We love collectibles here at Den of Geek, and our readers seem to appreciate getting a heads up any time a new lineup of toys, cards, or other merchandise is introduced. We’re excited to share with you our headliner announcement about Paramount’s new partnership to produce action figures for all of your favorite Star Trek franchises — and that’s just for starters.
Luckily, we have an avid collector on staff, Lee Parham, and his particular niche is all things LEGO. As the toy company continues to partner with entertainment IPs for new sets, he’s been pretty busy finding all the latest news and rumors, this time for a particular Star Wars era. Lee also shuffled through the entire Pikachu lineup to find the most desirable Pokémon cards for those who are into TCGs… and the Gen 1 electric-type starter in particular.
Don’t forget about our Editor’s Picks! Scroll down to read our exclusive interviews with the directors of The Gorge and The Monkey!
