Retro Trek Bridge on QVC?

[Sideshow Spock]

Coming up this Sunday night at 10pm PT (1am ET), QVC will be doing a one hour "Star Trek Universe" special. Among the items that have just popped up under a search for Star Trek at qvc.com is DST/EMCE's Retro Bridge..

So maybe the playset will be making a TV appearance!

Here's Trek Movie's article on the show:

I'm recording it.

Reminder that the show is tonight.

Yep, I'm watching it now. The Bridge is onscreen right now but I'm rewinding my DVR to see the beginning and then off to bed.

$54.00 + 7.47 shipping. It is $60.00 on the Diamond website.

I swung by their web site before I came here.

The 2 hosts are not "experts" and they are pretty cheesy. I haven't watched this much of QVC et al before. It is probably normal amount of clueless, insincere cheese.

The segment with the bridge is now online:

Highlight and play the VIDEOS box to the left, above the playset pic.

No mention of Mego, but at least the concept of it being a 70s reproduction was touched on, including the guy's personal story. He seemed genuinely concerned/annoyed that the stickers hadn't been applied to the show prop

[Sideshow Spock]

Wow, new Mego being shilled on TV, and nobody cares, huh? Tragic.

It was pretty funny to watch those two stumble through the stuff they didn't know about Star Trek but pretend they did.

The spit take for me was them selling the Deforest Kelley autograph and first saying Jimmy Doohan died the same year and then the other corrected him to a couple years (it was actually 5). And then they said Walter Koenig was dead(!).

very cool.... and this will be a special production just for qvc too...maybe it will generate some interest in the figures

[Sideshow Spock]

Huh, I was wondering about that. I found it curious that they weren't expecting delivery until the end of June..

Even QVC can't match your prices, Rick!
