High Cost of Oil Takes Its Toll on My Toys
I noticed the scale of action figures seems to be going back down in size. Instead of all the hulking, big seven inch pieces of plastic we are once again seeing smaller three inch scale figures in the toy stores. Since plastic is basically a petroleum based product do you think the trend in smaller…

Star Trek References on Numbers
Catching up on my DVR recorded TV shows this weekend and I spotted some more Star Trek references on a CBS show. Any chance CBS/Paramount moved the new Trek movie date from Xmas 2008 to May 2009 so they could exploit their TV series for additional exposure and try to make Trek more hip? Geek…

Star Trek Handheld That Never Was
I just stumbled onto a Star Trek Toy I had never heard of before. While this is not a very surprising statement to many people, I pride myself in knowing quite a bit about Star Trek collectibles. After all I have been collecting the stuff for nearly twenty years now. I am far from an…

Star Trek Goodies Gone Bad
The other day I received several boxes in the mail all containing Star Trek goodies. At first I was extremely excited and happy to be having such a geeky good day. But that feeling faded quickly. First up was a small envelope, which contained my Spock Elf mini mate. He was all perfect and minty…
