No Trek for me….

My daughter enjoyed her Uhura Barbie, but found that it needed a custom mod….

Slow news day.
Just kidding. fun pictures.
I got the Movie on DVD (Target exclusive Enterprise) and Blu-Ray (Best Buy with department pins).
This at Star Trek: The Art Of The Film.
I have a wonderful wife.
Oooh – I like the Urban McCoy tote!
I received a Lt Sulu doll from my girlfriend – her cousin has started her own little business at http://www.marianedolls.com.au/ and so far does Spock and Sulu :)
http://marianedolls.com.au/album/11/96239676.jpg
Got
- Star Trek Online PreOrder (from Target)
- Star Trek Enterprise The Romulan War Book
- Star Trek Ships of The Line Book
- Star Trek The Entropy Effect Book
still training my family to get me Star Trek so hopefully more Trek next year
Got about $300 in cash which will go to buy
- Star Trek Online Collector’s Edition ( From Gamestop cause their exclusive ingame Constitution Class starship is impossible to pass up)
about $ 80 bucks plus overnight shipping $20 = $100
- Star Trek Magazine
About $ 50
- Star Trek Figures and Toys:
I’m still trying to narrow
down the list but it’s probably going to be The Enterprise NCC 1701 D and Deep Space Nine, probably more too :)
about 100
- not sure what to do with the rest any suggestions?
-
I finally got all the first six movies on DVD and the Alternate Universe DVD collection. Merry Trekmas everyone! •<|:-)
Got animated Trek DVDs and the ST09 BluRay. Haven’t watched animated DVDs yet, but the deleted scenes on the ST09 disc were interesting.
I wound up getting a few Star Trek items. I got the Enterprise refit hotwheels the reliant hot wheel. Star Trek 2009 blu ray with Enterprise model, and the Season 3 blu ray box set so I was happy
I almost got my wife a medical tricorder. But then, when stll in the shop, decided to not buy it because it was the science tricorder model, not the medical version.
You see, not only would my wife have appreciated a medical one, she would also have pointed out that the science one was inaproproate for her.
Long way of saying I found the perfect wife. :)
My Girlfrend got me a Capt Kirk and Spock from the Terran Empire. Also. I got a I.S.S Enterprise as well. Yes. I did get a U.S.S Enterprise N.C.C -1701-E Also. Got the C.D to TMP. What a Trekmas I had. Merry Trekmas to all form the Terran Empire.
Hey Anthony. What did you get for Trekmas.
Ok Bob Orci. What do you get for Trekmas. Come on Spill it.
I got the Hallmark Klingon Battle Cruiser to add to my to my extensive collection. The wife and I also ventured forth to brave the after-Christmas sales mobs, and I scored a two-fer: the local mall Hallmark shop had all their ornaments marked down to 1/2 price, and I scooped up a pair of the 2009 TOS Type I phaser ornaments – one for the collection, and one to keep next to my ST: XI phaser and annoy the wife with. LOL
haha I was excited upon opening a special edition “Target Exclusive” set of the new Star Trek movie, but then I saw it was Blu-ray. Our family does not possess a Blu-ray player.
Needless to say, my mother made an error in her gift purchasing this year.
I did also get a Ships of the Line calendar, which is always a welcome treat. Unfortunately some of the images this year were sub-par in their modeling, and it was apparent that they were hastily thrown together.
I didn’t get any Trek for XMas. People know not to give me any Trek as they assume I can get it on my own actually. Plus, as I have noted before, I am not really a ’stuff’ kind of guy. I do like all the trek dvds and books but don’t have much in the collectibles universe. The best Trek present I got all year was an Star Trek 2009 IMAX poster signed by JJ Abrams…that one is a keeper!
But I did give the gift of Trek.
Hey Anthony. Nice gift. Oh. I did get the 4th Season of Enterprise on Dvd. What a Trekmas.
I want that watch!!! :D
Nice Trek goodies everybody!
i got a red ringer tee that reads “Expendable” and a tee that says “What happens on the holodeck stays on the holodeck”, both from ThinkGeek.com
Since I didn’t rec’v Trek xmas gifts…I decided to buy my own. So, on ebay(yesterday & today), I scored seasons 1-3 of TOS on Bluray for 45.00 to under 49.00…so I only paid under 145.00 for them all! I will decide once I them, to do a side by side playback of the TOS-R versions and BD and see how markedly they are superior or no noticable change in picture quality.
I then can see the 2 pic w/in a pic dual video window commentaries produced for season two prior to Toshiba was forced to abandon the HD format(season1 had 3 episodes with this), and the few other BD only features, and the prior only HD tour of the Enterprise.
Now, I own all 11 Trek films and TOS on Bluray!
No Trek for me either, but I’ll probably buy something trekish with the money that I got.
Got the DVD!
Trek on!
I don’t have a picture, but my husband bought me a full collection of Star Trek movies I-VI with an addition of “The Captain’s Summit”. He made me VERY happy this Christmas.
i got some awesome Star Trek…. SOCKS!!!!! Red, Blue and Yellow – fantastic :D all topped off with a Star Trek Captain Kirk mug!
I made a video with all of my Star trek Christmas gifts!! Check it out guys! :)

Love this article! Merry Christmas everyone, hope you enjoy your presents. :D
Didn’t get many non-useful presents this year myself, but I did get some money and (if I don’t go and spoil the moment by buying MORE useful things! :P) I might get a figure or two, maybe even the hardcover Countdown book. Could ring in the new year with a new keychain, perhaps? Merry Christmas, TrekMovie!
Here’s a group portrait of my motley collection of Vulcans:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sunfell/4217172559/in/set-72157621682338844/
The Yoda figure is an original from “Empire Strikes Back”.
My parents got me the new Star Trek movie for Christmas, and my grandma and grandpa gave me an Ebay gift certificate to get some of my own ‘Trek stuff. Even better, I convinced Mom and Dad to watch ST09 with me last night (Christmas). I think we all loved it the second time around, even as much as the first! (We all went for Mother’s Day to the movie theatres, too. ;3 )
Even my dad had his birthday today, so his card was a Star Trek theme. 44 years.. told him he’s gettin’ old. xP
:\ that Spock Ken Doll looks like a transgendered version of T’Pol :\
I got Star Trek (2009) on DVD for my birthday (December 11th) and a TOS shirt.
i got 1/4 scale kirk, 1/4 scale spock, small and medium remote control enterprises, remote controlled bird of prey, Q20, callenders, business card holder, kirk mint tin, kirk spock coffee mug, puzzle cube, good christmas my family loves me hope you all had a good christmas and have a happy new year!!!!! trek lives!!!!!
I got movies II-IV and the newest movie on DVD (I love how the discs are in the saucer of the Enterprise!). I also got an original series phaser. These aren’t really Christmas gifts, but I got them over the last year: a rather large Enterprise-D and new Enterprise model, two small Klingon Birds of Prey and one small Enterprise-A model, and a t-shirt. I did get to visit the Star Trek exhibit in the Detroit Science Center as well, that was awesome!
Wow! What a festive Trek Christmas.
Oh, and I just got TOS season three on bluray today. Fun to watch with an egg nog.
I love love love the film cells! That is an AMZING gift to have received!
AND that handmade Sulu is so cute lol!
:)

a real let down this year. Nobody gave me anything trek!
not even uncle Robau?
How do I get the Star Trek socks? I can’t find them anywhere.
36. Boborci
Yeh but you get the best gift of all…. working on Star Trek!!!!!!!!!!!
Grabbed all 4 Hallmark ornaments half price today, yesssss. Still need the calendars … half price now as well.
Like to collect, but like to save while doing it.
Very nice gifts!
I had some Star Trek Hallmark ornaments hung on my Xmas tree last year and I took some pics of them. This year, I did not put them up again.
Got a box of Star Trek cereal….Not much of a Trek hall this year, but I got a bunch of other great stuff.
I got the Wrath of Khan phaser, the set of Star Trek badges from the Blu Ray set and a ticket for a Leonard Nimoy autograph for the convention in Vancouver. I got a box with pictures of Nimoy and a sharpie marker. My Mom, so creative…lol
37. Anthony Pascale – December 26, 2009
not even uncle Robau?
————
He gave me some good sci fi to read to inspire sequel. But everyone figures i have all things trek, but I don’t!
39. P Technobabble – December 27, 2009
Good Point!
Got 2 seasons of Enterprise (season 3 and 4), already had seasons 1 and 2.
But Scott Bakula in Star Trek 12 would relieve me. Archer deserves to be in ST12!!!
cool
I got the TNG movie set and Nick Meyer’s new book
You’d think that with everyone knowing I’m a trekkie, that my gifts would tend towards that direction. Best I got was a Barnes and Noble gift card that paid for Star Trek: The Art of the Film. A great book, loved it! I’ll just have to try harder next year.
Ditto, Bob.
Manifesto42 nabbed some rare Spanish Trek comic
Hi.
Isn´t spanish comic is portuguese.
bye
3 disc special blueray ST09 here.
Wife and I feel sorry for Bob. :(
Glad to see people sharing the Star Trek love with Keepsake Ornaments!
My big Star Trek gift this year came from my uncle Bill. He got me the “Star Trek—30 Years” Keepsake Ornament set from 1996. I had one but was forced to sell it a few years ago when I was out of work. I’m very glad to have this one back!
I’ve got Trek!!!!!!! TOS Season 3 on DVD (I don’t have Blu-Ray unfortunately here in Brazil) but hey, al least I’ve got my Christmas Trek
Nice holidays everyone!!
I’m getting an iPod touch with the quote “Live long and prosper” engraved at the back! Although it hasn’t arrived yet, so im busying myself reading the Star Trek movie novel by Alan Dean Foster
I’ll be posting pictures tomorrow!!!!!!!
Besides my new blu-ray player, a friend gave me “mirror, mirror ” spock action figure and talking storm trooper (non-trek related) as well as trek movie 2009 an blu-ray from my girlfriend, She says she cant tell the difference between the dvd and blu-ray edition, But I certainly can. and thank you santa!! ..can we just get a slightly bigger hdtv..santa? …hello? I’ll be good!!..santa?
…..And I bought the phaser, communicator and Pike ornaments for myself. All really well done in my opinion, BTW. What says Christmas more than a horribly disfigured Pike?
I got the Spock ornament, the Physics of Star Trek book, some earlier issues of IDW Star Trek comics, and… I think that’s all the Trek stuff I got, though the wife has given me permission to buy Star Trek Online in February, so I took that as a pass to buy a pre-order so I can get in on the open beta that starts in just about 20 days!
I received an Enterprise-E with lights and sound, from my Grandparents :)
My brother and sister-in-law in Florida sent me and my husband the Star Trek “Scene-It” trivia game. My husband gave me the Uhura Barbie. I gave my huband the Hot Wheels ST XI Enterprise die cast model.
So- I go upstairs at my moms, and see this Voyager ornament laying in a pile of her junk. I ask her what the deal is. She says she WAS going to give it to me A FEW YEARS AGO, but I had said I hated that show, so she didn’t! I’m like, well yeah, but why have it lay around- and still in the box??
Needless to say, she gave it to me now. “Here! Merry Xmas!”
I got the Bottle opener as well from a good friend of mine from work! :)
I got no Trek gifts….actually got basically no gifts at all…but cest la vie….
Hey Anthony if I mail you the first seven or eight posters(the ones released at the comic con) would you drag em over to bob orci, and jj and yourself and Alex and git em signed for me then mail em back? hahaha…
Hey I can dream!
oh yeh then jj can have Chris, Zach, Zoe, and the rest of the stars sign them too! haha
I do luv your signed poster gift was that from jj??
Trek the halls, baby!
I received all 11 movies on BD (STXI included the four metal insignia – way cool!) and the type-1 phaser Hallmark ornament. We got my son the science tricorder, the ISS Enterprise, and TMP phaser all from EE along with six ST:TNG hardcover novels and the Ships of the Line 2010 calender. He also got all but the last season of BSG. It was a good year for us.
That bottle opener is so cool.
Thanks for mentioning and picturing me on here, Anthony. I love that Bones tote bag. So, here’s the full rundown of what I got: Trekonometry: Good, Bad & Silly Versions of Star Trek Themes CD, The Hallmark Klingon Battle Cruiser and Menagerie ornaments, The Art of Star Trek (09) Book, 2 Seven of Nine figures from Playmates (4″ and 9″) and a new movie communicator.
I expect to have a Star Trek Movie DVD in my sock for a belated Christmas next week. Due to the “Grinchy Blizzard that stole Christmas 2009″ in the upper midwest, Christmas was delayed. Today was the first day we could get out since Thursday.
OMG, Kayla, is that green shag?
My wife got me the Star Trek Blu Ray set. I have to wait a couple more days until I get back home to watch it…….over and over and over again!!
Mary C., I think I am in love. Email me! :-) (Just kidding!) Seriously, Mary C. and others — such beautiful people.
This year has been a great one for Trek, and I think the joy in everyone’s eyes shows it.
Let’s have a repeat next year, and the year after that, and the year after that….
I got what I asked for…nothing at all.
.68–too bad I don’t believe in marriage. It has been an amazing year for Trek. Who knew we’d have such a surgence of useless stuff? I hope it doesn’t slow down next year. Now, somebody hand me that bottle opener so I can toast the New Year.
My wife and I got ourselves a mutual gift: a Patrick Stewart photo-op at the SF Trek Con next month. Yes, it’s ridiculous to spend that much for a 15-second photo with someone (they allow two people per photo op), but it’s something we’ll remember forever. So just this once, we’ll do it.
I’m finally getting around to replacing my old ST vhs tapes with DVD’s. Yeah I know what you’re thinking but I’ll buy blue ray just before the next new fangled thing in video comes along. Anyhows, my wife gave me First Contact for Christmas. An oldie but goodie.
OK, Bob, I feel so bad for ya, you can have one of my hand phasers. LOL
I just got the plain ST09 DVD. But I’ll hopefully get the TOS Constitution model from polar lights for Epiphany.
Here’s my Trek prezzies: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e186/tears_to_shed/trek.jpg
I wish the month would end already so I can put up my calendar.
My husband bought me a blue ray player and the new ST09 movie! I had wanted these since seeing the movie in June, but then my hours at work were cut so I was bummed thinking I wasn’t going to get them. I have the DVD too but wanted to see it as good as it can get, you know what I mean-
So, was I surprised when he gave me the blue ray player and movie! I immediately opened it, he set it up for me and I watched ST09 again Christmas day. Very nice.
Loved seeing what everyone else received too! I want those socks next! :D
I got Star Trek…. again (but this time two disc), plus a poster from my cousins!
My family bought me a Blu-Ray player (that streams Netflix and YouTube) and one of the Trek ornaments to add to my growing collection (a couple of years ago my wife even got me my own tree just for the Trek ornamen!).
I vicariously got my son the Star Trek 3-disc Blu-Ray and a couple of the ST09 action figures.
I am hoping to get the TOS Original Series set in Blu-Ray–thanks to my grandfather who passed away in November at 98 years of age. I hope I have some of his genes–and maybe there is going to be a chance since I was also born on his birthday as his oldest grandchild! :)
Oh…and I ordered a B&N Nook so I can finally read my Trek eBooks more comfortably—and get more! Then, with a Trek TNG uniform I will feel like the future is now.
I got 2 TOS posters, some TOS action figures, some 09 action figures, TOS PEZ dispensers, a communicator keychain and a Tribble replica. It was a good Christmas.
Where do you find those Enterprise bottle openers. Must have one!
I got the BR Star Trek 3-disk to go with my new Samsung BR player. All I can say is….WOW!!
I got the new Playmates Enterprise, which, for all the complaints online, I think is actually better than every other Playmate ship I’ve ever gotten. The size is smaller, yes, but it’s all one piece so the nacelles won’t constantly fall off. Plus the stand is awesome because it allows you to put the Enterprise in more than one position, as it is placed on top of a “position ball.” I love it and cannot wait to put it in my office, ready room style.
A good friend also bought me “Free Enterprise,” a painting from etsy.com which is the Const class Enterprise in a kind of surreal state. The artist, Anthony Butkovich, signed it: “…may you boldly go into new realms of self-governance, sovereign being, and total abundance. Warp Factor: Unlimited!”
Great x-mas.

I think they’re made in the UK. Took me a few weeks to get mine. Trekmovie featured them a bout a year ago.
In addition to getting Hallmark’s Klingon ship ornament, I bought this for myself a couple days before Xmas: http://twitpic.com/vhqzq
A Tribble, a Tricorder (medical version) and Tiberius cologne were my Trek-related Christmas gifts. Thank you Babe!! ;-)
I made a Star Trek scarf for my brother this Christmas. It was very painful to deal with– 5 days of knitting like mad XD
(The year before that, I made him a Star Trek themed Christmas stocking!)
Darren Benjamin/QuarksBartender, that watch is incredible.
25 – where did you get the Star Trek socks?
I need those socks :|
But I can’t find them anywhere, in real life or online.
Bought myself a Sony Blu ray player and all Trek on Blu ray to date, all 11 Movies and 3 seasons of Original Trek! Is there anyone out there that thinks that there is minimal difference in the quality? I watched Insurrection in 2 dvd players simultaneously, one Blu ray and the other standard, and did find a difference for sure, but I’m not as convinced with the Original series season 1 vs. season 1 Remastered DVD’s? Is this because one (Insurrection) is more recent vs. the other ( TOS) which is far more dated, or should that even matter?For the most part however Bluray is awesome! Trek was my foray into the realm of Blu ray, followed by Torchwood on Blu ray, and from now on everything in Blu ray!!! Still pissed about Playmates Wave 2 figures being cancelled however! Really wanted 12″ versions of Nero, Scotty & Uhura as planned! Did get 12″ Sulu & Pike however!
