** UPDATE ** Due to some licensing issues and out of professional courtesy to The FX Company & CBS Consumer Products, we've edited our article.  Unfortunately, this wickedly awesome Enterprise model won't be available for purchase any time soon.  

See, it even makes Deanna Troi sad.  

Check out the edited article below.

Many Trek fans have the various ships from Star Trek as the centerpiece of their Trek culture collections. We've all seen the different models from Diamond Select, Master Replicas, QMX, and even Playmates, but none seem to compare to those built by the FX Company. Deemed the largest licensed scale reproduction of the Enterprise, the ship measures 34.5 inches long and boasts a complex controllable lighting system. We actually got a chance to check out the "old gal" at the Star Trek Fan Days in Plano and can say that she is magnificent.

What do you do after days of waiting on baited breath for your Star Trek Pizza Cutter from Think Geek to arrive at your house? Dig out that frostbitten pizza from your freezer, of course. So after plopping that block of ice…errr…ummm, I mean pizza, into the oven we ran for our camera so that we could share the shiny-ness that is the Star Trek Pizza Cutter with you.

First off we were impressed with the quality of the box. The packaging is worthy of note, as many of the pizza cutters are (we’re sure) destined to a collector’s display cabinet, never to touch a pizza. The main product box is inside a generic white box, which was inside a typical cardboard box for shipping. This main box is made of very sturdy cardboard with quite an appealing graphic stamped onto it with a silver leaf feel. In fact, it’s so nice we don’t want to throw it away. I have a feeling it’s going to end up in the closet with our Apple product boxes that seem just a little too nice to get rid of (…and before you ask if there are piles of newspapers stacked up around here, the answer is NO). Inside you’ll find that the pizza cutter is nestled in billowy foam gently holding it in place, clean and scratch free. Once you remove the covering foam pieces you are treated to a view of a shiny silver version of the Original Series U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.

Mondo Tees' wildly popular & limited edition posters have been hot commodities among Trek fans since the first release back in June. Now, we just got word that the next edition of the series will go on sale tomorrow and features the TOS episode "Journey to Babel". This iconic episode features our first encounter with Spock's father & mother (Sarek & Amanda) as well the Andorian and Tellarite species. The new poster was designed by illustrator Tom Whalen and features a pop-culture propaganda design showcasing the episode.

Mondo Tees, purveyor of all things rad and poster-y have just announced the next edition of their Star Trek poster series. This time, the poster gets assimilated. We've covered both of the previous releases from Mondo, including the Khan-a-licious (spell check wanted to change that to Khan-a-vicious, which works too) and the striking "Trouble with Tribbles" poster (check out our live coverage of the release here). For their brand spanking new release, artisit Ken Taylor designed a beautiful 24 x 36 poster for a Trek fan favorite, "Star Trek: First Contact".

The posters go on sale Thursday at an undisclosed time. If they sell anything like the last two have, you better have your finger poised on the mouse button to buy as soon as they're released. Since Mondo Tees is local for us, We'll probably be heading down there sometime on Thursday to grab ours.  I also guess, we'll only be buying one, they're limited to 1 per household.  Hmmm.....

Here are the deets from the Mondo site:

Last month, Mondo Tees wildly popular "Space Seed" limited edition poster solid out in less than an hour and started a Trek culture sensation.  This month, they're releasing not one, but two special edition prints for fan favorite TOS episode "The Trouble With Tribbles".  

LCARS or Library Computer Access/Retrieval System is something that most if not all Trek fans are familiar with. Even if you've never heard the acronym before, you've seen it in action. You know, the computer interfaces with multi-colored pill-shaped buttons that litter nearly every computer and control from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" onward. Even "Enterprise" and the new J.J. Abrams's "Star Trek" had they're own custom controls and user interfaces.

A large amount of Star Trek memorabilia will be hitting the auction block this June in Vegas and It's all going to charity.  Included in the auction are items from the blockbuster Star Trek XI such as romulan weopons, cadet unifroms & badges, as well as Spock Prime's cold weather gear worn by Leonard Nimoy on Delta Vega.

Diamond Select is known for it's star trek replicas, ranging from ships to props and everything in between.  For all of you TOS fans who love to collect the various phasers, communicators, and tricorders, they have a brand new tricorder in the works.  Much like the earlier released medical and science tricorders, Diamond is releasing a specialized geological tricorder.  The new replica will include two opening compartments and removable vials of mineral samples.

From all indications, the tricorder will be available in July and will run $44.99.  However, we haven't found any promise that the mineral samples are safe for use with a transporter.  Remember this thing?

We are like most Star Trek Fans, collect everything you can and put it out on display.  Lots of Trek fans have huge collections, there's even a hashtag on twitter #trekcollection.  Well, if you missed getting your hands on Star Trek XI stuff and you're a Sam's Club member, you still have a chance.  Sam's is offering the Playmates 12 inch action figures in the Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Original Spock flavors for $9.81 each.
