Star Trek Collectibles

My older brothers were big Star Trek fans. They were collecting sci fi collectibles before it was really all that acceptable to do. Most of the kids I knew had a few Star Trek collectibles when they were young, but my brothers took it to another level. They had their own star trek phazors, figurines, and costumes. One of them had a model of the Starship Enterprise, and the other had a Klingon Bird of Prey. They would always stage mock battles with these ships, incorporating whole story lines from the original series.

Knight Rider Car

Anyone who has watched the original series with David Hasselhoff remembers the Knight Rider car Kitt. That original car was a Firebird, and quite a beauty at that. Perhaps its most distinctive quality, apart from the pedantic and fussy talking computer, was the strip of red lights across the front. They would all flash in sequence and make different sounds whenever the camera did a close-up of it.
