....the Vulcan Shuttle Surak? Only ever seen for a brief moment, during Start Trek The Motion Picture, delivering Spock to the disabled Starship Enterprise. I thought how it docked was pretty cool too!
However, after this short scene, it was just gone. And, when I mean gone, poof, never to be seen again onscreen. This has always struck me as odd, since Star Trek, from the shows through the movies, has recycled many ship models in either their original form or modified to stand-in for something else/new. But, not this one?
Even out in the real world, only one model was produced. Although the box art has been updated over the years....
....finding one in a local store can be a daunting task. The internet has opened up the possibilities of acquiring one with better success, these days.
Still, I wonder if this forgotten ship will ever make another appearance onscreen, someday....
