Hi, all! Imagine you could get your hands on one item from the Star Trek universe - one prop, item of clothing or piece of memorabilia. Anything at all, in fact - it doesn't necessarily have to be from the set. It could be a script, for example. What would your ideal prize be? Let's limit this to The Original Series and Next Generation just to make things a bit simpler.
OS - One of the old metallic tricorders... they just look so retro and cool... TNG - Some of the original Borg props they made up for the Q Who episode... back when the Borg were actually scary lol Bonus - Seven's silver catsuit from Voy... Gf would look so hot in that lmao M
Since we're talking imaging. I'll go big-time. I'd want all of the interior sets of the Enterprise-E. Especially the bridge and Engineering. Including the recycled Voyager sets redone for Enterprise-E. They'd make a great tourist attraction if done right.
From TOS: one of each of the main 7 characters costumes. An original phaser, communicator and tricorder. Kirks chair. The filming models of Ncc-1701 and 1701-A and a D-7. From TNG: The filming models of Enterprise C & D and the filming model of a V'orcha class Klingon ship.
Either of the wall display of the 1701-D or the models on the 1701-E of all the ships named Enterprise that are in the conference lounge...
I'd get something simple that I could keep on my desk or nearby. Tricorders from TNG would be a good idea. Also the badges or phasers or PADDS.
I feel swamped by material things. One small object to touch that was there would be fine. A chunk off the horta, from my favorite ep. Or an insignia. Even one gumdrop button off a bridge station.
Wow this is hard. I think for TNG I would go with a uniform shirt worn by Brent Spiner. Complete with communicator and pips. I actually did see this at a store in Downtown Disney in 2008. It was even on a bust of Data.
OS : Phaser and/or Tricorder would be a sweet prize. TNG : A model from one of the romulan ships that was used most often ( I don't know my ship names very well, hopefully some one can name the ship Im thinking of ) OR one of the 'Data's Head' props from Time's Arrow - Kytee
I was president of a large Star Trek club and the committee once decided that my ultimate Trek collectible would be the transparent face mold Data holds up in "Datalore". It was going to be such a cool Jello mold for club meetings.
TNG: How about those various alternate universe comm badges that Worf wore as he flipped from universe to universe. Just having a set of the original comm badges would be neat and portable. TOS: Kirk's chair. I'd swivel mount it and use it in front of my computer. Heck, maybe I would even have one of the TOS desks and put my laptop on it.
