Your continuing tie-in uploads made me realize something I never noticed before: Marketing for Space focused almost exclusively on young people. When I collected material from my favourite show (guess) the item was almost always a book, magazine, or model kit (which would fall into the "adult" category, as well). While there were toys for Trek, based on the great props, most merchandise was of the higher age bracket.
