2021 marks the anniversary of so many parts of the Star Trek universe — including the franchise itself — and to help celebrate this multi-anniversary year, the folks over at FanSets are launching a Star Trek pin collection to mark all the milestones!
From the oldest television series to the newest feature film, 2021 marks a total of six major anniversary years for the franchise:
-
- 55 Years — Star Trek: The Original Series
- 35 Years — Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
- 30 Years — Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
- 25 Years — Star Trek: First Contact
- 20 Years — Star Trek: Enterprise
- 5 Years — Star Trek Beyond
To commemorate these markers in time, FanSets is debuting six special anniversary pins, one for each film or series.
Each of the six individual pins will become available for sale as the summer months roll out, debuting in the FanSets web shop for $9.99 each on this schedule:
-
- Star Trek: The Original Series — June 1
- Star Trek Beyond — June 15
- Star Trek IV — July 1
- Star Trek VI — July 15
- Star Trek: Enterprise — August 1
- Star Trek: First Contact — August 15
For fans who want all six pins, the complete 2021 Star Trek Anniversary Collection will be available to order on June 1, shipping right away for those interested in the $59.99 set; included only with the full-collection set will be a special seventh USS Enterprise pin not available for individual purchase.

These won’t be the last big Star Trek pin releases for 2021, of course; the company has already announced its intentions to continue its Star Trek ‘Starfleet Deltas’ line of pins.
For fans of alternate #StarTrek universes, our pals @FanSets revealed they're working on both 'captain' and 'admiral' style Starfleet badges from TNG's "Future Imperfect," targeted for release in mid-2021 — based directly on a surviving screen-used badge.

FanSets has already committed to bringing collectors the deltas worn by Captain Pike’s USS Enterprise crew in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the new oval “tri-combadges” worn by the Star Trek: Discovery crew in the 32nd century, the two “Future Imperfect” bar-backed designs from The Next Generation…
…and even more designs that should make fans very happy, once all their plans are revealed to the public — so stay tuned to TrekCore and to the FanSets website.
