Replacement Tree Topper Remotes Available Through Hallmark
It should be reassuring to know that if you lose or break your Star Trek Tree Topper remote it won’t be a complete disaster. You will be able to fire up the Enterprise and Mirror Universe crew with a replacement remote. Keep in mind it will not be replaced with the Star Trek delta symbol remote that came with the topper originally but with a festive green tree that resembles a pine car air freshener that you would hang from your rear view mirror.

2020 Star Trek Storytellers Hanging Around
Kevin Dilmore has announced that the 2020 Hallmark Star Trek Storyteller ornaments will be available until the entire series has been produced. This means Kirk, Sulu, Uhura and the Enterprise tree topper will be available to purchase in 2021 and 2022.
We still have Spock, McCoy, Scotty and Chekov to be released over the next two years. Although there hasn’t been any official announcement, it is likely we will see Spock and Scotty in 2021 and McCoy and Chekov in the final year.
Whichever ornaments are released next year they will be available in both 2021 and 2022. There is still no word if the 2021-2022 Star Trek releases will be exclusively Storytellers or if we will see other Star Trek ornaments. With all the new Star Trek series that have and will be coming out it is hard to imagine we won’t see something from Picard or Lower Decks.

The current price of $119.99 is on the high side of the typical $80-$120 the exclusives typically fetch this early in the game. The Tribble will be made available originally at $20.

I can repair it. Will look exactly like you send it to me.

NOTE* – repair works about 80% of the time. At times, the component bad is not fixable.
IF I CAN NOT GET THE SOUND WORKING AT ALL, YOU GET A FULL REFUND MINUS $3 FOR THE RETURN SHIPPING!!
So far every repair I have done, it fully works on an older mini light set but not everyone of them worked properly on the Hallmark Legacy power cord, so I can not guarantee yours will work on the Legacy Cord. Do not know why, but my guess is not enough power.
So if your going to power yours using the hallmark legacy power cord only, do not use this repair service.

international buyers, pay for return shipping costs
Ship me only the ornament, no box or paperwork.

Classic Hallmark Star Trek Commercials Revisited (1992-1995)
1992 Galileo Commercial
Leonard Nimoy portrayed Lt. Spock for nearly 50 years and in 1992 he recorded a special holiday message from Spock for use within Hallmark’s Shuttlecraft Galileo ornament. That same year, Nimoy appeared as himself in a television commercial for the ornament where he gives the famous Vulcan salute.
- Leonard Nimoy: ”Excuse me. I’m interested in the new collectors ornament from Hallmark.”
- Hallmark Employee: “Ahh…the shuttle craft Galileo from the starship Enterprise.”
- Leonard Nimoy: “Precisely.”
- Hallmark Employee: “You know? It lights up when you plug it in. And listen…”
- Spock Ornament Recording: “Shuttle craft to Enterprise. Spock here. Happy holidays. Live long and prosper.”
- Leonard Nimoy: “Fascinating.”
- Voiceover: “For a store in your sector now carrying the Star Trek ornament call 1-800-HALLMARK.”
- Hallmark Employee: ”Live long and prosper, right?”
- Leonard Nimoy: “No, I’ll take five.“
1993 Enterprise D Commercial
In 1993, Hallmark aired a television commercial featuring Patti Yasutakein the role of Nurse Alyssa Ogawa, who was seen questioning the shipboard computer and then replicating a USS Enterprise-D Keepsake ornament. Patti Yasutake played Nurse Alyssa Ogawa in 16 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and in Star Trek Generations and Star Trek: First Contact.
Majel Barrett-Roddenberry provided the voice of the computer. Majel, the “First Lady of Star Trek”, famously played the Trek roles of Number One, Nurse Chapel, M’Ress, Lwaxana Troi and the voice of most onboard computer interfaces throughout the series.
Nurse Ogawa: “Computer, access the new Keepsake Magic Ornament from Hallmark.”- Ship Computer/Replicator: “Accessing U.S.S. Enterprise, a collectible ornament accurately representing the the Galaxy Class starship. Ornament carries Earth date 1-9-9-3 and illuminates in a realistic manner.”

- Ship Computer/Replicator: “Replications are copies. Only Hallmark carries authentic Keepsake ornaments.”
- Nurse Ogawa: “Suggest solution.”
- Ship Computer/Replicator: “Call 1-800-HALLMARK for store nearest you.”
1994 Klingon Bird of Prey Commercial
Hallmark’s television commercial for the 1994 Klingon Bird-of-Prey ornament featured Robert O’Reilly in the role of Gowron, commanding the bridge of a Klingon ship. His raucous Klingon language pitch was subtitled in English.
Robert O’Reilly appeared in the Star Trek franchise for over ten years primarily in his recurring role on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Chancellor Gowron, the leader of the Klingon Empire.
O’Reilly made his first appearance in the Star Trek franchise with an appearance in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Manhunt”and his last as the character Kago-Darr in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode “Bounty”.
Marc Okrand, creator of the Klingon language, provided the language for the commercial. He is the author of three books about Klingons – The Klingon Dictionary, The Klingon Way and Klingon for the Galactic Traveler, as well as two audio-courses: Conversational Klingon and Power Klingon.
- Gowron (speaking Klingonese): “Greetings! In our many battles we have fought with honor and achieved…victory! So to celebrate I have gotten you all a gift. It’s a Klingon Bird of Prey Ornament.”
- Klingon #1 (speaking Klingonese): “It looks so real.”
- Klingon #2 (speaking Klingonese): “It even has working lights.”
- Voiceover: “Hallmark introduces the exclusive Klingon Keepsake Ornament. Call 1-800-HALLMARK for a Gold Crown Store near you.”
- Klingon #1 (speaking Klingonese): ”That was really nice of him.”
- Klingon #2 (speaking Klingonese): “Yeah, we should get him a thank you card.“
1995 Romulan Warbird Commercial
Martha Hackett appeared as the female Romulan officer. Martha auditioned for the role of Jadzia Dax in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but lost out to Terry Farrell. She was cast as a member of the Terellian alien species in the finale of Star Trek: The Next Generation, “All Good Things…”. She appeared on Deep Space Nine as the Romulan Sub Commander T’Rul in the two part episode “The Search” in season three and starred as Seska in thirteen episodes of the television series Star Trek: Voyager.
- Hallmark Employee: “May I help…you.”
- Sub-commander: “You are aboard the Imperial Warbird Khazara. You are here to explain this.”
- Hallmark Employee: “Oh…the new Hallmark Star Trek Keepsake Magic ornament?”
- Female Romulan Officer: “Pirated from the Romulan Empire!”
- Male Romulan Officer: “Sub-commander, it lights up!”
- Sub-commander: “Tell us what you know.”
- Hallmark Employee: “Oh…well, the Romulan Warbird ornament is at Gold Crown Stores for a limited time. You should get yours soon.”
- Voiceover: “Call 1-800-HALLMARK for the store nearest you.”
- Hallmark Employee: “You guys in town for a Star Trek convention?”
