Write your reply.

assistant: That's the problem, The 3 Nacelle D comes EXCLUSIVE to a collectors set
2, along with the Pasteur. The Enterprise E comes exclusive to
collectors set 3. Both collector sets cost somewhere around $20 - $25,
they come with 9 ships (i think), those 2 collector sets should come
with most if not all the ships you are asking for. Since Galoob stopped
making the Star Trek Micro Machienes, the value automaticly goes up..
So, it would probly cost about $30 plus shipping EACH.
