Corgi made an early acquaintance with the ''Star Trek'' franchise in 1980 when it obtained the casting toolings for the second set of the two die cast models from [[Meccano Dinky Toys]], which went bankrupt shortly before. On the occasion of the release of {{film|2}} Corgi (under its sub brand "Corgi Junior") re-released the models as Dinky Toys never got around to formally releasing their editions in the UK.

In {{m|January|2008}}, it was announced that Corgi had obtained a multi-year license to produce collectibles based on props and ships from {{film|11}}, though these were intended to be released under the brand [[Master Replicas]], Corgi acquired in 2006.[http://trekmovie.com/2008/01/26/corgi-announces-star-trek-movie-license/] Master Replicas was renowned amongst collectors for their high quality, limited editions of 1:1 props (light sabers) replicas of the ''Star Wars'' franchise as well as their rendition of the studio scale (3-foot) model of the original ''Enterprise''.

Corgi obtained a multi-year license to produce collectibles based on props and ships from 2009's {{film|11}} film in January 2008, though it appears that most releases were intended to be released under the [[Master Replicas]] brand, a company that Corgi had merged with in 2006. [http://trekmovie.com/2008/01/26/corgi-announces-star-trek-movie-license/] Master Replicas' involvement was widely lauded by collectors due to the company's high quality prop replicas from the ''Star Wars'' franchise and their "studio scale" three-foot model of the USS ''Enterprise'' (TOS). Master Replicas' and Corgi's association with ''Star Trek'' ended abruptly in September 2009 when it was announced that licenses to produce replica ships and props had been awarded to [[eFX Collectibles]] and [[QMx]].

Corgi

Corgi is a British company which has produced die-cast vehicle models since the 1950s under the Corgi and Corgi Jr. labels, among others. A subsidiary of the company called Corgi Books published Star Trek novels in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Corgi made an early acquaintance with the Star Trek franchise in 1980 when it obtained the casting tools for two die-cast starship models previously produced by the bankrupt Meccano Dinky Toys. Just prior to the release of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Corgi licensed and re-released the models to retail as Dinky had never formally marketed them in the UK.

Standard Limited Edition

In 2005, the company obtained a license to release die-cast models based on starships seen in various Star Trek episodes and movies. Five to eight-inch long die-cast models of the USS Enterprise, a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, and a model of the USS Enterprise-D were first released in February 2006.

Later in the year, the company released unpainted versions of each ship in its "40th Anniversary Limited Edition" line. Each came with a numbered certificate, four AAA batteries, and an electronically-adjustable illuminated stand.

Models of the USS Defiant, USS Voyager, and D'deridex-class Romulan Warbird were scheduled for release in September 2007 but were not produced.[1] The USS Enterprise-E was also tentatively scheduled for future release but never saw production.

Corgi obtained a multi-year license to produce collectibles based on props and ships from 2009's Star Trek film in January 2008, though it appears that most releases were intended to be released under the Master Replicas brand, a company that Corgi had merged with in 2006. [2] Master Replicas' involvement was widely lauded by collectors due to the company's high quality prop replicas from the Star Wars franchise and their "studio scale" three-foot model of the USS Enterprise (TOS). Master Replicas' and Corgi's association with Star Trek ended abruptly in September 2009 when it was announced that licenses to produce replica ships and props had been awarded to eFX Collectibles and QMx.
