Tips & Warnings
If buying used, but sure to read the description carefully. You don't want to buy a broken ship without knowing about it beforehand.
Ask the seller questions if the description is unclear.
If you don't want to buy a ship online, try local comic book stores or used toy stores. They usually have older and more specialized toys and may have what you're looking for.

I want an actual ship used in a show or movie. A bunch of them sold at auction a few years ago for a massive amount.
