Commemorating the series' dates on either side of the 50th anniversary logo, and described as the "Premiere Collectible", is a round plate, featuring all the main cast. For the golden anniversary, this twelve inch porcelain plate features a twenty-two karet gold trim, including a quote from the oening monologue, more Starfleet deltas, and a braid design inspired by the captain's rank on the uniform sleeves. This is a limited edition of five-thousand pieces.
For a more substantial display, they have also released (what they gloriously alliteratively describe as) a "Porcelain Plate Panorama", titled The Exploration. Four five-by-seven inch plates form a single image, which again features all the main crew, as well as still from several notable episodes. They all sit together on a bespoke display stand.
And finally, released last year to commemorate the passing of Leonard Nimoy, is the Spock-focused Live Long and Prosper plate. The sixteen-and-a-half inch wide plate comes in a oval frame, and is also a limited edition of five-thousand pieces.

Do people still buy these?
I know I won't -- they're way too expensive!
Are you serious? I paid less than $20US for the 40th plate....$149US I'm not boldly going near it....sorry
"I'm not boldly going near it" - Best comment for ages!
Someone must buy them as Bradford Exchange keep making them, but clearly no one who cares to comment here!
