Playmobil has been slowly venturing into more licensed properties as their primary competitor, LEGO, has been cranking them out for the past decade-plus. Their next, Star Trek, will yield one of, if not the biggest Playmobil playset ever produced and go boldly where the toy company has never gone before.
The Playmobil 70548 Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 playset puts all previous licensed Playmobil sets to shame. Yes, even the Ghostbusters Headquarters.
Update: Amazon has opened up pre-orders for the Playmobil Enterprise. Note you will pay sales tax at Amazon and not at EE unless you’re in the state of California. Both sites offer free shipping.
At 42-inches long and 18-inches wide, and priced at $499.99, this set is not just the bridge or another part of the ship. It’s the entire ship with a removable saucer top to access the bridge and removable panel to access the Engine Room, complete with smart phone app-activated lights and sounds.
As this is the NCC-1701 iteration of the Enterprise the included figures are Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, Ensign Chekov, Lt. Uhura, Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Lt. Sulu, and Chief Engineer Montgomery “Scott” Scotty.
Entertainment Earth is currently accepting pre-orders with free shipping for this ship that is expected to ship in September. What kid wouldn’t want to find this under the Christmas tree? Though I can imagine a lot of adult Trek collectors will be all over it as well.
Pre-order the Playmobil 70548 Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Playset at EE with free shipping, while supplies last.
Other complimentary Playmobil sets to the Enterprise are coming as well.
