The Borg come… bearing gifts! We kid you not. Hero Collector has just unveiled its latest Star Trek-themed product, and it’s a Borg Cube Advent Calendar, designed in the shape of the ominous Borg Cube. First appearring in Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Q Who?” the Borg and their simplistic yet terrifying, all conquering Cube has sought to assimilate Star Fleet and all humankind ever since.
Now they will help you countdown to Christmas. The cube calendar overflows with 24 high-quality, all-new gifts and accessories, meant to be opened at a rate of one a day. Gifts include a coaster set inspired by the console screens from The Original Series, a pair of Enterprise-D socks, and an espresso cup commemorating the first warp flight in human history (in 2063). I’m quite sure Zephram Cochrane drank a lot that caffeine goodness before his historic launch. While resistance is typically futile when it comes to the Borg, we can’t tell you what else is included, lest we ruin the surprises for fans.
There are some other tidbits we can reveal, however. Each day’s gift comes with a Themed note detailing the story and trivia behind it, both wrapped together in branded tissue paper. As if designed by the Borg themselves the Borg Cube can use it as a storage and display unit for their Star Trek memorabilia.
Perfect for the holidays, it’ll be available in September and can be preordered NOW at herocollector.com/advent, priced at $139.95 in the U.S. and 109.99 British Pounds in the UK.
“All the items you get are fun, useful and charming. I think they will really make people smile. There’s a lot to be said for that. Everything in the Borg cube Advent calendar is brand-new and exclusive. So, you can buy it for someone knowing that they won’t have any of it… Even if that person is yourself.”
