Hi everyone.
On the heels of my new "Star Trek The Collectibles" Book that is now on it's way to printers as we speak and will be released this October I have an even newer Star Trek project that I am now currently working on.
It is a Star Trek Collectibles Magazine. It will feature articles and stories about the collecting side of Star Trek.
So my question to all of you is this: What do you as Star Trek memorabilia collectors like to see in a magazine dedicated specifically to the collecting side of Star Trek?
There will be no articles on the different ST shows or sneak peaks and spoilers on the new movie. The only focus that will be made to any of the shows and movies will be what past, present or future toys have been or are being produced based on them. There will also be no articles or interviews with William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, Kate Mulgrew, Jolene Blalock, Dominic Keating, Anthony Montgomery, Linda Park, Connor Trinneer and the many other past and/or current Star Trek stars other than maybe a quick blurb on what it was like for them to see themselves made into an action figure or that type of thing maybe LOL

This is a magazine specifically focused on YOU and for YOU, the Star Trek fan and collector and the variety of memorabilia you collect, plus articles on those companies and the talented people both past and present who created and manufactured the toys and memorabilia you collect and cherish.
Some of the magazine articles currently slated to be in the mag so far will be an interview with Playmates Toys on the new Star Trek movie toys, an interview with Art Asylum/Diamond Select, plus some very cool images of prototypes and other unique and rare Star Trek pieces to name just a few.

Now I realize that asking a question like what would you like to see in this magazine is a rather wide open and dangerous question to ask the masses, but hopefully we won't have people all over the map with what they would like to see. If you have something you would like to see, please tell me exactly what it is and why. Just don't say "Deep Space Nine Toys". Try to be as specific as you can to which exactly ones and explain why.
I would also like to hear from other large collectors and possibly do a story about you and your collection. Don't be shy, let me know.
If you don't want everyone else to know or at least know this early on, just PM or e-mail me.
Remember, this magazine is after all not only for the Star Trek fans and memorabilia collectors but is also about you, the Star Trek fan and memorabilia collector.
So, having said all that, please let me know what you would like to see in this new exciting Star Trek Collector magazine :)

Thanks

Steve Kelley
 
Sounds pretty interesting, I tend to avoid most of these magazines that feature cast interviews, etc. these days since most of them come off as fluff pieces (typical interview: "Oh yeah this is the best movie of them all," What's next? "I can't tell you yet but you'll love it.").
Will a price guide be included at some point? How about a piece covering the history of certain toy lines or ornaments, comics, etc.?
