Golden Arches or Beans

There's also tie ins to other products. Heck, I saw a car comercial the other day that had the quote "Starships don't use keys" or something of that nature. It showed the driver push a button to turn it on, then out the windshield you see the familiar star scape going to warp. Think it was a lexus commercial. Can anyone find it online and link it to here?

If the spy photos are accurate, a tie in with the Aptera would make sense.

Nimoy and his daughter were in an Oldsmobile commercial many years ago when the tag line was, "This is not your father's Oldsmobile. This is the new generation of Olds."

Well, a commercial for the Aptera could have Nimoy and Quinto. The tag line, "This is not your Old Spock's automobile." OK, maybe that slogan needs work. There's time.

Let's think outside the box. Way outside the box.

I think Paramount should focus its entire marketing on a Tetra-fin tie in.

Its a gamble, but I think it might pay off.

I don't care for fast food. But Lego sets would rule. The Star Wars Lego sets are top notch, and the Lego Star Wars video games, and the Lego Indiana Jones game are a lot of fun, and addicting. And that's saying a lot, coming from a hardcore gamer such as myself.

When I was a wee thing I kicked ASS at legos.. I'd probably kick even more ass at Star Trek legos.
 
^ Good effort :lol:

It may be lost on our american and canadian friends, but still pretty funny.
 
I should probably look into getting a restored TMP Bally pinball machine (I think it was Bally's, anyway). I was actually pretty good at it back in the day (fuck, almost 30 freakin' years ago now)!

Daddy, what's a pinball machine? :devil:

Actually, that machine was sweet. Yes, Bally. I think there was a contest in Starlog or somewhere (back then) where they gave one away. I didn't win. :(

I remember that ad looking more like Star Wars hyperspace.

Ah, found it: http://www.lincoln.com/extras/tvads.asp
 
Bleh! False advertising!! I want a real starship and I want it now, dammit!

The car is the new Lincoln MKS... http://www.lincoln.com/extras/tvads.asp
It will probably be McDonald's who will do the tie-in. They have a history of promoting Star Trek in the Happy Meals.

I don't usually eat at any of these. Taco Bell had a tie-in with Star Trek III back in the day, but i think McD's is the safest bet.

Mr. Fergy, I love the avatar you got there. Sisko would have my vote any year.

Anyway, if this movie had a tie-in to McD's or Burger King, wouldn't that mean that we would have to have toys? Little Chris Pine Kirk's or reimagined Enterprise's?

Sure..why not? the whole idea is to interject a new trek to a new generaton...so why not go after the youngest of us all? The kids? I love most of the 'kids meals' because even I like have a little fun with them. Innocent stuff here..I am ALL for product placement...so...make a run for the border tonight!
