PLAYMOBIL USS Enterprise Review

[@gordon5004]

Those aren't wires, they're exposed power conduits. GNDN

[@johnblack9885]

Jeffries’ Tube!

[@daxbashir6232]

The "problem" is that these particular "conduits" do "Go Somewhere and Do Something". :-D :-D GSDS :-)

[@Morphatronic]

I think your wife is very astute and sees this for what it is - a statement piece for collectors and a bit of fun for the kid that didn't grow up, I am both of those things and I'm happy I got one.

[@trekkiedave7910]

Personally I think it’s really cool! The bridge Engineering It’s really cool!

[@subraxas]

I mean, from an adult collector's perspective, it's definitely a win-win for someone who's got a thing for Star Trek and has fond memories of playing with Playmobil as a child. I do not mind the beefier saucer section at all, since I do fancy super-deformed (chibi) stuff a lot.

[@avenuePad]

It's actually really cool. I can't justify throwing down that kinda coin on something like that, but I wouldn't hold it against anybody who does. I actually like the out-of-scale aspect of it. It's Playmobil. I loved Playmobil as a kid, but never had a lot of it, as it was so expensive. I personally would love having this in my man cave. I just think that you have to like Playmobil. This isn't supposed to be an exact replica of the Enterprise.

[@Riceball01]

I'd cut them some slack on the accuracy of the design, It's a Playmoble toy and they're obviously going for a more toy-lilke aesthetic. Plus, as I believe you mentioned in your first review, they needed to make compromises in the design in order to accommodate the figure., They probably could have made it more realistic but it would have likely meant that the figures would barely fit with the top on or they''d have to make the thing even larger (and expensive) in order to accommodate the figures but in a more realistic styling/proportions. The one thing that I do think they should have done was make it so that you open the shuttlebay doors so that the shuttlebay could be used for storing the extra dilithium crystal and the tribbles. The shuttlebay would have been the perfect spot for extra storage since that space is probably largely empty.

[@johnblack9885]

Obviously the shuttle bay is way out of scale but I do hope they offer a Galileo shuttlecraft as well as a Transporter room and Medical playsets as companion pieces for this.

[@generalgrievous696]

My issue goes down to the fact that it's too big to be a kid's toy it's a collector's item a rare collector's item but a collectors item nonetheless the construction of it with the exception of the app and a few other things seem to greatly mirror the '90s technology Playmobil used so it would be nice to see them take a little bit of a step forward for instance it's nice that they have a slot for your smartphone but for $500 they should be able to include at least a cheap LCD screen that could turn on.

[@robd1329]

This should be priced at $299.00 the most!

[@JK-Visions]

@@robd1329 It is cheaper nowadays. I bought one for 319 this week.

[@TheDing1701]

It's fucking beautiful. This will be my 50th Christmas on this Earth. Some of those were filled with my brother and I getting Playmobile stuff in the big rectangular boxes. If any family asks me what I would like, I'll say, "Pool everyone's budget for all holidays this and next year, and I'll throw what I can in. I want to be happy in the years I have left. Short of finding a soul mate, I think this would do it." LOL

[@S1nwar]

i dont think a child would appreciate this for what it costs

[@subraxas]

The 10-year-old me would. I originate from a very poor family and I remember myself treating the few Lego sets I had back then like something sacred, because I knew that it was a premium toy, how much the sets cost (at least approximately) and mainly how much it all cost my parents to get it for me.

[@johnblack9885]

Well she’s a keeper! See dude even if Playmobil didn’t send it to you for free she would have bought it for you! If you are a fan the price is justifiable. Sure the AR is crap but I don’t care. The 1:350 model kit with the lighting kit costs over $350 alone. This thing is ginormous! Good luck finding it on sale but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

[@bobastu]

I've said this before: it looks to be pretty awesome. I give playability a B-. The bridge is pretty cool. Engineering is pretty cool. The loss of dilithium effect is top notch. Communicators, phasers, tricorders, and medical hyposprays all beg for a transporter. This set could have included a "Jefferies Tube" in one of the nacelles. A miniature shuttle in the back, the size of a Tribble, could have been included for imaginative play and a greater suspension of disbelief. This goes great with the other space sets. By itself....I think it is a solid B-. I think the Saucer looks great for a toy. If this is the first of a number of sets, I will lose my mind. The engineering hull is fun. Dude, you need to let the shape of the Saucer go. This is not a 350th scale Polar Lights Round 2 exact detail model. It's a toy. The Polar Lights $650.00 model seems way overpriced to me where $500 for this makes sense.

[@MJKToys]

First off - my kids are spoiled. They all have voluntarily watched (to my surprise) most of the ST series from TOS to Voy. My 10yr old would love it, he and his brother share a loft and for now he would have a place to display and play with it. If we lived anywhere else it wouldn't work. The cost of oversized toys is at a premium for sure, but compared to what I spend on kits and Hot Toys it's not comparatively over expensive.

[@moonytheloony6516]

This was a pretty good review, however, you've put way too much scrutiny into the saucer shape. It's designed for Playmobil therefore the compromise should be expected and understood. That's how Playmobil generally do things with their play sets. This ship is absolutely worth the money if one can afford it, because of not only the detail but the also the technology put into it. The sounds appear to be spot on and the lighting is stunning. The important thing when reviewing a product line this is threading the Playmobil dynamic within the review. If one really wants a perfect or near-perfect (and interactive) saucer exterior with an interior, then ya better hope LEGO develops the Enterprise in their high-end collector series models that have given us the Death Star, Executor, Millennium Falcon, Slave 1, and Imperial Star Destroyer. All of which are rather expensive.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Rare Romulan Space Fly spying on the Enterprise! :-)

[@LabradorIndependent]

A scale *model* of the Enterprise with cutaways and this level of detail *might* be worth the cost, but this is in just effect a very expensive toy.

[@Anth230]

this is not meant to be an accurate model. it's meant to be a toy. I dont see people complaining about inaccurate figures like Pop vinyls...😂

[@zeno0019]

I bought one on Amazon's Cyber Monday deal. I love it! Nothing like drinking my coffee and powering up the warp engines in the morning.

[@inkermoy]

1 minute in: "This is the shorter review" Looks at the video length...48 minutes... :D Thanks for the shortened review. It is really damn cool. Also really damn big. As a playset it has some nice touches, and even opening it up to look at the bridge and engineering, you can get a nostalgic feel from it, playing scenes in your head without even playing with it. A missed opportunity though to be able to replace the crew's heads with the tribbles (from a kid's play perspective). The sounds are good, not so tinny from the video, but is there a volume control? Interesting that both questions were about the M5 though, is there more trivia? I like the differing opinions. One would have to balance the physical space available in their home with the cost of the collectible to determine its real value. Again, thanks for the review!

[@joseph7988]

It's nice, but definitely not worth $500. Playmobil slapped a huge "collectible" tax on that.

[@Vincent-396]

Rewatching this video, this thing is more impressive than I remember. It has amazing features. Playmobil is expensive, but it is one of the beat toy lines, currently. Nicely done, Playmobil.

[@justincase6151]

In regards to ship accuracy, Playmobile sets are meant to be cartoon like. One cannot expect an exact mock up from the show.

[@Anth230]

correct. no different than pop vinyls....those things are not accurate figures and people scoop them up...

[@aurora1024]

I agree with Sylvia. For an adult collector, $500 doesn't surprise me, especially if you can hang it. Plus if they only make a few thousand of them, once they go out of production they will sell for a LOT more than $500. This smacks of some of the old Star Wars toys.

[@johnwiser71]

I showed this to my wife as she asked what I wanted for Christmas. She said OK and then she saw the price and in a high pitched voice loudly said “That is $250?” in which I laughed and said it was originally $500. At the end of the day she threw in $150 so I am getting this absolutely fantastic piece for $100 of my own money and a great 2023 Christmas gift that I will remember for years to come. Would I had purchased this at the $500 price? No, not because I do not like it just that $500 is more than I was willing to spend but at $250 I would have purchased this myself. If anyone is reading this remember to purchases this set and sets like this around Christmas as Playmobil usually run 50% off sales leading up to Christmas (this is Christmas of 2023). Enjoy this set if you do indeed pick it and remember to live long and prosper.

[@dionysislarson6352]

I liked how you compared it to your model. One is a toy, sold as a collectable and isn't suitable to be either and the other is a piece of art, suitable for everyone.

[@daxbashir6232]

Well, "the other" is definitely not everyone since you would not give it to your under-12 kids to play and fool around with it as they often do, ain't that right? Plus, who has that "collectables" must always be screen-accurate? Have you ever heard of Chibis and Funko Pops, for example?

[@dionysislarson6352]

​@@daxbashir6232 If the choice is between the two, yes I would prefer to "give" the model to under-12 kids to play with instead of the 470.00 euro "toy". For one is the price difference, the model is a quarter of the cost. The second reason is for repair issues. For the 470.00 euro "Toy", with all of its programming, more than likely, I'd have to send it back to Playmobil for repair and still need to cover the costs. With the quarter of the cost model, with the same skill and material that I put into building it in the first place, I could use again to repair it. And it would be my joy to do so. However, there are many developmental stages between the years of 0 and 12, so fine, I'll retract my highly hyperbolic term of "Everyone". I'm sure that for a 0-2 year old, I'm more than likely to go for a third option than to stick with the overly imposed position of "choosing" between two hard and heavy plastic structures and go for a plush toy sorta thingy. Plus, why did you use the word "Plus", in your second question? I didn't say anything about a collectible needing to "Always be screen accurate". I'm pretty sure that Capt. Foley would never say such a thing either considering that he's showed his collection many times and he's collected many things, as have I, that isn't screen accurate. But in answer to your question, nope I've never heard of Chibis. I have heard of Funko Pops although, I don't know their product lines. If I had to guess, I'd say that they made Pop Tarts or Lolly Pops.

[@paulrmatzke298]

Nice video. Can I ask where you got the plexiglass enterprise color changing sign to the left of your 350 model?

[@vengeance1701]

Minor detail I just noticed is that the overhang over the shuttlebay doors is missing.

[@MarkLLawrence]

That's a big ship. Not so big as her captain.

Mad props to Playmobil though..👏

[@carlo2384]

I would have loved to see playmobil mini sets of some of the OS episodes: balance of terror, galileo seven, devil in the dark, arena, mirror mirror, space seed, trouble with tribbles, etc. Too bad they lost the license! The display possibilities!! This is one of my favorite RB reviews. Thanks again!

[@hansebee]

This reminds me of that ancient TOS 1701 landline phone, where the receiver made the ungainly "pregnant guppy" lower saucer necessary.

[@afoolandhismoneychannel]

Ha! I have one of those. I liken it more to a bullfrog's vocal sack. 🐸

[@IanNCC1701]

Would like to get it, but it's just way too expensive to justify the purchase, for me anyway.

[@TheSuperSnake313]

It's very cool, super impressive. I just don't know if it's worth it, either for kids to play with or to just display on a shelf, seems like kinda a waste. Since it's so big they might as well have just went all the way and made the proportions correct cuz it looks a little wonky. Thanks for the review Cap!

[@robd1329]

Had this been priced at $200 it would sell faster+

[@maxrome67]

I agree with you on the saucer but the end of the day its Playmobil and the bottom saucer was there to create the bridge set inside, I just wish someone would make one this size or bigger in a more accurate version ;-)

[@Jack_Stafford]

Better than I thought, but if the sugar cube sized dilithium crystals are lost, the toy stops working?

[@carter1701]

It’s cool. The price is a bit steep but the build is neat. I do fully agree on the view about the design of the bottom of the saucer section. The bottom of the saucer section isn’t right and takes away from it.

[@halwasserman7905]

What is that strange looking thing on the bridge directly in front of the captain's chair? It's between where the captain's chair is and where the helmsmen's seats are. It looks like a mini view screen with a red and yellow circle on it and three buttons (blue, red, and black). I don't recall seeing that there in the actual show. Am I mistaken, or is this just something this model has?

[@cmp962]

Not only do I NEED this in my life, I have already ordered one...

[@skooter6235]

PlayMobil is definitely stepping their game up. I recently got their limited edition VW as well as the VW van and non limited edition VW bug. I like their Enterprise, but, yeah, a little on the pricey side.

I love the ship and sounds etc, but I'd only purchase if it was sub 200 in price.

Wish the bridge stations lit up and Sulu's scanner that comes up is missing. Lastly the scanner on Spock's station should be painted blue in the center

[@johnnorwood2239]

This item was NEVER intended to be marketed as a toy to the 6 to 12 years as most playmobil items are designed. This is intentionally meant from its very beginning as a collector item for adults 1) by its costs 2) by its size 3) by its complexity in set up 4) its pattern -- being the classic 1960s version instead of the re-design shown in Discovery clearly meant to exploit nostalgia If you are a fan of the Shatner series and have the shelf size it is a cute toy to sit on your shelf to LIGHTLY share with your grand-kids as they will BANG on it If you are a serious fan of the Shatner series pass on this and get a more accurate high end model if that is your goal

[@46GarageUSA]

I'd modify it, add red alert next to the elevator doors, add the window lights , I'd add a real led screen and the led scanner under the screen

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Lol, you did the whole video not wanting to like anything about it. The best part of the video is your admiral. I'm both a Playmobil and a Trek fan. The main thing I wish they had room for was the transporter room. As a Playmobil fan, I would have wanted more accessories (though not sure what right now besides some foamy rocks and maybe a Gorn or something for conflict. I thought of the tribbles before I knew they were included, so that's awesome, and you definitely need a bunch. It would be dumb to just have one or two. Don't know why they have a hole in the bottom though. Playmobil is usually great at not showing holes in the bottoms of accessories unless there's a purpose). Tribble closet would have been great to store tribbles in and have them fall out (quite surprised they didn't put any in (there's usually lots of storage cupboards in Playmobil structures anyway). I think they were trying to aim at the Trek collectors with so much emphasis on the lights and tech and making it like a model. That's not really my thing so I hope they do Next Gen in the future and really accessorize like crazy that make references to episodes (I can already picture borg Playmobil). I like the Playmobil look and the ship needs to fit the figures well, so the less accurate proportions don't bother me at all. It is cool that it can hang overhead, but hopefully it's also easy to take down and put back up so that you can see the figures, etc. It would have been cool if instead of a big ship, they went with individual rooms that could connect in a modular way (and then people wind up spending a lot of money, but incrementally). So, sets could be: bridge in a saucer, engine room, transporter room, Captain's quarters, away mission set. I was actually hoping the other side of the engine room would have the transporter room but it probably doesn't fit because of the electronics. For me, I would rather not have any electronics (except for the three sounds in the bridge) and have more "play" space (transporter room or even the quarters). Playmobil makes a lot of modular dollhouses, but this is limited by the shape of the Enterprise. Though it does make total sense to make a big ship that makes the sounds and lights up and fits all the main crew so hats off to them for this ambitious set. It seems like it would have to cost pretty close to $700 (CAD). It's too bad the free one is wasted on you since you don't really like it. I hope you can give it away to someone who really loves it. There are a lot of cool things about it. And part of the fun of these sets now is the build and putting all those stickers on (for some people). Otherwise, the designers could just package it all built up, but they're made to have some bits to assemble as part of the play. I haven't watched the build video, but I can tell by the way you interacted with the final product that you probably didn't enjoy that, but probably someone out there would want the finished thing. Don't sell it as it was a free gift from the company. Make someone happy instead.

[@charlesschultz3465]

Love it. My tiny light-up Hallmark Enterprise looking a bit sad now...

[@GreenspudTrades]

Can you run the lights-only continuously? Or do the sounds always activate and and it shuts off after 3 minutes? It would be nice to have as a display mode and just have the lights running.

The 10 year old in me would want this from Santa Claus. But the 50 year old in me can't justify this. I wish this was available 40 years ago. I just can't spare $500 right now, unfortunately 😕. Thank you for your review. Pretty cool that you got this for free. Nice of Playmobil to do this.

[@Recoverel]

I agree with both of you..... I agree that this is a decent collector's piece. It is something I can display AND play with!! (Of course, not carrying it up and down the stairs as if I am holding a jet fighter!) I also agree that the price point is a bit too high. I am sure it takes a lot, like retooling and stuff like that, to bring this product to life. However, for a Playmobil toy, I would pay USD$250 at most $300 for it. The size is also an issue. No space, even if I were to hang it! In 2013 or so, I bought the Hasbro Kreo Enterprise and collected all the members on the bridge. So I do have a smaller Kreo version of the new Enterprise with minimal light at the nacell. If Playmobil would make the Enterprise NCC 1701-D (TNG) and lower the price point without diminishing the features, I would seriously consider getting it!

[@TexasCat99]

It is a HUGE *TOY* for the price. Comparing it to the Playmobil BTF Delorian, the playability is about the same for a child. I don't understand the reason for this toy. It looks like a toy and its $500. If anything, what I think would be cheaper for a pre-built large 1/350ish scale TOS is to have it hollow with lights for about $250 would sell easier. The PL 1/350 kit can be had for $150, even a novice can simply mask a few areas and spray some paint from some rattle cans, apply decals to get a nicer-looking enterprise. Now, let's put it in perspective of today's costs. Hasbro made the Legacy Falcon around 2008 for $125. It's a HUGE toy with tons of features and lights. It was going for $80~1000 new on Ebay. About $300~400 used. Hasbro released the Solo Falcon in 2018 for $100. It wasn't even half the size of the Legacy. The cockpit could only hold 1 figure, and another figure could lay down in the back.... yeah, fun. NOT! Yeah, it did not sell well at all. It was a BAD toy design, not worth it. Disney re-released the huge Falcon toy for $400. It's very expensive compared to the original $125 price. But its a lot cheaper than $800+ on Ebay. For $500, adding about 7 or 8 LEDs to light windows wouldn't cost that much more to add. A light channel would light up the side panel when attached (use a flip panel to cover the LED bulb or switch to turn off the LED when the cover is off.) The BTF Delorian looks very good for a toy. I think this Enterprise toy could have been done a little bit on the saucer. It's a tough sell.

[@robd1329]

I remember the day the Legacy Millennium Falcon went on clearance at my Toysrus! I bought it for $75.00!!!! I still have it in the box Unopened! Ive been thinking of opening it...its just too cool not to and massive!!

[@TexasCat99]

@@robd1329 I remember when Walmart had an island of those in the middle of an isle. $125. I'd walk by those every few days for months wanting to get one. But I couldn't afford it. I think over 4~6 months they might have sold one box. I hoped to get it on clearence. Then one day, they were ALL GONE. :( Some people posted about getting them for $25~$50 each depending on the store and how fast the employee just wanted get rid of them. $25?! I bought a used one in VERY good condition, a few years ago for $300 for my then 5yr old son. He couldn't move it for the first year. Of course, he still plays with that Falcon toy and I've gotten on the floor and we'd play together. Chase him with it too. :P The landing gear is the worst thing about it. They "plug in" and eventually get worn out. I wished the rear engine cover came off and they made it into an engine room. More than enough room to put AA batteries off to the side. If you got kids, enjoy it with them. Seems to sell for $600~800 new on Ebay for some reason. By the time it's worth $5000, you'd have passed on from old age. :)

Reminds me of the Dinky Toys version of the Enterprise, it was also a bit distorted. In any case, I love them all, I agree the Mega Bloks Enterprise is more accurate, love that one too. And yes - the cost - well in the US at least, the price has dropped about 25%. Still expensive, I'm going to sell one of my collector's kits (a four letter word ending in O) and use the money to buy this - this kit looks like much more fun! And the app - software can always be fixed with updates, hopefully they will fix the AR features. LLAP!

I think the bridge and stardrive sections are really nice. It does have the limitations of Playmobil figures, and truthfully I'd have preferred non-playmobil figures that were less stylised but they are a bit of a hoot. I do quite like it, do I like it enough to buy it? Probably yes, but the problem of where to display it, that's a problem. But if I had the space, yeah then I'd wince and pay the moolah.

[@laundrupatton208]

Big as it is they could have wired more lights in that. I didn't catch the price. Because I have a MEGA BLOX version Enterprise I never opened and decided to find a KZbin video on that and compare.

[@jeremycaufield8605]

Too expensive to buy for a child, not enough of an accurate representation to be a collectible.

[@subraxas]

Funko Pops also aren't "an accurate representation" of what they portray and yet they are a world-wide smash hit with adult collectors. Lots of people adore super-deformed (chibi) stuff like this.

[@Ron-ep3zl]

I wish I was paying attention to these when they came out because I would have bought 1.

[@briankruse3584]

I’m selective on the collectibles I buy and I just don’t like this one. When I built my 350 scale model kits I used up all my display space. This is a cute toy though.

[@arthurgirdwood3466]

Hey I enjoy your videos. I dont have anything quite like this. And for me this is a good way for me induct my kids into startrek. As I hope and pray to have it maybe the app will get more updates and I hope we can purchase more figures. Yes I do belive a shuttle should have been added but in sure it would have given it a big but. Or aft if you will. Becouse knowing playmobile they would want to put the figure in it. I hope they do more to interact with this.

[@michaelkata2342]

I thinks it's very cool over all but there are things they could work on. The shuttle bay should open and either have a shuttle inside of they could use it to store the Tribbles. The lights for the windows could be glow in the dark stickers as a cheap way to do it. I think they should add a view screen screen saver to The app so when you put your phone in the bridge, it will look like The ship is traveling at warp (which could respond when you push the warp button) or have The ship orbit a planet. The figures were kind generic and I thought they could have done Kirk's hair a bit better. Spock...really they have him with a smile and the brows make him look evil. One eyebrow raised and a line for the mouth works just fine. The shape of the saucer isn't that big an issue for me as I see it from the sides, top and back...but I do see the problem if your going to hang it. Do I think it's worth $500...no but I wouldn't mind getting at around $250-$300.

[@SquadraCorse]

I am still watching, but no matter what Stuart's opinion is, it was pretty awesome for Playmobile to send one to Trekyards.

[@rilakrilak5]

$500 sounds pricey until your buddy shows you his new forge world resin model titan that he paid $1500 for :) and its about half the size of that.... and is a static model you have to build/paint.

[@justinp4996]

Good review but best part has to be when you tried to convince her it wasn't worth the price. Seems like if you have the $$$ and want to buy it, go for it. Why must things always be so much here in Canada!

[@vickid9035]

A captain foly My question is where are the faser sound effects sound effects and where is the sound effect for the impulse drive and the light up with the red impulse lightsIf it doesn't have that or a working shuttle Bay and maybe maybe the blue light effect on the Grilling of the Is warpdriveThen perhaps it's not worth the price

[@wullie823]

my thoughts are if Sylvija and Samuel or other members of your family and friends chipped in! then the cost would be justifiable, but to pay that all on your own, your right! it is too much, just a pity that Playmobil couldn't drop the price a bit for you, knowing who you are and the show you do

[@benwillis124]

I thought Playmobil sent him one for free in exchange for doing the review? He was complaining about the price for others.

[@curtismckenley8706]

Eaglemoss should do stuff like this

[@RealThatDesignerGuy]

I finally saw the price and ... wow... I thought at most $150 US but 500? I'll stick with Eaglemoss

[@daxbashir6232]

You're cheap!! :-D

[@TheKnightsShield]

At least the turbolift on the bridge is in the right place. 😉😉

[@daxbashir6232]

It is, but the bridge itself is off.

[@czechplastik]

I think for what you get the price is quite reasonable. I've paid way more for less with other star trek stuff. I've bought two!

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

The Mega Bloks brick built large Enterprise really was the limit for me. If I wanted to spend the money, it would not be on a toy. And far, far too many stickers for that price. Who knows whether they will hold up just like 2 years from now?

[@captain3186]

I think $350 US I'd be in but I just don't know about $500. Seems mighty steep for a Playmobile Toy

[@tylerkowalski3862]

It really is way cooler than I thought it would be. My birthday is coming up I will have other people buy it for me. 😜

[@gavinjoth5347]

Playmobil is always expensive as heck, 700 loonies is on point for this. This is something a Trekkie grandad or granma would get to play with their grandkids with. The Tribbles are dumb, should have come with a Gorn and a Klingon

[@Capronice]

Oh now that you opened it, I love it. I wish I were a kid again. I want to see someone animate those things like the Lego movies.

[@vedekcobol]

I'd love to have this but I'm not paying that price for it

[@joshuabekel9700]

LOVE LOVE LOVE TOS bridge and ambient noise.

[@mulder19x95]

Personally I love a lot of Playmobil's fandom collection. I have Ecto-1, Ecto-1A and the GB Firehouse and all 3 are phenomenal but I feel Playmobil really dropped the ball on this one. They made it look so "toyish". The two Ecto-1 cars from Ghostbusters don't really look like toys. Ecto-1A from Ghostbusters II is highly detailed to where I love it more than my expensive model versions. However this Enterprise just looks too much like a toy and that price tag is INSANE. I feel you're better off buying the Diamond Select TOS Enterprise rather than this one but that's just me. I personally prefer the Diamond Select version and it's also a tad smaller but also far more accurate.

[@robd1329]

Oh wow..you got the Playmobile Enterprise! I guess you past video saying it was too expensive paid off! I would love to have one sent to me! This really is an amazing ship..but too expensive for the die hard collector!...trust me I am a die hard TOS fan!

[@mullen25]

larger than i anticipated. ok i admit my 12 yr old self needs this. my adult self thinks its a tad too expensive. still a very cool model though.

[@snoopymcqueen8287]

Awesome!!!

[@jamesgarrison7397]

I could see this for $400 US dollars TOPS! And more of it built for you, $500 is about $100 too much!

[@StarWarsJay]

I’d say 400 too much.

[@robd1329]

Nah..it should be $300 tops! Their too many videos of Everyone complaining about the over the top price. Hopefully they lower the price..their def going to have too many in their warehouse

[@StarWarsJay]

@@robd1329 well if everyone is complaining about the price, then there’s value in the opinion. It’s a lot of cash for a piece of plastic. A nice piece to be fair, but a plastic toy at the end of the day. I’d be interested to know how much they cost per unit to produce. Seems to me they are targeting the adult collectors market. If that was a random spaceship toy with the same features, I’m sure it would be a quarter of the price.
