -StCoop

A replica of a TNG-style transporter control console. Rather well done, actually, complete with backlit Okuda-style panel.

So, wait, does this mean someone actually bought the thing for 3 million?

Making your house look like a Trek ship is kinda neat. I wouldn't mind living in a house like that.

Putting in a cardboard cutout of Picard, walking around in a SF uniform, and making your wife leave you... that's a bit much...

Well, as long as her snotty son comes around now and then and saves the whole house because he's so smart.

Here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1151616631

You can also search for Transporter console and check the box "search completed items."
