Unlike any other property of the 60s/70s, Star Trek's licensed products used images or art that was created by other companies (ex. the Gold Key type appearing on the Remco ST utility belt, or Mego using AMT's Enterprise box art as part of its Phaser targeting game). <br /><br />Though unintentional, the mixed up, cross company use of art almost made the merchandising of Trek appear unified--decades before CBS instituted all merchandise bear the same "Remastered" Enterprise, and stroked logo.GFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-65963232491658177252011-12-11T04:13:52.590-08:002011-12-11T04:13:52.590-08:00Thanks for the warning.

But I wouldn't pay $30-40 for a b/w comic strip!<br /><br />PS: I love the TOS view master reels. :)tintorerahttp://tintorera.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-36869629969898480732010-09-29T05:45:05.188-07:002010-09-29T05:45:05.188-07:00Rob,

These featured one-minute 8mm film loops from various TV shows and cartoons, and the ST one featured the scene from "By Any Other Name" where they cross the barrier at the end of the galaxy, plus a scene where the two redshirts are dehydrated. This was my first actual bit of film from the show that I would watch when I wanted, and it was great!Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-58632630664727633902010-09-28T19:44:18.741-07:002010-09-28T19:44:18.741-07:00I bought and was duped by the same filmstrip and v...I bought and was duped by the same filmstrip and viewer. It didn't cost much at the local K-Mart - less than a couple of bucks at the time - but I had to save some allowance money over a couple of weeks to afford it. During all that time I kept trying to figure out what episode might be in there and for some reason kept hoping for "The Doomsday Machine." It was a great lesson in "buyer beware."Rob Bignellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286916984989820845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-21800191305681139592009-03-03T18:49:00.000-08:002009-03-03T18:49:00.000-08:00I know we don't know each other, In fact I just st...I know we don't know each other, In fact I just stumbled on your blog today! I love it! I have been a Star Trek fan since the original when I was a kid. I can't wait to poke through your archives! Anyway, someone presented me with a Spreader of Love blog award, and I am supposed to pass it on. I thought since your blog put a big smile on my face, I would pass it on to you. If you go to my blog you can read all about it. But I totally understand if you don't pass it on, just wanted you to know it was there! Be well, live long and of course prosper!

Very illustrative of the fun and melodrama of the original series that was so often absent from the latter day shows.<BR/><BR/>I've often thought it would be great to have a coffee table book of rare promotional photos from the original series. There are some terrific ones floating around out there, but sadly there doesn't seem to be a repository for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
