Visit pop minded by Hallmark (Booth 1920) at New York Comic-Con this week for your last chance to get the Maxine Star Trek Cosplay ornament. It will be sold in limited quantities; only 75 (25 per day) were sold at Star Trek Mission New York last month. I would expect more to be available at the larger New York Comic-Con. The ornament will retail for $10 at the convention abe has been showing up on the secondary market anywhere from $55 to $129.
Also at last month’s convention at the Hallmark booth was a display of every Hallmark Star Trek ornament produced. Surely, this booth will be on display again at New York Comic-Con.

Hallmark’s latest Star Trek ornament is beginning to show up on eBay after being first made available at last week’s Star Trek: Mission New York convention.
Image from trekcore.com http://trekcore.com/blog/2016/09/mission-report-star-treks-new-york-convention/2/
Word is they only made 25 ornaments available per day for the three-day event. The Maxine ornament will be available for the last time at next month’s New York Comic-Con. The biggest surprise is that the ornament is not a Keepsake ornament but “branded” with the Hallmark name. If you are looking to pick up the new Star Trek Maxine Cosplay ornament it is currently selling on eBay from $55-$129.
”…and exclusive ornaments from Hallmark, which sold out quickly each day of the convention. Of the two Hallmark exclusives, the U.S.S. Enterprise was awesome, while the Maxine figure was OK.” –Hollywood Soapbox

Tweets are coming out from Hallmark at Star Trek Mission New York today and visitors to the booth are getting a walk down memory lane. Hallmark is displaying all their Star Trek ornaments dating back to 1991.
Star Trek Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Gallery
“In 1991, Hallmark brought the 23rd century to our Christmas trees with the Starship Enterprise Keepsake Ornament in celebration of Star Trek’s 25th anniversary. Instantly popular with fans, dozens of Keepsake Ornaments inspired by Star Trek television shows and feature films would follow. On the 50th anniversary of the original series, we present this tour through the 26-year partnership with Star Trek and Hallmark.”
Sculpter Lynn Norton was even there signing ornaments!
Star Trek Mission New York opens tomorrow for its three day event. September 2 – 4, 2016 Javits Center • New York! It will be the first opportunity to get the Maxine Star Trek cosplay ornament and your second chance to get the Enterprise pilot repaint ornament. Look for these two ornaments to flood eBay in the coming days. Both ornaments will be available one last time at New York Comic-Con next month.
Hallmark is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Star Trek with two exclusive ornaments that any Trekkie will want to add to their collection; the first featuring Maxine, the star of Hallmark’s “Crabby Road” cartoons, dressed in her finest Star Trek cosplay and the second is U.S.S. Enterprise Keepsake Ornament. Don’t miss out on these exclusives only at the Hallmark booth on the Star Trek: Mission New York Show Floor.
Perhaps we will see the rest of Hallmark’s 2017 Star Trek lineup previewed tomorrow. Stay tuned!
“Star Trek: Mission New York is the ultimate destination for Star Trek fans, filled with interactive exhibits, exclusive merchandise, celebrity guests, panels, screenings and much more. Fueled by a new movie in July 2016 and an upcoming television series in 2017, this will be the not-to-miss Star Trek event of the year!
In collaboration with CBS Consumer Products, Star Trek: Mission New York provides exclusive access to content, personalities, and news about past and upcoming films and television. Star Trek: Mission New York will be an immersive experience featuring props and replicas from the TV shows and films, exclusive screenings, celebrity guests, panels featuring creators and film stars, and exclusive merchandise in the Official Store.
Star Trek: Mission New York will take place on September 2-4, 2016. The Star Trek: Mission New York Exhibit Hall runs the following hours:
Friday, September 2, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Saturday, September 3, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Sunday, September 4, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Note that the Star Trek: Mission New York Exhibit Hall closes nightly at 7:00 PM (and 5:00 PM on Sunday), but special events could continue until 10:00 PM or later on Friday and Saturday nights.
Star Trek: Mission New York is held at the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan. The Javits Center is located at 655 West 34th Street.”
This will be the second of three conventions this year where the 2016 U.S.S. Enterprise Pilot Repaint exclusive ornament will be sold. It will also be the first time the convention exclusive 2016 Maxine Star Trek Cosplay ornament will be available.
We may also get the reveal of the 2017 Star Trek scene and character ornaments. Fingers crossed!
With Star Trek: Mission New York coming up this week it is expected we will see the 2017 Hallmark Star Trek ornament previews that were missing for the first time in years at Comic-Con in San Diego. Due to a shared booth with LucasFilm Hallmark only revealed future Star Wars ornaments.
Since Comic-Con it has been revealed that the 2017 Star Trek ship ornament will be the U.S.S. Franklin from this summer’s Star Trek Beyond. We still have not had an announcement of Hallmark’s Star Trek character or scene ornaments. I fully expect we will see the rest of the 2017 lineup at Star Trek Mission New York coming up September 2-4 at the Javits Center.
It is likely that we will get the first of a Star Trek – The Next Generation Legends series since 2016’s Chekov was the last of TOS’s Legend series. So look for a new Captain Picard hanging from your tree in 2017.
What Star Trek scene should we expect next year? The answer is a little less clear. Assuming we will get a scene from The Original Series there are a few iconic scenes to choose from. Here is my list of sixteen classics scenes and the odds that Hallmark reproduces them with an ornament. Place your bets!
“Space Seed”
Odds – 3:1
“Spock’s Brain”
Odds – 3:1
“The Naked Time”
Odds 3:1
“A Private Little War”

The 1992 Hallmark Galileo ornament was the only Star Trek ornament released that year. It was also lucky enough to have its very own Point-of-Sale display. A 15.5″ x 18″ x 11.5″ deep box contains a 1992 Hallmark Christmas ornament talking store display. The 4″ long “Galileo” lighted Shuttle orbits a moon-like quarter sphere on a metal rod. Push-button on the base of sphere allows one to here message from Mr.Spock.
Unfortunately, the first of two dates has passed but if you’re a Keepsake Ornament Club member you still have a chance to get some convention “exclusive” ornaments on October 10, 2016.

UPDATE: 02.21.19
“We love being in this community for years and years and years, but we made the tough decision that it’s time to retire,” said David Hamrick, curator of the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Museum.
Retirement means that The Party Shop at 3418 Lake City Highway in Warsaw will close in three to four weeks. The Party Shop has housed the ornament museum since 1996.
“So, right now, we’ve actually had two different national museums that have contacted us inquiring about possibly acquiring the collection,” Hamrick said. “Yeah, honestly, I don’t see it staying here in Kosciusko County, but stranger things have happened, I guess.”
The challenge now is to keep the collection intact, keep it available to the public after the store closes and keep the memories flowing.
The Party Shop
3418 Lake City Hwy.
Warsaw, IN 46580

Open 7 Days a Week!

Sun: Noon-5PM
“This priceless collection is on display in over 30 oak cabins with glass fronts. It’s helpful to see the ornaments in a price guide, but when you can actually see every ornament made in person it is amazing. One of the first things you’ll see when you start with the early years 1973-1979 is that the vast majority of the ornaments are glass balls and the amount of designs offered was minimal. Over the last couple of years there have been over 300 designs per year.
The Party Shop does NOT sell any of the ornaments within the Museum. We do have another room full of other Back Issue Hallmark Ornaments in stock from present to 1973. We also have a variety of other Hallmark collectibles, from Merry Miniatures, Miniature Ornaments, puzzles & more. If we do not have an ornament you are looking for, we will try to find it for you. We buy sell & trade Ornaments with collectors all over the world. We have shipped Ornaments to Australia, Japan, Europe & beyond. There are people who enjoy collecting & hunting for the Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments all year. If you are looking for a fun trip for your family, church group or bus group contact me to arrange a tour. We are easy to find located on US 30 in Warsaw, IN. We are in Northern Indiana between Ft. Wayne & South Bend.”

Big news from San Diego Comic Con! The new Star Trek series has a name and it is Star Trek: Discovery (STD for short – oops). With the new series comes a new flagship, the U.S.S. Discovery NCC-1031. Look for a Discovery ornament maybe as soon as next year since Paramount will want to promote their new series as much as possible.
“Discovery is so intrinsic as a concept to the philosophy that is Star Trek and it felt like it was a beautiful way to acknowledge that spirit and also… what Star Trek has provided for me is an inspiration on where we’re going as a species and a planet… and it has given me so much hope for a better world because we need it in the world we’re living [in] right now. We need curiosity and we need inspiration and we need to find better versions of ourselves and we need to discover better versions of ourselves.” – Brian Fuller
“For hardcore Trekkies, the design of the ship is both comfortingly familiar, and surprisingly retro. And not exactly retro in a 1960’s or a 1990’s kind of way, but instead, in a pop-culture alternate-dimension kind of way. The U.S.S. Discovery is a throwback to an alternate dimension of the 1970s, when the fledgling Trek and Wars franchises blended together in concept art. The design for the U.S.S. Discovery on the new show is almost identical to designs that Ralph McQuarrie, the late and famous Star Wars concept designer, sketched for the original U.S.S. Enterprise back in 1976. Back then, Paramount was planning to reboot Trek on TV with a show called Star Trek: Phase II .” Read more at…https://www.inverse.com/article/18731-star-trek-discovery-star-wars-influence.
Unfortunately, Hallmark did not preview their 2017 Star Trek line up at San Diego Comic Con. It seems they are sharing a booth with LucasFilm and could only display LucasFilm products. Star Wars fans were able to preview 5-6 of next year’s Star Wars ornament.
It hasn’t been confirmed but it is probably safe to assume we will get our Star Trek ornament previews at Star Trek: Mission New York, scheduled Sept. 2-4.
