27. TREKKIN" WITH THE STARS

Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) and pointy eared Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) are ready for space action where no man has gone before! Vintage 1974, made by MEGO. Four more action figures from the Star Trek TV Series were produced by the renowned toy maker: Scottie, Lt. Uhura, Dr. McCoy and a Klingon. I was lucky to find this pair, in near mint condition and still in their blister packs. A quick search on ebay yielded a similar mint Capt. Kirk figure priced at $145! Of course, I paid much, much less for these two. I got these from Hake's Americana and Collectibles, a mail bidding collectible shop that preceded online auctions by many years. So you could say I had quite a headstart. Such are voyages of a star flea market trader!
