Planet of the Apes Model Kits Catalog

The Addar Planet of the Apes model kits arrived in 1973, and wow, did they kick off a licensing explosion.

AMT Star Trek Model Kits

These kits were EVERYWHERE when I was a kid. AMT Star Trek seemed to dominate every toy store, including local variety stores and cigar stores. I probably had them all at one point, completely ruined by a lack of skill and patience. I got there eventually, but wow, that road was paved with many swears.

Star Trek Fan Catalog 1974 featuring buttons and books

When I finally got to Cons as a teen in the 1980s, buttons were a big deal. I doubt many were officially licensed, but we didn’t seem too bothered by it. I’ll take a “Star Trek Lives” bumper sticker.

1974 Catalog Order Form-  – STREK

I’m totally filling this out, I hope my mum will write me a cheque for $11.
