Well, on a bit of a lark I put one of these in my Amazon shopping cart and just let it sit there for a while, logging on from time to time to check out other items and hoping that they'd throw a bone my way.
Whelp, they did, and I don't have the order in front of me at the moment, but iirc, after a couple of months they dropped the price by something approaching 20%. So...
Upon close inspection of the item, clamshell, and box, it appears to be a cleaned-up return, but it's essentially new and I'm perfectly happy with it, considering the discount. If I remember when I get home, I'll take a pic of it lit up. Annoying that either it was designed without a switch, or I'm too blond to find it, though...

It was the latter, I'm afraid. The ship is held in place on the stand by two powerful magnets, which also act as electrical contacts.
Eventually, I'll probably add a switch to the base.
