LET'S SEE WHATS OUT THERE (PART 2)
------------------------------------
By Colin Gunn
---------------
A continuing guide to what to look for in the world of TREK. All the items
listed below should be out for sometime in September, but bear in mind that
this is only a guide so some of the merchandise could be released sometime
after.
BOOKS
THE CLASSIC EPISODES: VOL. 1 - 3
--------------------------------
These are reprints of the James Blish adaptations that appeared some years
back now released as 3 books instead of 12. They are 25th Anniversary
editions and all feature the 25th anniversary logo as their covers. Each are
priced at $5.99 (About £3.99-£4.50).
GREENBERG'S GUIDE TO STAR TREK COLLECTABLES: VOL 1 - 3
------------------------------------------------------
This set is a must for all people collecting TREK merchandise, but beware
they are pricey. At $29.95 each (About £18.00-£20.00) I suspect that they are
aimed at the die-hard TREK fan. Each book boasts to be the completest guide
to memorabilia ever and also includes an up to date price list of all the
collectables available.
CAPTAIN'S LOG (BLANK DIARY-LIKE) BOOK
-------------------------------------
The title says it all for this one. The cover has an embossed picture of the
original T.V. ENTERPRISE on it. The price, $6.95 (About £4.50).
VIDEOS
Paramount home video are releasing in the states a 'new' set of the movies
(1-5) in a repackaged format. Each box down it's side has a section of the
ENTERPRISE, and when all 5 stand together the form a complete picture of the
ship. The price on this set is $74.95. Also the same set is released in a
special gift set which includes not only the 5 films but also several
specially created commemorative enamel pins and a commemorative certificate
from Gene Roddenberry. The price on this set is $100.00. (I've not put a
rough English price as CIC should be releasing the set over here. Allthough
I'm not sure if that includes the special gift set.)
COMICS
The DC line in STAR TREK comics continues with STAR TREK #26, The ENTERPRISE
is assigned to Pilker 3, where Kirk finds that he is a titled land-owner with
a wife. THE NEXT GENERATION #26, As Worf's family shares a tense reunion, the
ENTERPRISE encounters unexpected dangers in a search for Okona. THE BEST OF
STAR TREK TRADE PAPERBACK - Stories include : The trial of James T. Kirk.
Personality comics also continue there unauthorized biogs. This time with #3
THE ORIGINAL CREW - DEFOREST KELLY. As before there are two versions, one a
normal comic, two - a signed and numbered edition.
MAGAZINES
STAR TREK IV: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY is the official deluxe movie mag.
There are exclusive interviews and colour photos from the latest movie. Price
$4.95 (About £3.50-£3.99).
MODELS
In time for the movie is the now traditional re-packaged model of the
ENTERPRISE NCC-1701A (Not to sure if the Shuttle craft from the STIV package
is in) Price $15.30 (About £10.00-£12.00).
The next model to be released from the new film is a newly designed with
enhanced detail Klingon cruiser. This will retail at $8.10 (About £6.99).
And finally for the models the one I've been waiting for since seeing it in
a 4th season NEXT GEN episode is the new Klingon Battle Cruiser. The size of
the kit should equal that of the NCC-1701D and is priced at $15.30 (About
£10.00).
MISCELLANEOUS
POSTERS
-------
25th ANNIVERSARY POSTER - This features Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Uhura as the
main theme, with the Enterprise orbiting a planet
and the crew in the Transporter chamber awaiting
beam down plus the 25th Anniversary logo and
retails at $5.00 (About £3.50-£4.00).
NEXT GEN ENTERPRISE POSTER - This is a really nice poster of 1701-D orbiting
a planet with To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone
Before along the top left of it. Retail $5.00
(About same as above).
6FT. DOOR POSTERS - There are two door posters in the set, one has Kirk in a
classic stance on a planet's surface with the words beam
me up Scotty next to him. The other is of Spock in the
Transporter with Live Long And Prosper next to him. Both
are $10.00 About £7.00).
HAMILTON COLLECTION
-------------------
Two sets for the 25th. One are Kirk and Spock figures. Each stands approx.
11.5" and are made from vinyl. Each priced at $17.00 (I paid £11.99 each for
mine). Also released are a set of 13 small pvc figures: Kirk, Spock, McCoy,
Scotty, Chekov, Sulu, Uhura, Klingon, Gorn, Talosian, Mugatu, Andorian and
Tellarite (shame there's no Romulan). I paid £3.99 each for mine.
CERAMIC MUGS
------------
There are 8 in this set which include: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu,
Chekov, Uhuru and crew in the Transporter. I believe that these are
reproductions of the series of plates that came out some time ago and retail
at $10.00 (I've seen them for £6.00 ea).
Well there's another list of items to break the old bank account. I hope that
there was something there that you found informative and helpful in
purchasing your TREK merchandise (See elsewhere for my review of the card set
1). Next issue I hope to have more items to list and a rough price guide for
you to go by. Until next time......
Peace!
