Our Star Trek Collection – or, Proof of How Nerdy I REALLY Am | Personal!

This, my friends, is our Star Trek collection. It’s pretty impressive if I do say so myself. We’ve been collecting things for several years now, but we’re not super serious about it. I know better than to surf around on eBay because I WILL find tons of things I want and not be able to say no. 😉 Most of our collection comes from my birthday and Christmas presents to Nate. A few years ago I started getting him almost 100% Star Trek presents for both holidays, and it’s been so much fun (for both of us!). I try really hard to find things that are unique and interesting, mostly looking on Etsy. So, here’s our collection so far — all coming from a combination of online stores, Etsy, thrift shops, Newbury Comics, and gifts from friends & family! I’ve linked to the source whenever possible. About half of these photos were taken by me, but some items I couldn’t find (or were buried in the closet or at Nate’s work), so I grabbed photos from online, too!

We don’t still have these since, ya know, we ate them… but they were awesome! From AllThingsExquisite on Etsy.
