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....

re: A Trek MMORPG could be a lot of fun.
I forgot: they did make two Transformers games: one based on the cartoon, and another based on the recent movie -- the movie-based video game was sort of fun, but I didn't really click with it.
Now G.I. Joe would be a great game, maybe with multiple-member assault teams and squad tactics. Or just first-person, with unlockable alternate characters. Too many combat genres to simulate for most game companies, I would imagine: ground-based, naval/air, ninja.
