Battle of Galactica merchandise relating to the Universal Studios attraction of the same name consisted of the following:
Collector's Plate[edit]
1980 Edition[edit]
Beginning in 1980, the "Universal Studios California" collector's plate featured the Battle of Galactica attraction, alongside the various attractions that were a part of the Universal Studios Tour.
This monochrome ironstone china plate measures 10-inches in diameter and manufactured under license by Enco National Corporation in the United States of America. It could also double as a food plate.

1981 Edition[edit]
The 1981 edition of the plate differs from its predecessor in not only its 7-inch diameter size and use of colors, but also in construction as a purely decorative piece. It was manufactured in Korea by an unspecified company, and featured holes in the top rim at the base (or backside) of the plate, allowing a metal wire to be looped through so as to facilitate wall-hanging.
It features fewer attractions than its predecessor: Battle of Galactica, Attack of Jaws, Stunt Men in Action, and Collapsing Bridge. However, it commemorates the newest attraction introduced on 13 June 1980[1] entitled Castle Dracula.

Souvenir Booklet[edit]

View-Master[edit]
In 1987, Universal Studios offered visitors stereoscopic photo reels of various attractions for the View-Master.
Among the "Studio Tour No. 1" release were four images of the Battle of Galactica attraction on "Reel A." "A1" featured two photos depicting the tram's entrance of the attraction (erroneously titled "Tram enters Battlestar Galactica"), while "A2" depicts the laser battle inside the Cylon battle cruiser (titled "Colonial Warrior Engages in Fierce Laser Battle").
