Even by modern convention standards, it sounds crazy. It wasn't just a
Star Trek
convention. Not just a
Star Trek
convention with nearly the entire original series cast present, either. It was a
Star Trek
convention with a "multi-media extravaganza," a laser show, and live musical performances all on a custom-made, constantly slowly rotating stage built like the Starfleet uniform badge insignia with a captain’s chair right in the middle.
As
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
was being released, that's exactly what was planned for "Ultimate Fantasy" in Houston, Texas, at the Shamrock Hilton Convention Center and the adjacent Summit Arena in June 1982. The show was
advertised
all over
Starlog
and
TV Guide
. Huge billboards went up across the Houston area, and some organizers really believed that fans would come from overseas to see this four-hour live show.
There was only one problem: no one came.
In a venue that could hold at least 17,000 fans, which had been booked for three performances over a weekend, tickets sold to less than 10 percent of capacity. When relatively few fans showed up, the Shamrock Hilton demanded that all vendors pay their fair share in full, lest they be shut down early.This show was associated with "HoustonCon", the largest comic/sci-fi show in the southwest.  The vendors had one individual (thanks Joe Bob) at registration to make sure admission to the vendors area went directly to the hotel to keep the show open.  Even the stage hands working on the performance nearly had some of their gear seized in the middle of a show. In short, "Ultimate Fantasy" collapsed miserably. Over time it became known as "The Con of Wrath"—it also became legendary among
Trek
fans.

We have been seeing extended delays in delivery times with the USPS due to the current world medical situation.  Priority mail packages are now taking 3-5 days.  Standard shipping is now taking 3-7 days.  Economy shipping is now taking 5-15 days. Odd shaped packages, i.e. poster tubes, are taking much longer.
A Note about shipping time:
Ebay often lists an expected delivery date that is unreasonable due to the USPS delivery system.  While we process 90%+ of our orders in one business day we list longer processing times to allow for the occasional day off or an elusive item.
