Star Trek: TNG fans can now own their own Starfleet toolkit
By Chad Porto
Star Trek fans who work with tools will want this new piece of memorabilia.
One of the best facets of growing up as a kid in the 90s wasn’t just the glut of great Star Trek series, but the abundance of Star Trek memorabilia. Whether it was action figures, video games, posters, party supplies, you named it, someone had it. It was (usually) officially licensed and a treat for any collector to own.
Fans today can still get unique pieces of memorabilia but they’re a bit more expensive and a bit less common. Cue this new toolkit from Star Trek Unlimited. While it uses Star Trek verbiage in the description, don’t get confused, this is a functioning tool set.
If the toolkit is too big, too pricey or just too “TNG” for your taste, they offer other options. Namely, the Star Trek: TOS Enterprise-multi-tool. It’s only $15.99 and if you don’t have any need for it, it can probably double as a weapon to fend off Klingon attacks.
But probably not.
Now the Next Generation toolkit can be yours!
The price of the tool kit is actually really isn’t all that bad, all things considered. The price before taxes is just $89.99. Most tool kits go from anywhere from $50-$200 depending on what’s inside. A full description from the official website about the kit is below;
