Here we have a collection of props and stuff we found in the Trek box including the only working phaser that was made o keep William Shatner from making a second album.
Here are various command modules and Captain Sisko's command chair from the USS Defiant. Apparently most of the cast members are only six inches tall.
We also have Enterprise D blueprints but they've been hidden so fullscale mom doesn't get the idea to try and make one.
Anyone making a red shirt joke will be escorted out of the exhibit as it's obvious I'm not wearing a shirt.

Over here we have scale models of Star Trek ships.
You're welcome to hold one and have a souvenir picture taken infront of the space background to commemorate your visit.

I love the exhibit hall!
While on vacation, I was in a collectables store that had a Star Trek Bridge playset from the original series. It had a transporter for the dolls (you spun the doll around on a platform and it vanished). Since I knew I couldn't afford it, I didn't ask about the price.
But I did think of this convention (my dolls may arrive late, due to real life zaniness).

Fascinating. Especially the little command controls. My G.I Joe size folks could probably set up shop there.

The control panels are from Playmates figures. Most were one scale then with First Contact they made them bigger. If I remember correctly these would be from the DS9 figures, Sisko, O'Brien, and a couple of aliens.

That is just awesome. I remember those toys! Been years since I've seen them, though.
My friend is a Trekkie. He even dragged me to a convention with him way back in high school. I got to meet O'brien and ... Lwaxana Troi, I think (I really wanted to meet Data and Picard but the convention wasn't important enough for THEM to show up *sniff*). lol
I think you must be on par with him for collecting the toys and memorabelia (he doesn't have those toys, though, just the little action figures and the Barbie-sized versions). He also has a huge bookcase filled with Star Trek novels, probably all of the ST: NTG comic books, signed pictures, collector plates, Christmas ornaments of all the ships, and of course every episode ever made.
The one thing he doesn't have is a Tribble. Which is just wrong because how can one call themselves a fan and not have a Tribble in their collection? XD

No Tribbles here either. I don't have much, just those, around 100 Playmates 5" scale figures (had a shop in Hollywood that got me great deals on gently used stuff when geeks needed money), a ton of CCG cards, and a few books, behind the scenes stuff and episode guides. Not to many novels as I didn't like them much, I don't even have many of the shows. The only regret is the amount cards but looking back at it I know why I was obsessing over them.
The action figures were my thing before the dolls, they still would be if that scale was still made, and I wish they made some Vorta but sera-sera. If it was getting Keevan action figure or dealing with Keevan himself I'm happy with the end I got.
