Thise complaining about mechandising should just be happy that our beloved original series is so much in the spotlight again. It couldn’t happen to a nicer series.

Well, since my computer said I could be the first to comment, and it turns out I’m in the 40’s, I should not get the lunchbox.
But I still want the lunchbox. Maybe I should get it anyway.

This is great stuff. I’m getting the playing cards, and maybe the lunchbox.
I’ll get the lunchbox if I’m FIRST!

I like the “Warp Speed” poster… Heh, like I need any more on my bedroom wall.

Myself, I had a Partridge Family lunchbox. I would totally purchase a lunchbox that had the Way to Eden folks on it, of course with an image of the Spock jam on one of the sides.

I wish they had some items with just the simple UFP logo on them. I don’t really collect this kind of stuff, but the things I do like to pick up are items that exist in that fictional universe (like, say, those ‘Vulcan Academy of Science’ t-shirts, ‘Property of the USS Enterprise’ whatevers, and suchlike. I’d totally get a set of dishes or glasses with the UFP logo on them.)

I’d love to see two ‘tiers’ of collectibles; one with images of the characters, etc, and one with a bit more, for lack of a better word, ‘taste.’ Items a Herbert might enjoy, lol. A business card holder with Spock on it? Reminds me of the credit card ad where the guy takes out a card with a comic book character on it to pay for a business lunch and the German folks he is meeting with describe it as ‘kindergarten.”

A business card case in dark metal with an image of the IDIC symbol, tastefully rendered in complimentary shades… now THAT I would keep my cards in.

…Wait, are metal lunch boxes legal anymore? ISTR some communities outlawing them to keep the smaller kids from beating the school bullies to death with them.

[remembers breaking four teeth out of the 6th grade bully when I was in 3rd grade, realizing that the lunch box I used now has a collector's value greater than the stupid bastard's teeth repair bill :-(]
