The 80’s were a truly iconic time in American pop culture. The spark or growth of huge series like Star Wars, Back to the Future, and Star Trek began in those years. These massive franchises have enormous fanbases internationally to this day. Chances are, if you’re reading this then you are a fan of something pop ...
One of the most classic shows of all time has been honored with its very own minifig collection. Geeks, sci-fi fans, and space nerds alike will go crazy for the Star Trek TNG Minifig collection. All of your favorite crew members shrunk down into a tiny, brick-like body. Ready to explore the final frontier: the top of ...
Oh, come on. Let’s not pretend this Star Trek Warp Core USB Car Charger is insinuating anything every Trekkie hasn’t suspected all along: every starship engineer eventually slips a lightning cable into the works to refresh a dying device’s juice. Subspace bubble be damned, nobody makes Geordi run those diagnostics ...
From the rank and file of Starfleet to the farthest reaches of the Klingon and Romulan empires, you can learn a little something about a gentleman or lady from the way one pops off a bottle cap. For example, a human who needs only a table’s edge to crack open a frosty beverage may lack the efficient Vulcan logic to ...
Set phasers to caffeinate! Keep your senses bat’leth sharp with a healthy dose of morning coffee in this heat changing mug. Pour in your piping hot jump-start elixir and watch as the crew of the USS Enterprise vanishes from the transporter pad on one side of the mug and appear planetside on the other. As the mug cools ...
"Bed. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the sleep-aid Ambien. Its five-hour mission: to explore trippy new dreams, to seek out new positions and the cool side of the pillow, to boldly snooze like no man has napped before." To your average adult, a bed is little more than a big, comfy place to idly doze ...
Far be it for us to question the ingenuity or forward thinking of the Enterprise crew, but for all the time everyone spends in lush holodeck simulations and experimenting in the hydroponics lab, how is there not a single garden gnome to be found charming the Starfleet-regulation pants off even that perpetual grump ...
The original "Star Trek" is nothing if not timeless. It was an exciting, fun, and often thoughtful slice of sci-fi cheese 50 years ago and the years have only endeared it further to one generation after another. Time may stand still today when we venture aboard Capt. James T. Kirk's iconic U.S.S. Enterprise ...
We all eventually tell the generations that come after us, "Don't be in such a hurry to grow up." Here's one time we will gladly rescind that advice: this Star Trek Planetary Glassware set combines the joy of drinking with learning about other solar systems in a style no elementary science classroom will ever equal. ...
Just about any day can be a good day to die. There's never any honor in bearing one's nerdy armaments in a messenger bag that says anything less than, "Brute strength is not the most important asset in a fight, and I am not a geek to be trifled with." The sigil stamped on this Klingon Messenger Bag's front flap is ...
Backyard airspace - the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Quadcopter Enterprise. Our seven-minute* radio-controlled mission: to impress new Trekkie friends, to seek out new birds and squirrels to harass, to boldly go where lots of drones have gone before, but in a much cooler fashion. You'll never own ...
Every well-read nerd should recognize by now that "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry was well ahead of his time it came to imagining the bold places science and technology could boldly go where no man had gone before. This November, get read to break the ground you've been dying to explore since you first saw "Star ...
Every time we watch "Star Trek: The Next Generation," we like to think Geordi La Forge's visor gives him enough awareness of his environment to not set down a frosty beverage atop the Enterprise's LCARS (Library Computer Access/Retrieval System) operating system display. With that in mind, we would like to ...
Set senses of humor to "Self-Deprecating Jokes About Aging", everybody. The 50th anniversary of "Star Trek" debuting in prime time on CBS in 1966 is upon us and it's a grand excuse to celebrate a half-century of iconic science fiction the best way us nerds know how: toys. Enough toys to fill four legendary starships ...
It's a crossover clash that could only play out across the tabletop battlefield of a game with seemingly as many franchise skins and custom rules of play as hours players have sunk into vying for bragging rights of strategic military domination. This is RISK: The Star Trek 50th Anniversary Edition. Suppose that the ...
Look, if an annoying little know-it-all prat like Wesley Crusher can set a toe on the bridge of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard's USS Enterprise - and later become the de facto Overlord of Twitter - then there's no good reason your toddler can't don Starfleet colors before he can say, "Shut up, Wesley." If childhood, like ...
Think about something: 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek", the year the debut episode of the original series starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and George Takei debuted on CBS. Mattel introduced the very first Barbie doll seven years earlier in 1959. When you really ...
Many will agree that The Next Generation was the best Star Trek television series because of the bigger Enterprise and the new crew, like Deanna Troi, which many Trekkies had, and still do have, a little crush. There was something about 'the good doctor' that allured the attention of viewers, it was her soft ...
We have to give the ride through the Star Trek universe captained by J.J. Abrams this much: if nothing else, he continues the tradition of every new era making its own impression in its own fashion. Except "Enterprise". We just don't have much to say about it. With two movies under his belt and trifecta ...
As language made possible higher levels of human civilization, a lack of understanding other nations' languages has been the cause of many wars. Even on a personal level, misunderstanding an individual who speaks another language is always frustrating, especially when you want to comprehend what they are saying. ...
We don't necessarily share Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's optimism for the positive potential for food replication technology. Sure, maybe a shipboard VI could accurately concoct anyone's preferred cuppa on demand, provided it's tea. Earl Grey. Hot. We can't ignore the hunch it was instead Douglas Adams who ...
An epidemic is spreading through the Star Trek community much like the infestation of the Enterprise in episode 44, but this time its worse than Weebles. Star Trek fans are being assimilated by the Borg Cube Mug, its true, they made a coffee cup cubed shaped! The Borg will stop at nothing to reach their goal – ...
When the original Star Trek came out, it was an epic success that opened the world's eye to the possibility that civilizations from other worlds exist, finding them was the mission of the Enterprise crew. While playsets were common back in the 70's and 80's, this playset was different in that it took kids' ...
When your next Casual Friday rolls around, be bold. Be bold enough to go where no man has gone before. This ThinkGeek-exclusive STAR TREK Hawaiian Shirt is perhaps a bit too kitschy for the dignified, stoic likes of Picard, Sisko, Janeway, or even Scott Bakula's Capt. Jonathan Archer, but we like to it would look ...
We nerds love our collectible figures in a very special way. No, no. THAT "very special way" is reserved for your mom. On the other hand, incredible collectible figures such as these STAR TREK tributes to William Shatner and the late Leonard Nimoy's legendary turns as Capt. James T. Kirk and his lifelong Vulcan ...
Why beat around the bush? If "growing up" means we're too big and too "adult" to tote our little essentials in itty-bitty "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Tiny Tins lunch box replicas, then resistance really is futile. If we can't do both, then you can find us aboard the U.S.S. Blanket-Fort's bridge coloring. We'll ...
For we nerds enjoying our early and mid-thirties, 2016's 50th anniversary commemoration of the original "Star Trek" is something incredibly special. The original series is just a few years younger than "Doctor Who", but those of us who grew up here in the United States cut our young teeth on syndicated classic ...
Allow us to be unapologetic conspiracy-baiting skeptics for just one moment: is the premiere STAR TREK BEYOND trailer so spare with juicy plot reveals out of ambition to enigmatically show more while actually telling far less, or because J.J. Abrams' strategically duplicitous "Benedict Cumberbatch is not playing Khan" ...
Bed. The Final Frontier. These are the naps of Starship Sleepytime... There's an irresistible intersection where geeky nostalgic kitsch meets charmingly adorable. If you have a bona fide classic Trekkie on your holiday list with a penchant for plush, then give a gift this season that honors the iconic doo-dads of ...
Exfoliate Your Nacelles Don't lie, you know you've conjured some of your very best ideas in the bathroom. This officially licensed STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION Enterprise Blueprint Shower Curtain may just inspire you to engineer the world's first working impulse engine. Hopefully, your first morning cup of coffee ...
We can't imagine a place this STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION Enterprise rug wouldn't look right at home. Personally, we've given it a home in our office foyer in front of an electronically locked door to our main work area, where everyone who desires entry must stand on it and proudly announce, "Permission to come ...
Calm down. No matter how faithfully recreated these ThinkGeek-exclusive STAR TREK Transporter Pad LED Coasters may look and sound, they will not "dematerialize" your drink. That's between you and your liver to hash out. Credit where it's due, these four coasters imitate the STAR TREK: TOS devices in both light-up ...
Only the Borg could so efficiently engineer an accouterment so simple and versatile as the STAR TREK Borg Cube Glowing Chair. That's why we sincerely hope ThinkGeek paid them well, lst someone should discover the hard way that the collective shares a surprisingly astutely formed concept of "ripped right the hell off". ...
Have a Trekie in your life who also happens to be an adept modeler? If so, your holiday shopping ends right here. Metal Earth's four-ship STAR TREK set of 3D model kits is a marvel of intricate, borderline obsessive attention to detail that pays tribute to a rivalry seemingly old as the stars themselves: Federation ...
Many Trekkies cosplay. Few truly go full-damn-Worf and wield a four-foot-long Klongon Bat'leth. Don't tell us what you're thinking, because we already know and have no choice but to disappoint you: this phenomenally faithful STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION prop replica will not actually a Jehovah's Witness in two ...
We all look the same in the dark. Leave little doubt, even out of uniform, who gives the ranking orders. Don a pair of officially licensed Star Trek TNG Uniform Panties from this versatile ThinkGeek three-pack, and we promise, none will question who wears the conspicuously absent pants on your bridge. Counting on a ...
Of all the movies destined to equal BACK TO THE FUTURE II in accurately foretelling 2015's eventual innovations, we have to admit, nobody in the Unique Hunters office pool picked STAR TREK: THE VOYAGE HOME. And yet, behold, Transparent Aluminum. No whales in space, though. Yet. More specifically, U.S. Naval ...
Must. Resist. Millennium Falcon. And STAR TREK. Jokes...LOW...HANGING...FRUIT... Look, considering that a Public University of Navarre research team in Spain have successfully implemented ultrasonic acoustic holograms in a working tractor beam to levitate small particles, you'll pardon us if it's all we can do not ...
Working for Starfleet is just like any job, there is always some type of paper work or recording activity to do. That is why the scientists at Starfleet designed the standard issue Star Trek TNG Uniform Messenger Bags – Exclusive, to match the specific color of station uniform for starships’ crews: Blue Uniform – ...
The holiday season is so many things to so many people. Some slap anyone who dares impugn their special-snowflake belief structure with a "Merry Christmas" or even "Happy Chanukah" in a merry little chokehold. Some of us kick it with a bottle of 12-year-old single-malt scotch and DIE HARD. If Christianity happens to ...
Space –the final frontier is currently out of reach for most here on earth, which is why the Star Trek universe is a big hit. If you love all things related to the movie franchise, especially the older series Star Trek: The Next Generation, then you will be most thrilled when you discover there are Star Trek TNG ...
No Star Fleet officer or cadet straight out of the academy would ever be caught off guard on a landing party, by Klingons on the ground or by any hostile alien creature, without a standard Star Trek III phaser! It just makes sense. A Star Trek phaser can be the only thing keeping a treky alive in space or at any ...
Every Star Trek era had its noble, iconic captain. Only one had George Takei. With all due respect to Steve Carrel's lovably jerky Michael Scott, "That's what she said" is a witty but very...specialized volley for innuendo. Now, the rich baritone of Takei's bemused, shocked and even a bit titillated "Oh, myyy?" ...
Star Trek: The Next Generation may just be the most successful series of the franchise to date, and it’s hard to combat 178 episodes over seven seasons of pure Sci-Fi bliss. Every year there are a number of Trekkie conventions, and this year’s is set in flashy Las Vegas, Nevada. If you’ve got your sights set on ...
World hunger today is still a touchy subject. 1 in 9 people, mainly in developing countries, suffer from malnourishment. While our world hopes to eliminate this issue as fast as possible, you may just wish you had a food replicator. For Trekkie nerds, we all know that food replicators make chefs nearly obsolete, with ...
We’ve all grown up with one of the reincarnations of the ever-popular Star Trek franchise, whether it’s been the original, TNG, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, or Enterprise. While you may be hoping for another installment on your TV screen, it doesn’t look like that’s very likely per Jonathan Frakes, at least until the ...
Everyone loves great summer picnics and parties, but if your lawn is seriously dying of boredom you may want to explore some options. ThinkGeek is serving some Trekkie inspiration in their lawn gnome collection. Besides, who needs a game of gnomes when your garden can boldly go where no gnome has gone before? Each ...
Are you a big fan of James T. Kirk, the spaceship captain with an arrogance that is only rivaled by his ability to seduce alien women? Well hold onto your phasers and photon torpedoes, because MythBuster’s is boldly going where no chair has gone before! Co-host of the science show Adam Savage is known for his ...
Ever wanted your own starship like Captain James Kirk or Jean-Luc Picard? Can’t get enough of epic space battles? Why build a metal starship when you can create one that’s edible? That’s right; we’re getting festive with the Gingerbread USS Enterprise. Created by Blackmarket Bakery in Costa Mesa, California, this ...
