I just have two questions: 1) Is there anywhere to store the scanner that comes with the medical tricorder? And, 2) I have been looking for a pair of Original Series womans uniform boots... but I can't find any. Are there any out there or am I stuck to just finding something that looks like them? If anyone could help it would be very much appreciated. Thank you :) I’m so excited about these tricorders!

Kevin Dilmore Kevin, My name is Steve Kelley and I just finished authoring "Star Trek The Collectibles" book due out next month. I am now in the process of creating a Star Trek Collectibles magazine and I am having a very hard time reaching anyone at Hallmark about doing a story on past ornaments and on the latest pieces for this holiday season for the premier magazine (due out in November). Can you offer any help in this? If you don't see my contact info here you should be able to get my contact info through this site by talking to John Tenuto. Thanks :o) Steve 38. Kevin Dilmore

You hit on precisely what we discussed when we were planning the Pike ornament. I think that will be underscored once you can hear the dialogue clips we selected to play with the scene. #16 - The Pike chair beeps and blinks one AND twice (depending on which "line" Pike is saying at the time. Thanks to everyone who dropped by to see our ornaments at Comic-Con. One of our booth visitors was none other than David Gerrold himself, who came to check out our ornament scene from "The Trouble with Tribbles." He liked it so much, he autographed it for our staff! And while I wasn't able to comment in detail about the 2009 Star Trek line when Anthony and I spoke earlier in the con, I've since found out that representatives of Keepsake Ornaments were talking about the line in detail to people who asked. So, without further ado ... Two of the remaining ornaments for 2009 will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Hallmark will offer ornaments of the K't'inga-class Klingon battle cruiser (complete with incredible detail of the hull plating and glowing torpedo launchers) and the Ilia probe (sporting her white outfit and neck jewel - pheromone glands sold separately). Ilia will be a limited-quantity ornament, as was the one of Lt. Uhura in 2007, so be prepared to hit your Hallmark Gold Crown store the day it goes on sale. The last ornament for 2009 will be a TOS hand phaser that lights and plays sound effects as well as lines of dialogue just as this year's TOS communicator ornament does. The line choices are very cool (I got to help pick 'em) and this ornament is one we've wanted to do for a long time. If you like the communicator (and people who saw it and played with it this weekend sure did), then you'll love the phaser. So, there you have it! #31 – Thanks, Izbot.

It was one of the most informative sites online for collectibles and to Art Asylum's credit, was fairly critical of some of AA and DST's application and business practices. When the AA site was taken down and replaced with the countdown, I knew the end of objective discussion about collectibles was nigh and the AA flag waving would begin. I was actually online the moment it came back up. While you do get some great pics of products in developement like the tricorder pics above and the new Enterprise D, long gone is the interaction between the people that butter Art Asylum's and Diamond Select's bread. And it feels like something of a copout. And where the heck are the BSG ships? $150 statues are NOT what AA is about. I would SOOO scoop up a collection of ships from that show in the $40 to $50 range. But $150 for a resin statue? Give me a break! There are actually limits to a collector's budget.
