Via io9: Star Trek toys are hitting the market. Barbie has their own line of Starfleet Academy dolls, and Playmate brings a totally awesome transporter to beam up whatever toy you want.
The Enterprise bridge is going for a mere $25, which means you can get two, and role-play with your friends. Both the transporter and the bridge are from Playmate Toys, and the transporter comes with a 3¾-inch Scotty doll (of course). The Playmate Toy line also has small dolls of the entire original crew all for $9-$10.
I think you may have just blown your street cred here, J.
May I instead recommend a product much more in line with your blog:

I'm waiting for the tricorder that's coming out in May on Amazon. Geeks rule.

Well, as fun as having a can of uranium ore on my desk would be, I might pass. But you're right, the Star Trek bridge might be a little under my age (adjusted for geekness). I just want to walk the Kirk figure up to the screen and shout, "KHAAAANNNNN!!!!"
Maybe I'll set my sights higher (go here).
