My Dad tossed my stuff when I moved out. It seemed funny from someone who is a hoarder.

Default Star Trek Buckle
I have somewhere a Star Trek Belt Buckle. I also got this Hot Wheels Enterprise for Christmas as a stocking stuffer. Way cool!

I had one of those. When they come for auction, they fetch a hefty price.
The Enterprise kit he is selling is more likely from the 70's and not 1968. AMT came with the other kits after the show went into re-runs.

Obviously, he needed to get rid of your stuff to make room for his stuff.

When I returned home from Navy boot camp I found that all of my Aurora monster models, both built and in sealed kit form, long box and short box, had all disappeared. Mom said, "I sent all of your old toys to the church rummage sale."

I bet they do. Yep, mine was the original offering, got it during first run, 2nd season, I think. I think some company did a kit of the refit Enterprise from the first movie and it had lights of some kind.
