I would love to have one of those. Couldn’t find any active listings, but old listings had them going for like $250+ which isn’t too bad for a collector’s item, I guess.
I did come across a TNG CD holder: www.ebay.com/itm/117030364928
Apparently you can only fit 4 compact discs in a Galaxy class ship lol
Wow, that’s very helpful for uh, holding… four CDs I guess.
There are five CDs! How many do you see now?
Who has only four cd’s?
Depending on when it came out $250 wouldn’t even have been that expensive. I think the early discmans were about that price, albeit for a bundle that came with headphones and a car charger and stuff.
It looks nothing like the picture on the box
We have Defiant at home.
It’s the Valiant.
Does it cloak?
That’s why nobody can find theirs anymore.
This is one of the sexier objects
The 90s were a wild time to be alive.
That packaging is way too large.
Given the shape of it, it would have been rude not to.
Am I the only one thinking this liiks like AI slop? The text on the box is super inconsistent
ooh okay! Also, I noticed it might be some lightning/shimmering effect making it look really odd.
Could also be a bad AI upscale. My iphone does it with text that’s far away
I’d love to listen to listen to my nu metal CD’s on this.
Did it have anti skip? Did it play mp3?

If you owned one of these and it broke it would have been replaced under warranty, but instead of shipping you another USS Defiant CD player, they’d send you a USS São Paulo CD player. You could still call it the Defiant after-the-the-fact, but deep down you would know it wasn’t the same.

You got a Sao Paulo? All I got was a shitty Valiant.
