For the geek who has everything: CBS Consumer Products announced that it will sell a full-size, operational replica of the chair piloted by Capt. James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek TV show. And it'll only set you back $2,000.

The officially licensed product features a working swivel design, light-up controls and sound effects from the series (intercom hail, photon torpedoes, etc.).

The chair also issues snippets of dialogue from the show, including the famous "Space: The final frontier" prologue and William Shatner's voice uttering such deathless phrases as "Lt. Uhura, open a channel to all decks" and "Kirk to engineering: Scotty, report!"

The chair will be available online and at retail outlets in time for the holidays.

Yeah, I heard about this.  Pretty soon you'll be able to buy the whole bridge!  Now that would be cool!

Why buy one Rico when you can make your own?  ;)

I thought you already did that Rick - or was that one of the consoles ?  Heck, all you need is some plywood and black paint.  That thing looks so uncomfortable.  I think Janeway has the best chair out of everyone.  Once again, the FEmales get all the breaks.

I'd still like one, two grand though, hmmmmmm
