‘Trek’ fans, want Picard’s chair? It’s for sale
LAS VEGAS — “Star Trek” lovers looking for Enterprise chairs, Starfleet uniforms or a model Klingon Bird of Prey can seek out new life for the dismantled pieces of a closed Las Vegas attraction based on the famous franchise.
Chief Executive Officer Alec Peters of auctioneer Propworx Inc. says fans can buy any of roughly 1,000 items from Star Trek: The Experience at a warehouse sale Saturday in Las Vegas.
The attraction based on the beloved television series and movies closed in 2008 after a 10-year run.
Peters says it’s sad to see the items go. But he says fans will have a fun opportunity to buy items used in the exhibit.
Among the items for sale are three large models of spaceships, including the U.S.S. Enterprise A and the U.S.S. Voyager.
