This cool Star Trek Tricorder Coin Collection celebrates Star Trek’s 50th anniversary with a 5 piece set of colorized JFK Half Dollars featuring Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Lt. Uhura and Sulu on genuine JFK Half Dollars. And it all comes in an awesome box that looks like a tricorder. They aren’t Federation credits, but they are the next best thing.
You may have heard about a little thing called Star Trek and you may have heard rumblings about some 50th anniversary something or other. Well, this week The Poster Posee launched a 4 phase art tribute to both the upcoming film, Star Trek: Beyond and the 50th anniversary of this beloved sci-fi franchise. These posters really look amazing. I think I love them all.

The 50th anniversary is a big year for Star Trek Mega Bloks. They are offering several TOS sets and models of ships. The first wave of these sets is now complete, now that the largest is finally available. And wow, it was worth the wait. You can pre-order it right now and it will be released in July.
The USS Enterprise set has 3,098 pieces. The model is 85cm long assembled. It has light-up nacelles and two figurines of Kirk and Spock. If that isn’t enough, the display base is a miniature of the ship’s dedication plaque. This is a serious Mega Bloks Starship.
Check out these Star Trek Coin & Currency Sets. They put Kirk and company on real paper money. Money that actually looks awesome. This 50th Anniversary set features Captain James T. Kirk on a genuine $2 Bill and a JFK Half Dollar. The $2 bill is a genuine legal tender U.S. bank note and the half dollar is a 2016 John F. Kennedy issue.
You can also get a set that focuses on the entire crew. These sets are pretty cool. I could see myself displaying these in my office.
Mattel has announced a new line of Star Trek Barbies. These are due to arrive in June and the characters are Uhura, Kirk, and Spock. Amazon has Kirk and Spock right now, but no listing for Uhura. However, you can get all 3 in a set. Uhura looks absolutely lovely and makes a perfect Barbie doll. I assume they will release more characters as well as a scale bridge set since we can see it in some of these images.
Do you think you know all there is to know about Star Trek. The Star Trek 50th Anniversary Trivial Pursuit game will test your knowledge. This is the coolest version of Trivial Pursuit yet and it is just for Star Trek fans.
This collector’s edition game features 1200 questions about all 5 Star Trek television series and the first 10 Star Trek movies spanning over 50 years. The best part? It comes with a collectible Galileo 01 Enterprise Shuttlecraft to store the cards in and a custom die.
As part of next year’s celebrations honoring the 50th anniversary of the original Star Trek, the United States Postal Service will be offering four Star Trek themed postage stamps.
In 2016 the USPS will offer a set of four special stamps from the Final Frontier. Some of you might remember the first Star Trek postage stamp, worth 33 cents, which was released in September of 1999 for the USPS’s “Celebrate the Century” initiative. It will be nice to have some Star Trek stamps to stick on the corners of our envelopes once again. These new ones look pretty awesome. If you still use stamps, you’ll want to get some of these.

Star Trek’s 50th anniversary is next year, and so Roddenberry Entertainment has announced that next year they will be releasing a ton of rare photos, memos, script pages, documents and more from their archives. One can only imagine what is in those archives. It is a treasure trove of Trek.
They are calling this “The 366 Project,” and starting in 2016 they will release one piece of Star Trek history on their social media channel every single day. So over that year, we will have 366 pieces of historical Trek artifacts in total. I can’t wait to see what is coming. There should be a lot of good stuff in there.
