Why Star Trek: Discovery matters to collectors
Star Trek collecting has always been about the ships as much as the crews, and Discovery gave the franchise a new fleet to work with while reaching back to designs going all the way to 1966. The Bird of Prey in particular is one of the oldest silhouettes in the franchise, and seeing it rendered as a display model is the sort of thing Trek collectors have been buying in metal and resin for forty years.
Key issues and milestones
- Balance of Terror (1966) - The original series episode that introduced the Romulans and their Bird of Prey.
- Star Trek: Discovery premieres (2017) - Star Trek returns to television, and the USS Discovery brings the experimental spore drive with it.
- Discovery jumps to the 32nd century (2020) - Season three moves the ship nine hundred years forward, the largest time jump in franchise history.
- Discovery concludes (2024) - Five seasons end, having launched the current run of Star Trek series that followed it.
The USS Discovery carries the registry NCC-1031, a deliberate nod to Section 31, the covert Starfleet division that turns out to matter a great deal to the show's plot.
Collecting Star Trek: Discovery through the years
Starship models are the backbone of Star Trek collecting, going back to AMT's plastic kits in the 1960s and running through decades of die-cast, resin and licensed display models. Registry accuracy, decal quality and stand design are what collectors argue about, and a model with the wrong nacelle detailing gets noticed immediately. Screen-used filming miniatures from the original series and the films sit in the museum tier, with the most famous examples held by the Smithsonian.
Star Trek: Discovery on VeVe
VeVe's Star Trek catalogue centres on ship models rather than characters, including the Romulan Bird of Prey alongside other vessels. Ships are a natural fit for full-scale AR, since a starship at display size and a starship at actual size are very different objects. Releases are scheduled drops with tiered rarities.
