Re: Full-size Star Trek Bridge Chair to beam up for Xmas
I Googled it and grabbed this from the cached version of the page:

Trekkers will soon be able to watch their favourite show from the comfort of…the Captain’s Chair.
CBS Consumer Products has confirmed the release a full-size (kinda) operational replica of Captain James T Kirk’s bridge chair.
This corker of a Star Trek collectable has a swivel design, and offers light-up controls and button-activated sound effects from the series. The iconic SF seat will also feature Kirk’s dialogue from the show (”Lt. Uhura, open a channel to all decks” and “Kirk to engineering, Scotty, report!”).
Officially licensed, the Captain’s chair will be available from specialist online retailers this Christmas, priced at 2,000 dollars.

Re: Full-size Star Trek Bridge Chair to beam up for Xmas
Blimey, it looks better in those pics.
I'm half tempted
As much as I love the original Star Trek, I couldn't go that far.
The killer/real tempter would be if it made the noise of the doors.
That was just so cool
Nice link Nelviticus
