Geeks and magnets stick together!

A parcel van turned up this morning with my brand new "Star Trek" Mix 'n' Match Magnetic Adventure Set from Ata-Boy Inc, via the ThinkGeek mail order website.

Similar to the old Colorforms sets of the 60s, only using magnetic material, the reversible background allows Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Kor the Klingon ("Errand of Mercy") or the Gorn Captain ("Arena") to play out scenes on the Enterprise bridge or the iconic Vasquez Rocks!



I'm realising there's some potential for some cross-pollination with other magnets on my fridge...


"Mmmm, pointed ears, but the tricorder readings don't register him as Vulcan."

Kang in da house!

Kor to Kang: "I shall set you free, we shall have our revenge... and it shall be glorious!"

My latest "Star Trek" action figure, via a US penpal, due to its supposed rarity! This one was a US Toys R Us exclusive figure. I had one ordered from the website, but orders went unfilled while the short-packed Kangs were turning up on stores' pegs, but only at a ratio of one Kang per case of figures.
