Star Trek and Star Wars fans are notorious collectors. Both tend to collect pop culture items associated with each franchise in a number of ways: gets everything, selects specific items (such as toys) or as a casual collector who buys only what interests them. Regardless of the collectible, Star Trek and Star Wars merchandise is a huge industry bringing in billions of dollars each year. Schiffer Books has three titles both Trek and Wars fans are sure to want to check out.
Ursula Augustin’s Star Trek Collectibles covers everything Star Trek that involves the original series, Next Generation, Deep Space 9 and Voyager. Although the book was written pre-Enterprise is still contains tons of invaluable information, full-color photos and prices for the different types of Star Trek collectibles.
There have been a number of Star Trek toys produced over the years, but one toy company has produced more than all other companies combined. That company is Playmates Toys.The Unauthorized Handbook and Price Guide Star Trek Toys by Playmates, written and compiled by Kelly Hoffman, also includes the original series, Next Generation, Deep Space 9 and Voyager, but it also includes the Star Trek films up through First Contact.
Whether its action figures, ships, dioramas, special editions, weapons, equipment or even Trek TMNT, this book has them all in glorious full-color with prices and stats.
Few books can match the sheer volume of Star Wars memorabilia photos and information than Geoffrey T. Carlton’s new book; The Star Wars Super Collector’s Wish Book-and ‘super’ is just what it is.I have never seen a book that contains so many photos, prices and information about Star Wars than this book. Everything is covered – and I do mean EVERYTHING! Models, tableware, household items, clothing, cards, books, records-you name it, this book has it! Collectors can easily spend hours-days, sifting through its pages and basking in its Star Wars glory. It is a phenomenal book containing massive amounts of information.
