Nope.  The valuable one is the Star Trek Tracer Pistol, which shot small
disks made of a flourescent colored plastic.  No water pistols were made to
my knowledge.
Not "a model"...*THE* model.  The one from the original series.  Seen it for

Missed some.  She was also "Number One", from the original pilot, under her

is the only actor to appear in *all* the series of Trek.
Try US$71.3 billion, worldwide sales since 1966.  In 21 years, the annual
income from Trek has been (averaged) about US$3.6 billion.  This is all
licensees for toys, books, and other revenue.
Nope.  The first _test_ shuttle was named Enterprise.  No _space_ shuttle has
