2025 SDCC Enterprise G Preorders on eBay

It’s that time of year when you can ”preorder” a comic-con exclusive ornament from someone who will be attending the convention next month. This year’s exclusive is the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-G which is a repaint of the U.S.S. Titan which will be in Hallmark stores October 11, 2025.

The Enterprise G will be available at San Diego Comic-Con in July. A convention price has not been disclosed but it will be far less than the $135-$150 that is being asked for by eBay sellers. Once ornaments actually get is the hands of fans next month eBay prices will likely fall below $100. Our advice is to be patient.

UPDATE: After the first day of SDCC, eBay prices fell to $85-$90. Now that SDCC is over, the ornament can be commonly found for $65-$70.

Event Exclusive Just Became More Exclusive!

The 2024 Event Exclusive Enterprise B with Nexus damage has been promoted as being limited to a quantity of 3200.

U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B (Nexus Damage), Star Trek Generations™ Keepsake Ornament – To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Star Trek Generations feature film, this lighted event-exclusive Keepsake Ornament depicts damage sustained by the U.S.S. Enterprise-B while encountering the Nexus ribbon.—Only 3,200 Produced! $35.

Today, being the first day the ornament has been in the public’s hands, we see printed on the ornament’s packaging that the Enterprise B is limited to 3,000.

Did we lose 200 ornaments to the Nexus? Aye.

‘24 San Diego Comic Con Begins Today!

Hallmark will again have two booths at the convention — Booth #2913S in the Star Wars Pavilion, where you can purchase this year’s Star Wars exclusives and find a showcase of Hallmark’s other Star Wars items.

All other exclusives will be available at the Hallmark For All Fankind Booth #3348, where they will also have a variety of pop culture and gaming items available for purchase, as well as sneak previews, and a button giveaway. Also be sure to stop by on Thursday, July 25 – Sunday, July 28 for your chance to meet Rainbow Brite daily from 10am-2pm.

Hallmark’s exclusives will be split between San Diego Comic-Con, New York Comic-Con — and there will be daily allotments available at the booth.
