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
