A Look Back at Star Trek in the Hallmark Dream Books

Ornament collectors everywhere countdown to the day the new Hallmark Dream Book arrives in July. It is the true start of the Christmas season!

The first Star Trek ornament debuted in the 1991 Dream Book but was left out from 1992-1994. Trek ornaments would appear in the catalog every year once they returned in 1995. Below are all of the Dream Book pages that Star Trek ornaments have graced. I have substituted print advertisements for the years they were absent in the early 90s.

Where is the Star Trek Water Globe?

In April, at Star Trek Mission: Chicago, the PopMinded booth displayed the upcoming 2022 Trek merchandise which included a Star Trek Transporter Water Globe. The display showed a release date of August in photos posted by TrekCore.

The Transporter Chamber was displayed again at the PopMinded both at San Diego Comic-Con. It is said to have light and sound with a retail of $99.99.

My inbox has been hit up more and more as the month has progressed with inquiries on the Trek water globe. Unfortunately, as we near the end of August, there are still no signs of it. Whether it has been delayed to the fall, pushed back to 2023 or scrubbed completely is still to be discovered.

Update on Last Month’s Defiant eBay Auction

A 2011 Defiant ornament went up for auction in July that had a few red flags. The seven day auction was originally launched with a $350 “Buy it now” option. In less than 9 hours it had received three bids before it was listed as sold, six days prematurely, for $51. It seems the ornament was relisted on eBay by the original seller and sold for $299.


Well, I received an update today from the would-be buyer that explains how everything went down.

“This was a rip off. I bought the ornament from Nacho at first he ended the auction because he had a buy now at $350 so he ended it I paid $51 then relisted it for $299 so I was the same buyer both totaled $350 which was the buy now price. I waited 2 weeks and he never shipping it. I opened a case he then shipped it but it was not a 2011 Enterprise in fact it was a part for a RV. I don’t believe he ever had it. I got all my money back and left bad feedback warning others to stay away!”

Fortunately, this buyer was able to get his money back. We appreciate him filling us in on the details.
