What an incredible time we had at Star Trek Las Vegas! Now that the warp engines have cooled down and we are back at headquarters, we want to take a moment to look back on an unforgettable week and say a massive THANK YOU to our amazing community.

Whether you have been with us since day one or discovered us for the first time on the convention floor, you made this event truly special.

🎤 Behind the Scenes: Our "Trials and Tribble-ations" Panel

One of the absolute highlights of our weekend took place on Sunday! We were incredibly grateful for the opportunity to step up to the microphone and pull back the curtain on what it takes to bring your favorite universe to life.

We spoke candidly about the "Trials and Tribble-ations" of creating Star Trek merchandise as licensed vendors. We dove deep into the real, behind-the-scenes balancing act of running a licensed sci-fi brand, discussing the challenges of:

• Navigating complex, highly detailed design schematics.
• The ongoing puzzle of finding out what sells versus what doesn't.
• Producing unique merchandise that makes sense financially while maintaining premium quality.
• Above all, capturing the true spirit and history of the Star Trek lore.

Sharing these triumphs and hurdles with a room full of passionate fans was an unforgettable experience. We weren't flying solo, either! We were thrilled to share the stage and trade stories with an incredible crew of fellow creators:

• Our fantastic host, Tony Kim from Hero Within
• Factory Entertainment
• Star Trek Wines and Spirits
• Exo-6 Collectibles
• And of course Larry Nemecek

A huge thank you to our fellow panelists for the brilliant insights, and to everyone who attended to listen to us talk shop!
