I put it together, painted it, you could clearly see brush strokes on all the surfaces, I loved it. My very own USS Enterprise bridge, captains chair and everything, good times!

Had one! But it always frustrated me because it omitted the part of the bridge that I was dying to get a look at.

Same. Had that one, the shuttle, the big kits for both the Enterprise and the Klingon battlecruiser (which, when they were not in my hands, locked in epic combat for the fate of the universe, were both hanging on loops of fishing line from the ceiling in my room). Got the Romulan cruiser too, when that came out later. https://culttvman.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/mmottent07-600x600.jpg https://culttvman.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/sanderkling01.jpg https://culttvman.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/amtrombop1zzz.jpg

I was a "space kid" who also built the 3 foot tall Apollo rocket (with separate and removable command module AND lunar lander), and the big model of the lunar lander with the grey plastic moon display base.

Although I must admit, at 9 I didn't do nearly as good a job putting them together and painting them as these guys did. But I had fun and they were the stuff that dreams were made of.

Good times.

When you date yourself, do you put out on the first date?

It’s an expression but I do appreciate where you’re going with this, live long and prosper, but not too much, take it easy once in awhile.

What was the best decade?

[–] • 2 pts

The 70’s when the reruns took hold and captured us all. We wanted more Star Trek. When the movie finally came out, we loved it. It was Star Trek! Never mind that it was an awful and slow movie, we were enamored. It was Star Trek. I can still watch it today and clearly remember how exciting it was at that time, still love that movie.

You have to watch the LaserDisc version for the full effect. The later DVD runs of the first movie removed that gawdawful computer voice you heard in the shuttlebay during the opening scenes.

Do you know if any clips of the voice exist on the tubes? If not, don't bother looking for me... I'll figure it out if I can. That's some weird obscure shit I want to see!

I have an extensive LaserDisc collection. I actually have an unsealed Star Trek The Movie LaserDisc. I’ve watched it on dvd and cable, but I’ll unseal it and watch it on my last working laserdisc player. Thanks!

When I saw the motion picture for the first time in the 90's as a kid, never though it was bad, slow, or even boring, as most would say. When I first read a review of the movie stating as such, I got triggered. What?? There was all kinds of weird and interesting shit, we got a VERY good look at the Enterprise, and mother fucking V-GER... shit damn this movie was great in my opinion!

Fast forward 30 years, they've completely destroyed the franchise. Hate Nu-Trek with every fiber of my being.

I more meant you being an older guy, which decade to live in, although I definitely prefer TNG

1969 to 1978 was perfect except for that stupid war. Socially the music was great, the protests were tame, nobody was being assassinated overtly. Skateboards were becoming popular, rock music was magnificent. Everything went down hill after disco came on the scene

Think like a kike for a minute. Imagine how much that would be worth if you never opened it.

I opened it, built it, painted it, enjoyed it, good times!

PS I destroyed all my original Hot wheels cars that would be worth a fortune today, I did not play that way. I had fun.
