What Stargate gift to give for Christmas?

Christmas is fast approaching. One of your loved ones is a fan of the Stargate franchise and you would like to give them a gift on the theme of his favorite series. But now, the fateful date is approaching and, less than two weeks before the big day, you still don’t know what to give him.

To help you make your choice, our editorial team has decided to offer you a selection of some ideas for Christmas gifts which will please all fans of the franchise Stargate.

The classic: a Stargate DVD box set

Our first Stargate gift idea suggestion is simple but still effective: offer a DVD box set of episodes from the Stargate series. Any fan of the saga likes to rewatch the best episodes of the series. What could be better than giving him the complete collection of complete episodes of the Stargate franchise on DVD.

In addition to being a 100% legal way to view episodes, DVD boxes have the advantage of offering access to the famous DVD bonuses and episodes commented by the actors and writers. All these bonuses provide a wealth of details and additional information on the episodes and behind the scenes of their filming.

The complete 10 seasons of SG-1 is available new on Amazon for around €70, and the SGA boxes et SGU are priced at around fifty euros each. If you prefer to avoid Amazon, you can find the same boxes at similar prices chez Culture et at Fnac on their online store or even in a physical store near you.

By ordering now, the boxes should arrive in time to be under the Christmas tree!

Concerning possible Blu-rays, unfortunately no box set has ever been released in France. You can still order them for import from North America or the United Kingdom, but without any guarantee on the price, delivery times or even on the presence of a VF. Also be careful about the zoning of your Blu-rays and that of your player.

A Stargate video game

If your loved one has already seen and rewatched all the episodes of the series dozens of times and already has the entire collection of DVDs from the franchise, why not allow them to extend the experience by video game ?

This year 2024 saw the release of an official video game on the theme of the Stargate franchise: Stargate Timekeepers.

Stargate Timekeepers is an RTS, that is to say a real-time tactics game, in which the player controls a small team made up of several characters who each have their own specialty and skills. The goal of the game is to carry out missions by completing various objectives and preventing your team from being decimated by the Jaffa armies. The game features a story with a storyline that begins just after the Battle of Antarctica at the end of Stargate SG-1 Season 7.

The game was released this year in two parts and has been available in full version since last October, offering 14 missions to players. It is available for purchase on Steam at €28.99 (CHF33.50).

Even if fan reception of this game has been mixed, we can only advise you to try it!

A Stargate spaceship model

Your loved one has already seen and re-watched the entire installments of the Stargate franchise numerous times and has completed every known Stargate game. Why not give him a physical object on the theme of the saga?

For this, we can only advise you to turn to the reduced size models of Eaglemoss and Master Replicas ! Master Replicas (which took over Eaglemoss products) indeed offers for purchase a wide range of models of iconic spaceships and devices from the Stargate franchise.

For example, you can find models of the stargates of SG-1 and of SGAthe Jumperthe death glider Jaffathe Mazethe F-302 and the Ha’tak ship. Prices range from around fifty euros for stargate replicas to around €65 for ship replicas.

The quality of the products is good and each item is delivered with a display base allowing the reproduction to be showcased. In addition, the range, which is now quite wide, allows you to build a real collection, and it continues to be enriched by the regular addition of new models.

However, be vigilant regarding delivery times which can be quite long, especially during this holiday season, and the fact that certain replicas, such as the Jumper and the SGA door, are currently only available in advance. order.

Des figurines Stargate

To complete your loved one’s Stargate collection, also consider figurines Stargate Funko Pop!

The famous brand of vinyl figurines has in fact unveiled this year a new range of several models featuring characters from the Stargate franchise. This range offers figurines based on the 1994 film Stargate and featuring the colonel O’Neillof Doctor Jackson, of Sunof a Anubis guard and a garde Horus.

Moreover, the brand announced a few days ago complete its Stargate range with two new figurines based on the series and representing Samantha Carter and Teal’c. However, these two new items are currently only available for pre-order and are not expected to arrive on our shelves before mid-January 2025.

As a reminder, the Funko brand Pops are small vinyl figurines approximately 10 cm high representing characters from famous franchises, for example we can find the Star Wars, Marvel, Battlestar Galactica, and, therefore, Stargate ranges.

The price of these collectibles is quite affordable since each figurine is sold at €16. They can be purchased directly on Amazon with guaranteed delivery before Christmas and on other usual purchasing platforms.

Stargate building brick sets

This is our editorial team’s favorite for the end of 2024. If your loved one has the soul of a collector but also the ambitions of a builder, why not offer them a box of building bricks from BlueBrixx ?

BlueBrixx is a brand which, like Lego for example, produces plastic building bricks. The brand offers different sets to assemble which represent scenes or objects of all kinds.

This year, the brand unveiled a whole new range on the theme of the Stargate franchise. For example, we can find models to assemble from Prometheusof F-302of Wraith cruiserof Asgard ship Belisknerof l’Al’keshof Aurora-class starshipbut also SGC departure lounge and different characters from the series.

Depending on the model they represent, the sets may contain more or fewer pieces. The SGC departure lounge is by far the most extensive set since it includes more than 2400 small plastic bricks to assemble. Our editorial team’s favorite is the E2PZ reproduced in real size and which even provides everything necessary in LEDs to illuminate it from the inside.

All models in the range are compatible with Lego and some of them are supplied with display bases allowing them to be easily displayed.

Price-wise, the sets range from around €14 for the simplest to almost €160 for the reproduction of the SGC embarkation lounge, and between €60 and €80 for the spaceships.
