A STAR TREK XMAS

December 5th, 2008 |

As far as cool gadgets go, Star Trek introduced many electronics devices decades before they arrived. This Christmas I found some, out of this world Star Trek items and at the bottom of this post is the new Star Trek Trailer - Includes Old Spock, and screen shots. Enjoy and “Live Long and Prosper”

The original Starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 is the most iconic TV sci-fi ship you can envision! This commemorative edition measures approximately 32-inches long, this 1:350 scale model was expertly crafted based on the surviving studio miniature, and features durable construction and illuminated warp drive nacelles. Limited edition of 1,250 pieces. This is a must-own collectible celebrating four decades of trekking through the stars.

Star Trek Plate Covers make light switches fun again

Star Trek is 40 years old, and collecting Trek stuff has always been fun. Amid it you know this to be true. You’ve got a communicator, sure. You may even have a phaser, but do you have 24th century wall panels? So then bring a little Trek home with these very cool Star Trek TNG plate covers from thinkgeek.com. Star Trek 9 is all retro and will be out soon, so why not retro fit your light switches and wall sockets. They complete with LCARS interface designs, the panels are just props, and they do not interface with the Enterprise. The power plug plate is the coolest as it says Plasma Flux Hazard. And that means you might have to get out fast. Quick, Beam me Up, Scotty!
