I've not seen Star Trek merchandise in any store, mall or nerd shop in a year. Searching on Amazon yields Nacelle and static TOS figures and t shirts. It's not great for merch. My best bet is the local Vintage Stock store with second hand toys
Paramount is god awful with Merch, especially compared to Star Wars. Star Trek has been on TV for 10 years now, why is it so hard to find cool merch? I did find the Chibi Lower decks key rings at Target. I bought four and got Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendy, so I was happy. 
But other than that, I have not seen Star Trek merch in the wild in a year or more.

There's a metallic, shiny Badgey chase key ring? Cool. 
If you're lucky! The Manchester one had a whole aisle of Funkos last time I went in, and a shelf of Trek books
The Birmingham one is pretty nice. Has a big inflatable Enterprise-D and N-1 starfighter hanging from the ceiling.
Nottingham one is terrible but it's a different company. One has a dash one does not just to confuse.
Lego is becoming filet mignon so I don't mind the cheaper brands and Mega Blocks had fun figures.
Exo-6 stuff sells well and they just released the Lego Enterprise D which sold out almost immediately.
So people are selectively buying 23rd/24th century items?
I agree they are getting more expensive but IMO are just so much the better brand overall.
Not so selectively, because they have multiple lines going that regularly sell out.
Something you can't say for the 32nd century stuff.
Who is saying that? Or claiming otherwise? Paramount always doubled down on TOS era merchandising or TNG era.
And yet Playmate figures didn't, nor did Playmobil. So people are selectively purchasing 23rd and 24th century items.
Here's one for people to buy On Amazon a LCARS dish set

The shows just weren't popular enough for paramount to sell toys. It takes a lot to produce them. So there is a bit out there but not much..
I have a nice sci-fi collection and Trek, idk......it's either cheap or $700 for a SNW phaser.......last decent stuff was from The Wand Company.....
False equivalencies are the default position some take when attempting to defend the various failings of NuTrek, and in predictable fashion, the subject they compare NuTrek to is TOS. TOS's key points is that it succeeded after cancellation (let us not forget NBC's demographics discovery, which also makes TOS an entirely different case than SFA) and launched what was once an ever-growing franchise. SFA simply died as a series few wanted to see, only this time, it turned out to be a disaster. There's no franchise parallel to that, no matter how certain fans would like that to be the case, or lay all blame on a pack of social media Right Wingers grinding their favoirite sociopolitical axes..
I've heard a few jokes recently, that no one in America over 50 knows how to find Peacock, and that no one under 50 wants to.
That wide disparity between pricing and quality is the big problem with tie-in merch these days. Also doesn’t help that Paramount is charging ungodly sums for licensing agreements. I believe that’s why Hero Within and others have given up their licenses because it’s no longer financially viable.
