For a lot of us it wasn't the premiere. It was reruns on a UHF channel on a Saturday afternoon, with the rabbit ears turned just right.

This is where we keep the Star Trek. Mego eight-inch figures from the seventies, when Kirk and Spock came in cloth tunics that never quite stayed tucked in. The Playmates run from the nineties, back when every pegboard in the store had a Next Generation figure hanging on it. Ships, model kits, tricorders, and the occasional thing nobody else thought was worth saving.

Sealed or loose, we tell you which. We photograph the actual item, never a stock photo, and if a phaser went missing sometime in 1994 you'll read about it before you buy.

We're still filling this shelf. Tell us what you're hunting and we'll keep an eye out.
