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.

Hallmark Star Trek Storytellers Script

Any two ornaments from the 2020-2022 Hallmark Star Trek Storytellers collection would provide a quick back and forth between characters using sound clips from the Star Trek episode Mirror, Mirror. Introduce another ornament and a new experience was revealed. To get the full nine minute and twenty second experience you needed all eight Storytellers ornaments.

Below (page 2) is the complete eight-ornament Star Trek Storytellers script followed by a transcript of the episode Mirror, Mirror highlighting all the dialogue that can be heard in the Hallmark Storytellers collection.

2025 Dream Book and Star Trek Lineup!

We finally get to lay our eyes on the 2025 Hallmark Star Trek lineup and it is spectacular. Nine ornaments in all representing six Trek series! Of course we knew about Prodigy’s Janeway and Picard’s U.S.S. Titan but there is also a big Borg table decoration, TNG’S Guinan, a Lower Decks two pack of Boimler and Mariner, a Star Trek arcade game and even minis of U.S.S. Voyager and Seven of Nine in her plum catsuit! WHEW!!!

We will delve deeper into the individual ornaments later but for now let’s just soak these in…

Miniature ornaments…

With word spreading about Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments’ 2025 assortment, I’m back to share some background on our Star Trek offerings for this year.

Representing Star Trek: The Next Generation, we have Guinan in a pose inspired by her appearance in the season 2 episode “Q Who.” Available in October.

Representing Star Trek: Picard, we have the U.S.S. Titan NCC-80102-A as seen in season 3. Available in October.

Representing Star Trek: Prodigy, we have Hologram Janeway, the U.S.S. Protostar’s holographic training advisor. Available in October.

Representing fan-favorite Star Trek official products, we have a re-creation of 1983’s Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator Arcade Game in its sit-down “Captain’s Chair” cabinet. This ornament features a lighted display and original sounds from the game. Available in October.

Indulge me in a little elaboration on this ornament. How many of us wanted to own this arcade game? How many of us actually do? Well, as far as I’m concerned, this ornament is the next best thing to it. I still am pinching myself that it actually exists. Keepsake Artist Orville Wilson and Hallmark sound engineer Chris Johnson did masterful work bringing this to life considering the lengths we went for source material. The sculpt is based on dozens of photos I took of a sit-down cabinet on display in the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, Nevada. The cabinet graphics were recreated by Orville from art on a brochure for the game I picked up on eBay. The gameplay heard in the ornament and seen on the display was captured while I played an online emulator of the game. I hope you relish it as much as I!

To celebrate the fifth anniversary of Star Trek: Lower Decks, we have a two-pack of Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Bradward Boimler. Available in July.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: Voyager, we have two miniature ornaments:

Seven of Nine in a plum variation of her outfit prescribed by the Emergency Medical Hologram, which debuted in season 5. Available in October.

—The U.S.S. Voyager in a scaled-down version. Available in October.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Star Trek: The Next Generation two-part episode “The Best of Both Worlds,” we have the Beware the Borg! Table Decoration. When connected to its included power cord, the cube can be set to either a continuing colorful light display or a light display accompanied by atmospheric sound effects of a Borg cube interior. When the button is pressed, the cube plays a three-act performance of dialogue and sound effects from the episode.

There you have it—our complete lineup for 2025. Or is it . . . ?
