Starfleet Command Badge

I decided to pick up a box of Kellogg's Corn Pops yesterday since it was on sale. I did not get the toy until this morning before I mowed the grass. I lucked out and found the Starfleet Command Badge. I only need the Starfleet Science and Klingon Empire badges to complete the set.

Kellogg's Star Trek Beam-Up Badges Ceral Boxes

Here are pictures finally of the only Kellogg's Froot Loops and Rice Krispies cereal boxes that I broke down and got for the Star Trek Beam-Up Badges (click for larger pictures):

Romulan Empire Badge

I found this Romulan Empire badge in a box of Froot Loops as part of Kellogg's Star Trek beam-up badge premium toys collection and emits a green beam of light when the center is pressed:

Now I only need three more to finish the set.

IDW Publishing First Looks Includes Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Wow, I almost forgot that there was never a comic adaptation of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan but one is finally getting made twenty-five years later thanks to IDW Publishing. You can preview the cover and pages at IDW First Looks at Comics Continuum along with several other titles.

Star Trek Beam-Me Up Badge

I like Star Trek much better than Star Wars but I cannot see the new movie on the big screen due to finances. However, I just had to get a box of Kellogg's Rice Krispies so I can obtain a Star Trek Beam-Me Up Badge. I like the cereal and I like the toy even better. The set has five badges: three Starfleet (command, engineering and science), one Klingon and one Romulan. I managed to obtain the engineering beam-me up badge that lights up when you press a button on the side.

Here are some pictures of my Star Trek Beam-Me Up Badge:

Thrift Store Finds: Star Trek Books

I actually found a whole bunch of Star Trek books at a local thrift store this morning but I could only pick up two (I had to buy medicine yesterday and that left me real short of cash). The ones that I picked up had to do with Marvel Comics and each were fifty cents. Marvel Illustrated Books: Star Trek is from January, 1982 and has three comic stories while Star Trek The Next Generation and X-Men: Planet X is from May 1998 and is an actual novel. Here are pictures of the front and back covers:

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the First Lady of Star Trek, passed away on December 18, 2008 after battling leukemia. She was 76 and I will always remember her as Nurse Chapel and the voice of the Enterprise computer.

Blog Alert: Siskoid's Blog of Geekery

I used to read Legion of Super-Heroes from DC Comics back in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Dawnstar, Shadow Lass, Princess Projecta Timberwolf and Wildfire were my perhaps my favorites. The LSH is the subject of several posts at Siskoids's Blog of Geekery along with Star Trek and other science fiction goodies.
