UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - July 9, 2009 - NBC Universal has announced another batch of highly exclusive, special edition
collectible items from hit shows such as "The Office," "Heroes," "Chuck," "Caprica," and "Battlestar Gallactica," through the
NBCStore.com.
This year's exclusive, limited-run products include a "Schrute Farms Beets Watch," celebrating the #1 beet-related
agro-tourism destination in Northeastern Pennsylvania (a precious 1,000 units); a "Heroes Double Helix Necklace" that will
enable fans to advertise their Heroic status (just 1,000 units); a "Heroes-Sword Letter Opener" that replicates Hiro's famous
Kensei sword (1,000 units); a "Caprica USB Drive," celebrating the period 58 years prior to the events seen in Battlestar
Galactica (limited edition of 1,000 Units); and a "Chuck Supervisor Polo," as worn by the elite of the Buy More retail family
(1,000 units). Also available will be an updated version of last year's wildly popular chrome, pop-up style "Battlestar
Galactica Toaster" -- which creates the image of a Cylon on toast. The enhanced, 2009 edition -- the "Battlestar Galactica
LED Toaster" -- is also emblazoned with the face of a Cylon that has red glowing eyes made of LED lights (limited edition of
2,000 units). Online pre-orders for NBC merchandise begin today.
The NBCStore.com is also proud to help celebrate this year's Comic-Con in San Diego, CA, which takes place from July 22 to
