Look at the old Lincoln Enterprises catalog and you'll see more creative stuff marketed to fans in the 70's. I appreciate the attempt, kind of. And no knock to the companies you are contracting with. But fans have been a million times more creative with less technology than CBS Consumer Marketing (that's the problem) is allowing in order to make a buck off of us. We aren't consumers. We are PROMOTERS of your product. Treat us as partners (creatively) and not debit cards. You may be surprised as just how much "stuff" we actually will buy, if there is some smidgen of thought about the actual love we have for this series put into it. After all... Picard's flute sold for $48,000.00 through Christie's. And you can't even play it! How about a replica of THAT? Are the people at CBS insane?
