If you’ve been eyeing one of the QMx Cylon Raider Artisan Replicas, but don’t want to take the funds away from your first love, Serenity, here’s another way you can maybe score yourself one these shiny ships: ThinkGeek.com, the premier purveyor of All Things Geek, has purchased themselves one of the first QMx Cylon Raider replicas and has decided to give it away.

Which begs the question: What could have happened to so swiftly shift the balance of power to the Alliance?
