Yesterday, while rummaging through my closet in search of the Star Trek: The Motion Picture tie-in novelization for my series on that picture's 45th anniversary release date, I uncovered an unopened plastic model kit indirectly related to the book I was looking for.
The price sticker, as I had already guessed without looking closely, was from "Leisure World". This would have been the store in downtown Toronto, as that (now gone) location was where I picked up a few things hobby related.
AMT's "U.S.S. Enterprise Space Ship Model Kit" was a popular item. Released a couple of months after Star Trek premiered in September of 1966, it went on to sell over 100,000 units in the show's first season alone. I came along a few years later and built more than one before I exited my teens.
What other morsels of goodness await me as I journey through some unexplored space?
