Virtually EVERYTHING Star Trek is collectible but what is worth money.

- Licensed items from roddenberrydotcom. (Hello Eugene ;) )
*Bjo Trimble wrote The Star Trek Concordance, The Third Season Supplement to The Star Trek Concordance, Star Trek Concordance Color Book 1. The concept for this reference book was based on a privately-printed fandom publication established by Dorthy Jones Heydt in 1968 as an unofficial guide to TOS and TAS. It was later endorsed by Paramount Pictures. Bjo was responsible for the "SST Letter Campaign" which eventually resurrected Star Trek. She also spearheaded the movement to have NASA's first space shuttle dubbed Enterprise. The Concordance was sold to Ballantine Books and published in 1976. Photocopies of the Fan Produced Concordance made it worthless unless *signed. ( Hello Bjo ;) )
*Michael McMaster was the author of several well know blueprint sets. He published under the name of Galactic Designs and Productions. McMaster also built a full size replica of the Enterprise Bridge, which allegedly even fooled Gene Roddenberry when he saw photographs of it. An accurate set of 11 Award Patches worn by Kirk & Spock on their dress uniforms was also designed and sold by McMaster. Michael McMaster died in an accident in 1978, aged 25. At the time he was working on the very rare Star Trek Maps, very few were released.
**Frans Joseph (1914–1994) was member of S.T.A.R. and a friend of mine. He is known for the Star Trek Blueprints and the Star Trek Technical Manual. The source material he was forced to use: individual frames from the shows themselves. He had no access whatsoever to any of the production notes or diagrams, such as those by Wah Chang, Dick Datin, Walter Matt Jeffries or Irving Feinberg. Joseph did, however, acknowledge the help of some of these individuals in the frontispiece of the Technical Manual.
The Master Replicas/Star Trek Experience - Star Trek TOS Communicator Story. What is What?
Both the Master Replica/ Star Trek Experience Communicators were made in CHINA at the same factory. Plastic shells, aluminum parts, painted gold antenna, spinning moire, sound of chirping and interference. etc.
The differences are:
Master Replicas/Corgi UK: Charcoal textured but looks smooth plastic shell with oval button on rear. Fancy stand/display signed by Leonard Nimoy or William Shatner.
Star Trek Experience: Black textured plastic shell with Star Trek insignia button on rear. In decorative box.
Basically The Master Replica and Star Trek Experience communicators are identical except for the rear button and shell finish. If you bought a MR communicator you got scammed for big bucks. The thickness on these is Inaccurate so they look Fat.
Diamond Select/Art Asylum: Black textured, metal grill, good looks with a sound chip $29.00 and can be re-worked into a Top Prop for a few bucks.
THERE WERE NO SMOOTH ORIGINAL COMMUNICATORS
WORTHLESS
- Fan made Props (only unique items are worth anything ex. original paintings, blueprints, needlework etc.) NOT no-name (resin) Phasers, Communicators etc.
- Props with no Paramount License (selling high priced, are worthless!) exceptions: Richard A. Coyle, Ed Miarecki, Steve Horch/Mike Moore, Brad Nelson, Max Cervantes, John Long, JT Kirk. You need to have signed COAs by them!
- Any Commercial item with no Paramount License (pirated)
- Star Trek Patches with no Paramount License (easily made)
- Star Trek Buttons (a button machine makes anything you want)
- Star Trek fridge magnets (big scam on ebay, see my other guides)
- Star Trek stickers (of controls on ships etc. a lot out there)
- Star Trek Script copies
- Star Trek Guide copies
- Star Trek Storyboard copies
- Star Trek Poster copies (a lot out there, no copyright PP)
- Star Trek photos unless pre 1980s, Langley Associates or other Paramount Licensed
- Star Trek jewelery (unless gold or silver)
- Star Trek Shows/Movies (there will always be a better format)
WORTH - LESS MONEY
- Examples: Diamond Select Retro Star Trek toy figures, Checker Star Trek Logs, All Star Trek models Re-issues, Star Trek Book Re-issues or Star Trek Re-issues of anything else now or in the future.

________________________________________________________________________________STAR TREK LIVES - SEE THE MOVIE MAY 2009
Star Trek is the eleventh entry in the Star Trek film series—based on Gene Roddenberry's science fiction franchise. Sometimes referred to as Star Trek XI (the working title being Star Trek 90210), the film received extensive coverage in the entertainment press during 2005 and 2006. In April 2006, after several years of rumor and speculation, Paramount Pictures announced that the film will be produced by Lost co-creators J. J. Abrams (who is also directing the film) and Damon Lindelof, and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who will also be executive producing along with Bryan Burk and Stratton Leopold. The story revolves around Harvey Bennett/Ron Howard script Star Trek: The Academy Years.
George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) has been selected to provide the special visual effects for Star Trek (2009).The Enterprise (NCC-1701) will appear in the film. In the world of Star Trek the ships and especially The Enterprise(s) are as beloved as the heroes themselves. Since Star Trek (2009) is a prequel it was unclear if the ship would make an appearance. Now we know that we will see Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise in Star Trek (2009). Some version of an Enterprise has appeared in every single Trek film (although the Enterprise A is only shown briefly at the end of STIV, but in Generations you even had two Enterprises: B & D).
J.J. Abrams is no dummy. With the future of the Star Trek film franchise hinging on his fresh-faced reboot, the Cloverfield producer knew the best time to debut Star Trek XI's first teaser would be the date he'd been mercilessly drilling into moviegoers' brains for months: 1-18-08.
It's a teaser, so the less you go in expecting, the more you'll probably enjoy it; that being said, these few seconds of footage definitely make the most of themselves. And while you're at the Trek site, you may wish to follow the instructions laid out by ComingSoon:
In addition to the new trailer coming online in High Definition quality, the official website has added a red blinking light to the right of the words "UNDER CONSTRUCTION," which, if clicked on, takes you to a new viral site with the URL NCC-1701.com. It features four cameras of the shipyard which you can bring into focus by changing the frequency.
If you let the page sit long enough, the "offline" camera on the page will show a corridor for just a second!
* Chris Pine as James T. Kirk
* Zachary Quinto as Spock
* Karl Urban as Leonard McCoy
* Simon Pegg as Montgomery Scott
* Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov
* Zoë Saldaña as Uhura
* John Cho as Hikaru Sulu
* Eric Bana as Nero, the villain of the film
* Clifton Collins Jr. as General Ayel, Nero's henchman
* Leonard Nimoy as the older Spock
* William Shatner NOT IN STAR TREK***
* George Takei as the older Sulu?
* Bruce Greenwood as Christopher Pike
* Winona Ryder as Amanda Grayson, Spock's human mother
* Ben Cross as Sarek
* Chris Hemsworth as George Samuel Kirk, Senior (Kirk's father)
* Rachel Nichols in an unknown role
* Jennifer Morrison in an unknown role
Michael Giacchino, noted for his scores for, LOST, The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible III, and the animated comedy, Ratatouille, is to score the new Star Trek movie.
STAR TREK: THE EXHIBITION
From Tour to Exhibition?
Startrek.com not updated, still has old information on Star Trek: The Tour?
One of the most common questions asked over the last few months has been ‘what ever happened to Star Trek The Tour?’ The Tour was announced last December and had a big premiere in January at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA, and ran until early March. Since that time things went quiet, but behind the scenes the show was being refined and there was a change in management and a change of name. ‘The Exhibition’ is now being run by Premier Exhibitions, Inc, who handle a number of museum quality touring exhibitions, including the Titanic Artifact Exhibition.
Highlights of the Exhibition
* The opportunity for exhibit-goers to sit on a full-size Enterprise bridge from the original TV series and have their photo taken and superimposed with an image of the original cast – including Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy and Mr. Scott – to look as if the Enterprise crew is standing right next to them.
* Recreations of original sets from Star Trek: The Next Generation®, including Captain Picard’s quarters and command chair.
* The chance to take a ride through the Galaxy in two full-motion flight simulators.
* The ability for guests to star with the original cast in an episode of their choice and watch themselves interact with Star Trek icons such as Mr. Spock and Mr. Scott. Guests can take home a DVD of their cameo to share with family and friends.
Write Sci-Fi Channel that you want ENTERPRISE back as a TV SPECIAL
Write Paramount Television/Pictures and tell them you would like to see William Shatner's directors cut for Star Trek V. Following the success of the Director's Editions of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 2002 and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and subsequent collector's edition DVD releases of the third and fourth films in the series, William Shatner lobbied Paramount to be allowed a budget to film new special effects sequences and otherwise re-tool Final Frontier in order to improve the film. His request was rejected by the studio and the original release version was reissued instead. Budget constraints were Paramount's fault not allowing for William Shatner's real vision "Star Trek V - An Act of Love." The humor was ordered by Paramount because of Star Trek IV. The original idea was a darker Star Trek.
You can also contact the Stars of the Star Trek shows/movies, put there name and C/O After the Star Trek of your choice. Put Star Trek and the show TOS, THG, DS9, VOY, Enterprise or Star Trek XI ahead of their name.
