Stephen of Borg 2 Posted October 16, 2008 I'm just curious, what is the most money you have spent on Star Trek related items in a single year? Just guess. This includes collectables, DVDs, video games, books, etc. Everything that has a Trek name on it. That I can think of, I have spent $650 on Trek stuff in a single year. It's not that hard to do since I bought DVDs and stuff like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) My Trek spending has been reduced significantly due to the fact that my basement is overflowing with Trek related items. These days I mostly just buy the dvds of the movies and the series. As for the most I've ever spent in a year, that would be about $1300. That was the year I bought a 1982 Sega Star Trek Arcade machine for $800 and I spent about $500 on misc. items. I actually want to start getting rid of a lot of my Trek stuff just to free up some space. Edited October 16, 2008 by Kor37 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 8 Posted October 17, 2008 Probably the most I've spent in one year is around $200 with that going mostly for DVDs and Hallmark ornaments. I get a lot of Star Trek items as gifts also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted October 17, 2008 The most I have spent on Trek was when the DVD season box sets were releasing, $100 X 28 sets over a few years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crewman Q 0 Posted October 17, 2008 I bought two of the overpriced Voyager box sets in the same year, which came out to about $250, and then there were a couple of other assorted items, so I rounded it to $300. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
v_seven 0 Posted October 17, 2008 I bought the whole TNG series new on DVD a couple of years ago all ath once and that was way over $500.00 U.S. ....then I bought Voyager one year at a time and Enterprise. I still have TNG on VHS from Columbia House ... LOL. I would wait for that tape to come in mail.... What a difference 15 years makes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 29, 2011 I don't really spend on Star Trek "stuff" but I'll include this site in the "stuff" category, so it's over $500 a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RikerChick 5 Posted April 29, 2011 I don't usually spend much but I've spent about $100 making this Horta costume and then $80 for a picture with Leonard Nimoy at Phoenix Comicon so about $200 so far this year. I'm sure I'll buy something at the con when I'm there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted April 29, 2011 I used to spend a lot more on Trek "stuff" than I do now, but most of that was drinking at Quarks. Other than visiting The Experience I probably spent less than $200 total, and that's counting movies and popcorn. The only actual merchandise was The Undiscovered Country, First Contact, Spock vs Q, and a Ferengi School of Business bumper sticker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted April 29, 2011 I did get a Star Trek Happy Meal when TMP was out but I'm pretty sure my parents paid for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted April 29, 2011 Heck, the one convention I went to I didn't even pay for that. I snuck in while they were still getting organized. My dad wasn't as quick as I was and got ambushed by some guards dressed as Klingons demanding he pay full price. The most expensive items I bought that day were some nachos and a Coke that were even more expensive than the bumper sticker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 29, 2011 Depends on which year we are talking about. When Conventions used to come to town, (last one 17 years ago) we'd spend at least $200 per con. Then we paid $100 per season on all the [live action] season sets - $2800+tax. Also upgraded all the movies to Special Editions DVDs. Since then the most we've spent was for our Vegas trip a few years ago, dropped at least a grand total for that one. Last coin we dropped on Trek was with Trek 09. Multiple screenings + BD release.
