Dennys "DenDen" Ilic, who is responsible for many wonderful photos and videos from the last days of the Battlestar Galactica series, has come out with a few new iPhone 4/4S cases based on his BSG photos. The newest BSG case now being offered is a photo of a distressed Colonial Phoenix and ring emblem as photographed from the wing of a Mark II Viper. The second is one of Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnnel) at the fountain of the Riverwalk Market on Caprica (as seen in the series finale "Daybreak"), after finding out that her sisters and father were killed in a car accident. These stunning cases...

What happens when Nicki Clyne (Cally Henderson Tyrol) merges South Park and Battlestar Galactica references together? Well, you get the "Oh My Gods! They Killed Cally!" t-shirt that she will be debuting at this year's New York Comic Con. The shirts are slated to retail at $20 USD, and will later be available for sale on Nicki Clyne's official website. They are apparently available in both men's and women's sizes, which haven't been directly specified. In the meantime, you can follow Nicki Clyne around on Facebook and Twitter, and even her blog.

Lisa Spodak, a Battlestar Galactica fan who has participated in 20 (yes, twenty) Avon Walks for Breast Cancer, is offering up signed teddy bears on eBay. As some BSG fans already know, Lisa has done this in the past, and last year she netted over $150,000 for last years Avon Walk. (Yes, that's more than I'll personally ever make in a year — but it's all going to a good cause, so who am I to complain?) Presently available until the end of today are signed breast cancer awareness bears and photographs (themselves unsigned, but featuring a breast cancer awareness bear) from Tahmoh Penikett...

Last week feature on the eBay DRADIS were the collectible drinking glasses from 1979, which sold just this evening for $36.00 USD (not including shipping and handling). This week, the focus shifts to something a bit more unique, and for those who want a display piece that is unique and reasonably affordable. In scouring newly launched eBay auctions, I came across a Viper Mark VII Diorama created from the officially-licensed Mark VII Viper that Moebius made a model kit for. What's unique about this listing is that, not only is the Mark VII Viper assembled and finished, but the fact that the modeler...

With the release of the Battlestar Galatica Solo Piano 2 CD set late last week, based from music arranged and composed by Bear McCreary's BSG Solo Piano Songbook, we scoured the internet looking for your reactions to it. So far, they seem overwhelmingly positive from the BSG fandom. However, there are a few people who didn't think it would work. One such reviewer, Jonathan Weilbaecher of The Flick Cast, believes that the release could have been condensed to one CD: Unfortunately I just don’t think this album as a whole works. The individual tracks are all very nice, and some are quite...

Former Caprica guest star Patton Oswalt (Baxter Sarno) has recently been interviewed by two websites regarding his acting and comedy career, in anticipation for the release of Finest Hour on iTunes. In PopMatter's interview, he talks about working as a comedian and offers the "only piece of advice that works": Oswalt: Go on stage a lot. That’s the only advice, that’s the only advice that works. Any other piece of advice is a waste of your time and is useless. The only advice you need is to go on stage a lot. It’s the answer to everything, it really is. I wish there was something more...

Skimming the frak-ton of eBay listings, you'll come across severely overpriced BSG props and goodies with sub-par photography and scant descriptions (from what we hear, it's apparently to keep the seller's wife placated, weirdly enough), and your standard offerings from people hocking comic books, DVD sets, action figures, and other merchandise. However, in that river you are bound to find a few nuggets of gold, and that's really the point of this entire column in the first place. Saturday's article mentioned the very cool fan-made Raptor jock smock kid's costume, which I'm pleased to report...
