Sunny Smurfday

The things you find in the yard on a gorgeous, sunny Autumn Sunday...

#7

I scanned some new Star Trek movie tie-in stuff this morning. My overseas Trek colleagues were asking about Australian stuff:

Trek mobile

Trek drinksTrek drinks

Australian mobile advertising the "Star Trek" (2009) movie tie-in aluminium water bottle from Hoyts cinemas. Lenticular plastic movie poster drink cup and lid from the Greater Union cinemas. (There was also a matching cardboard popcorn satchel.)

Trek figures
