A BSG Raptor Costs More Than A Toyota Camry

Full Sized Raptor from Battlestar Galactica
When a show as awesome as Battlestar Galactica breaks down the sets and closes its doors for good, what happens to all the props?  eBay is definately the destination for most of them, but as it turns out a beautifully crafted full-scale 1:1 Raptor fell short of the reserve price when the highest bid was at a mere $28,100.  This means the vehicle costs more than your average brand new car.

I don’t know how you feel about owning one of these, and becoming the envy of all the geeks in  your town, but I know I want it badly.  Screw driving the Schuykill everyday to work, I’ll fly there. More photos of this vehicle after the break.

For the record, this thing doesn’t actually fly…which is why I’m sad now.
