Yup, crass commercialism reaches into Trekkies' pockets!
Didn't
you buy a lot of bubble-gum packs?
I sure did!
Although I had a lot of the small figures, I never got the JC Penney bridge set.
Did you play this game? We didn't have Vectrex, or any other game systems.
I must confess that when
STII came out on video, I borrowed money from my boss to buy it, paying it back in bits, because Joyce would have gotten mad at me for blowing FORTY BUCKS on a video.

See you Thursday!
