Star Trek 365: The Original Series Book

Star Trek 365 The Original Series Book
Star Trek 365: The Original Series is the definitive, authorized guide to the Star Trek television series. It first aired from 1966 through 1969 and went on to become a cultural phenomenon after fans brought it back to life. This visual celebration of the original voyages covers the entire series in amazing detail.

It has in-depth commentary, behind-the-scenes histories, and interviews with writers, cast, and crew. There are also synopses for each of the series’ 79 episodes. The photos alone are worth getting this book for. It’s like a time capsule from the original show. I can’t recommend this one enough.

Geeky Hockey Jersey Concepts

Geeky Hockey Jersey Concepts
Sean Tourangeau is obviously a huge Hockey fan as well as being a geek. So he combined both of those passions to create this awesome set of geek themed Hockey jerseys. They include everything from a Star Trek team with Riker(Who is appropriately number 01) to Bruce Wayne’s jersey from the Gotham Bats. I especially like the Star Trek Red Shirts team jersey and the Transformer versions.

This reminds me that we need more geek-themed sports teams. Get on that DC and Marvel. And the rest of you. The players could cosplay while playing their sport.

Star Trek Borg Ship Naval Battle Print

Star Trek Borg Ship Naval Battle Print
Imagine a glorious battle between the Enterprise and the Borg. Now imagine that this battle takes place a long time ago and on the high seas instead of in deep space. That’s what is captured in this magnificent Star Trek Borg Ship Naval Battle Print.

This is the work of artist Mirsad Agic. It is so beautiful. I would love to have this one on my wall. If you want it for yours, you can get a print here for $10 to $51. That’s a bargain for a print this awesome.

Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series Book

Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series Book
In 1976, Star Trek was enjoying a surge in popularity in syndication, so Topps released a series of collectible trading cards that featured full-color images from the television series. This Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series Book is the first-ever compilation and it includes the fronts and backs of all 88 cards and 22 stickers.

Most of us who collected these no longer have these cards so this will be a welcome trip down memory lane. The book also includes text and commentary. I love paging through books like this. These cards and so many more were a huge part of my childhood.

First Mega Bloks Star Trek Construction Sets

First Mega Bloks Star Trek Construction Sets
We had news earlier this year that Mega Bloks had secured the license to produce Star Trek construction toys. They aren’t LEGO, but hey, all of the images you see here are awesome, so how can you complain? At NYCC they are showing off the Enterprise and two other sets that will be released in the fall of 2016.

The biggest set is the USS Enterprise, which will apparently be over three thousand pieces and have light up nacelles to boot! It comes with two figurines: Kirk and Spock in dress uniforms. This ship is a 1/350 scale set that will cost $250. If you want something more affordable but no less cool, the Klingon D7 class will be $30. This one also comes with a figure, a Klingon obviously with a banner of the Empire on a display base.

The coolest one as far as I’m concerned is the transporter room from the mirror universe, featuring mirror Kirk and Spock, and a mid-transport Scotty. This set lights up with glow-in-the-dark elements. Also the mirror universe designs can be flipped around to make it look like the prime universe transporter room.

These are some awesome sets, that’s for sure. The bottom image is a Command chair made using Mega Blocks that is on display at NYCC.

Night of the Living Trekkies Book

Night of the Living Trekkies Book
Night of the Living Trekkies is the perfect book for this time of year when we celebrate Halloween and fear all kinds of ghosts and ghouls. And zombies. Jim Pike seems like a mild-mannered nerd and is the world’s biggest Star Trek fan, but when hundreds of Trekkies arrive for a science-fiction convention, he is quickly surrounded by Klingons, Vulcans, and a strange virus that transforms its carriers flesh-eating zombies!

Yeah, that sounds like my kind of book. Trek and Zombies make this one a winning combination.

Star Trek: Ships Of The Line Posters Book

Star Trek Ships Of The Line Posters Book
The Star Trek: Ships Of The Line Posters Book is sure to scratch your itch. You know the one I’m talking about. When you just need to lay your eyes on that sweet eye-candy that is Star trek vessels and admire all of their curves and flowy lines. This is the nerd version of a pin-up calendar for guys like me.

The Enterprise and most of the other ships are just so lovely and I have had a love affair with them all of my life. These posters are perfect for framing or just admiring in the book. It’s the kind of book that comes off my shelf regularly so I can fall in love all over again.
