We love you Mr Spock

[cjefferys]

Very nice tribute, it hasn't really sunk in for me yet that he's gone.

That Spock helmet is amazing!

So much merchandising! I have my fair share of Spock stuff too, including a Knickerbocker stuffed doll. (Have you hugged your Spock today?)

What kills me though is that you know some shiesters are gonna take full advantage of this tragedy, and sell whatever Spock stuff they were already selling on Ebay and jack up the prices. I didn't get a chance to buy the "Devil In the Dark" ornament from Hallmark at Christmas time. Now I may never be able to afford it!

Yesterday's loss of Leonard Nimoy felt strangely personal to me, perhaps because as someone smarter than me said "It feels like we lost a friend".

Nimoy's portrayal of Mr Spock has always been a topic of conversation here at PlaidStallions, especially all the wonderful Star Trek merchandise that we 70s kids got.

Toy makers such as Remco, Mego, AHI and others recognized Nimoy as the most recognizable factor of the show and his visage appeared on thousands of items during the course of our childhood, here are some of my favourites.
