I am a die-hard
Star Trek fan,

:51:03
and I'm going
all over the country

:51:05
trying to get
everything I can,

:51:07
before I die, of Star Trek.
:51:08
This is the Data
"Redemption"--

:51:10
the red Playmates doll--
:51:12
the one that's very rare
and valuable,

:51:15
and I got it for $25
at a convention,

:51:18
and now they're going
for $250, $300, which--

:51:20
Not that I'll ever sell mine.
It's not for sale!

:51:23
These dolls and things
all have numbers on their feet,

:51:25
and they look for
the lowest number.

:51:27
I'm about to do a valuable trade
for these two figures

:51:31
from the Huntsville, Alabama,
convention

:51:32
that go for
about 100 bucks apiece

:51:35
because they were limited
to only 10,000

:51:38
for the equally rare
Thomas Riker figure

:51:41
because I'm getting
the better end of the deal

:51:44
because the production number
was a bit lower

:51:46
and goes
for considerably more

:51:48
on the secondary market
than this set.

:51:51
There you go.
These are from Huntsville.

:51:53
Huntsville-- That's the only place
you can get these, huh?

:51:55
And some were numbered over 10,000,
but that was a mistake.

:51:58
They used parts
from another figure.

:52:01
Ah! Interesting.
Thank you.

:52:02
Those were actually the legs
from "The Cage" Spocks.

:52:05
How do you know all that?
:52:08
I'm on the internet.
:52:09
Ha ha!
I'm keeping those for myself.

:52:13
Man: My folks used to get really mad
because I'd just talk about it

:52:15
and talk about it
and talk about it all the time,

:52:18
Ioving all the wonderful
Star Trek stuff,

:52:20
and here am I now, 27 years old,
:52:22
and I still collect all these things,
and I love it just as much.

:52:25
The super phaser
target game--

:52:26
This was pretty hip
for the early seventies.

:52:29
Star Trek: The Motion Picture--
the pop-up book.

:52:32
These were the hottest thing
when I was a kid.

:52:34
Taco Bell was running
this special,

:52:35
and these are Star Trek
1984 drinking glasses,

:52:40
and in 1989, they came out
with Star Trek V,

:52:43
and they had this special offer
where you could send

:52:46
for your futuristic
marshmallow dispenser.

:52:48
So I went ahead,
and I sent for this thing,

:52:50
and here we go.
It's still intact.

:52:52
It's, like, mint in a bag.
:52:54
All this stuff has, like,
overtaken my house in such a big way.

:52:57
One of my goals is to actually build,
like, a great big shelf
