Diamond Select Toys was active at Christie's three-day 40th Anniversary Star Trek auction, which brought in more than $7.1 million in sales.  DST purchased items from every era of Star Trek, including key costumes from the Star Trek films, props from the various Star Trek television series, and even large pieces of the Enterprise.

 

The acquisition of the Star Trek memorabilia makes perfect sense for Diamond Select Toys, which nabbed the license for Star Trek action figures and toys in 2005 (see 'Diamond Select Gets Star Trek').  DST plans to display the items at several conventions and trade shows in the coming months, and is also planning a special promotion involving the items; but don't be surprised if a number of these Star Trek items end up in Geppi's Entertainment Museum (see 'Overwhelming').
