The Search for Stuff
Today I am feeling a bit foolish so I have decided to go on a bit of a quest for Star Trek things. I hadn't visited this particular antique mall before, but I knew it had some star trek things, one of the booths owners would post some of the contents on facebook marketplace, which I how I found out about this one at all.
There's a couple things I like to look out for when I go to antique malls. Anything Star Trek related is great, but I mostly go hunting for Star Trek books, and I prioritize anything TOS related. One of my grails are the Search for Spock limited edition Taco Bell glass cups. I have one of these already, and there are four total.
I was delighted to find one of these cups almost immediately when I came in. It was just sitting there, almost waiting for me.
Interestingly enough this was the only Star Trek thing I found in this booth, so I had to keep looking. I thought to check facebook again to find the specific booth number, but reception was terrible and it just wouldn't load. I was on my own. (≖_≖ )
This antique mall was huge too, much bigger than my local one. Most of the booths were the standard affair, but I found a couple that had collections of old TNG action figures. But my bias is TOS, so I had to keep looking.
I eventually found what I was looking for.
The sight of it nearly brought tears to my eyes. It was so beautiful. They had so much cool stuff. I wanted to buy all of it lmao. Some of the things I did already have, like the Kirk and Spock Playmates action figures (you can see kirk in the bottom right corner), but so much of it was new to me. No SFS glasses, alas, but I still got a lot of stuff.
The chair cape thing is dumb but I wanted it for my Star Trek themed office lol. Thats where the cup is going too, to hold pens and things.
The buttons I'm especially excited for, they're perfect for my Spirk Ita bag. Which I need to update at this point, the bag I have is too small for all the things I want to put in it. Kind of a shame honestly, this one is perfectly tricorder-sized. I have another Ita bag coming in the mail that should be suitable though, I'll post when it arrives :3
