Hallmark Star Trek Ship Ornaments
Most of my friends know I am a Trekkie from waaaay back! And yes, I can't wait for the premiere of the new movie this Friday!
I've been collecting the Hallmark Star Trek Ornaments since 1992. I missed out on the initial Starship Enterprise release in 1991 because Hallmark massively underestimated demand. I of course eventually picked one up on EBay at an exorbitant price to complete the collection. This year's release is the Klingon K'Tinga Battlecruiser, introduced in the opening scene of 1979's Star Trek - The Motion Picture (this is of course, the 30th anniversary of that movie).
The full history of the Star Trek ship ornaments*:

1993 - Starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D (TNG)
1994 - Klingon Bird of Prey (TOS Movies onward)

* These are the Star Trek ships Hallmark released as Christmas Tree ornaments in the ship line. They also released several ships over the years that were intended as desktop displays.
And almost as exciting, this year Hallmark will also be releasing a Robby the Robot from the classic science fiction film Forbidden Planet.
