Star Trek fans attending Comic-Con next week can see new products, meet Star Trek alumni and take home some show exclusives.  To help planning, here is a Star Trek-centric breakdown of what to look for and when and where to go.

CBS (Booth #4129):  StarTrek.com will celebrate its recent re-launch with free watches and buttons for fans. The exclusive Star Trek watches come in four colors - yellow, blue, red and black- with only 400 of each available. There will also be a series of seven buttons, including The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, The Animated Series and the Enterprise from last year’s blockbuster film. Collectors will find The Animated Series Enterprise buttons at the CBS booth with the other buttons at the booths of Star Trek partners throughout the show. Be sure to watch the official Star Trek Facebook and Twitter pages for updates during Comic-Con for information on finding each pin.

Genki Wear (Booth #3744):  The makers of the popular line of Star Trek fragrances are back with their latest and greatest product yet, Sulu Pour Homme Cologne for men. Sulu is the perfect cologne for the man who does everything, whether that's cataloging exotic plants, collecting antique firearms, or piloting ancient helicopters and advanced starships. Get there early as they’ll only have 300 bottles on hand in exclusive Comic-Con packaging.

Hallmark (Booth #2913):  The company recently launched its Christmas 2010 ornaments collection, which will include James T. Kirk, Kirk vs. Spock/”Amok Time” and a New U.S.S. Enterprise (circa the recent Star Trek movie), but the really big news is that they’ll be showing prototype 2011 Star Trek ornaments. 

IDW (Booth #2643):  The graphic novel and comic book publisher will be showcasing many of its titles, including Star Trek. And here’s the big news: Scott and David Tipton, veteran Star Trek comic writers, and Mike Johnson and Tim Jones, who co-penned Star Trek: Countdown and Star Trek: Nero, will be signing at the booth.
