Once again I picked up Starlog's Official Poster Magazine for the latest Star Trek film.

ST:TSFS Poster Magazine
In addition to the official movie magazine, I also ordered the official poster magazine for Star Trek III. It contained ten "giant" colour posters (shown on the cover) on five double-sided sheets, as well as a few pages of articles within. As with the movie magazine, this was ordered on 29 July 1984 and it arrived in the mail on 28 August 1984.

TOS Posters
One of the first Star Trek items I owned was a TOS poster featuring head shots of Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, and Mirror Spock, along with a shot of the Enterprise surrounded by three Klingon cruisers and a central medium shot of Spock with phaser in front of a shuttlecraft.
The shot above is the faded and crinkly 2010 view. See below for the brand spanking new poster as captured at my 9-year-old birthday party in 1977. I'm the dufus with the monocle.
I have a second TOS poster from around the same time period, though I don't recall whether it was obtained slightly before or slightly after the other. It is a great shot of the main crew (3rd season perhaps, based on Doohan's hair) on a transporter pad.
Throughout my teen years these posters hung off and on in my room. Here they are, along with a few Search for Spock posters and my refit Enterprise model, in my secondary bedroom circa 1984.
Here's a shot of the second poster on the wall of my dorm room at the University of Waterloo, in October 1986. Clearly I had developed other interests by that time as well...
My love for Star Trek started in the late 1970s, peaked in the early/mid 80s, and continued at a more moderate level through the run of TNG. By the mid-1990s it was put on the back burner as marriage & kids took center stage. Circa 2007 it began to simmer with news of a revamped Star Trek, which I followed closely on trekmovie.com. I felt like a 9-year-old again when JJ's Trek film was released in May 2009.
