For me it's a tie between Skylab and the Apollo Lunar Excursion Module (L.E.M.). I always liked the look of Skylab and it was the Space Station for most of my childhood. As for fictional, I have to go with the Eagle from Space 1999. I wonder what @TrekMD will choose? 😉

The Yamato is a cool ship!  Love that series.  Have you watched the modernized versions?  Yamato 2199 and Yamato 2205?  As for real ships, this one has to be special to me...

I've wanted one of these for a LONG time.  Starplex controller for Atari
 

Both consoles have good game titles but the ColecoVision seems to have some odd arcade ports as well.  That makes its library rather unique.  Smurf on the ColecoVision is a fun game. 

No other fictional space ship tugs at my heart like the Yamato from the original series. I can hear the soundtrack playing in my head as I type this. I read the manga during the 70s in Korea and watched Star Blazers in the US during the early 80s.

 
Saturn V was the first real space craft that I was exposed to most as a kid. Seeing the launch footages on TV was always mesmerizing and never got old.

These three ladies for me...

Well, this is a topic I really, really, really like!  My choice is the USS Odyssey from Stargate-SG1, which looks the same a the USS George Hammond pictured below.  Why?  Well for one in can traverse galaxies, unlike the Star Trek ships.  It's built "in present time" (yes I know it's fiction) and it has the most advanced shields and weapons, the legacy of the Asgard a which was technologically thousands of years ahead of us.

Very nice! Very clean design. 🙂
The Halo 2600 poster is really neat. Never saw one. 

I got that portable VCS second hand, so not sure who's design it is.  You can see my entire collection here:  TrekMD's Collection

It's my most recent purchase. I believe ~50 were made during the initial release of Halo 2600. My poster is a printer's sample, so it's one of a kind. The poster goes hand in hand with my signed copy of Halo 2600 (which is not one of the initial releases). Ed Fries signed it at the 2017 PRGE.

Here are a few pics of my Atari room. Thank you all for sharing your game rooms.🙂

I forgot, my most recent "cool" purchase is this Halo 2600 Source Code poster. I've been after one of these for years. 

I have a RomScanner Command Center complete in box. It looks pretty cool when its all setup. The Kid in me comes out whenever I set this up. I love that its a "Command Center". Marketing did a great job with this.
 

The Cosmic Commnder & Flight Commander are in deed, some of the coolest controllers. However, that VCS Portable takes the cake.😻
Eugenio, I have to see your collection some day. 

Btw, I didn’t mean for this to turn into a comparison. For those that collect, the main thing is for you to be happy with your collection and hopefully, you have the time to enjoy it. Prior to COVID, my wife and I would host Atari parties. In addition to our friends, our sons would stop by with some of their friends and we would all spend a day playing games on various consoles, complete with CRTs. Earlier this year, we started hosting again, although not as frequent as we used to. It’s always a good time and it’s nice to see the younger generation have some fun with nearly 50 year old hardware. There’s still something about connecting a 2600 to a CRT, popping in a Supercharger and pressing play on the cassette deck to launch a game. That never gets old for me.
Thanks for sharing and Game on everyone.

Don’t discount that slingshot. Seriously, the Jaguar’s a nice system and having a couple of Jaguar CDs is pretty cool too. The homebrew community has come up with some really nice games and that’s made me consider getting one. 😀

That thing is super cool. I need to rewatch the Ben video.
