In which I talk about my deprived childhood.

Yes indeed, deprived. Truly, utterly deprived. Deprived because my childhood didn't have Trek toys anywhere near as cool as this phaser and communicator

I mean, given how obsessively I played with my Trek toys at age eight, I probably would have had a complete psychotic break with cool looking toys.  And to get them I probably would have had to go on a multi-state killing spree to get the money and boxtops.  But it would be worth it.

As for now...now I am sadly, too old and too mature for such toys.  I have responsibilities and expenses- heck I have to monitor my food purchases now.  I would need a major mid-life crisis in order to be able to justify those toys.  Though I could point out to RxM that they would be cheaper than a 21 year-old model and a Porsche.  I think.

Hmm.  I'm feeling some middle-age stress coming on here....

Personally, I am dreaming of a cellphone the size and shape of a gold-plated pocketwatch, on a gold chain. I know they can.
