    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.

      We have Defiant at home.

      It’s the Valiant.

    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.
