Captain Kirk's Chair Goes On Sale

Captain Kirk's Chair Goes On Sale

August 14, 2008 12:00 AM

For the geek who has everything: CBS Consumer Products announced that it will sell a full-size, operational replica of the chair piloted by Captain Kirk on the original Star Trek TV show. And this Captain Kirk memorabilia will only set you back $2,000.

The officially licensed Kirk product features a working swivel design, light-up controls and sound effects from the series (intercom hail, photon torpedoes, etc.). The Kirk chair also issues snippets of dialogue from the show, including the famous "Space: The final frontier" prologue and William Shatner's voice uttering such deathless phrases as "Lt. Uhura, open a channel to all decks" and "Kirk to engineering: Scotty, report!"

The chair will be available online and at retail outlets in time for the holidays.
