Back in the 70’s there was a set of walkie talkies that came out based on TOS star trek. They were blue over sized when compared to the ones in the series. It had the flip open face a retractable antennae and a 1/4 mile range. With today’s advances in electronics it would be nice if someone would revisit that design or idea and release something that can actually be used. When I see the communicator with its pre recorded sentences I can’t help but think that they could have done a hell of a lot better.

Can you tell me when these new items will be for sale in Canada as I am very interested in them!

I already have all the items sold here to date, and I am interested in completeing the various playsets such as the bridge and transporter with the missing items that were not sold here.

The best angle of the JJ-PRISE was after the credits rolled… The Kalvin on the other hand looked more fathful.

Playmates screwed up when they changed the scale of the figures to begin with. Even so, I came up with a workable idea for a holodeck playset that would be cost effective, unlike the bridge playset they did, but because of the rude way Toybiz screwed me when I made a suggestion to them, I insisted on a recordable medium for communicating my idea. They never called me, so all of you collectors out there missed out on a really cool idea/playset. Now they are using the exact concept for the new bridge playset. For a toy line based on a futuristic theme, they are at least 20 years behind me.

&284: The ship is closer to what Rodenberry first envisioned than the original Enterprise does, in fact. Part of the reason the original enterprise ended up the way it did was due to 1) A super-low budget, since Paramount couldn’t see Star Trek ever taking off as being popular they had next to no money (indeed, the transporter effect was made by running shredded pom pom’s down a mirror) and the technological limitations of the NINETEEN SIXTIES! Seriously, how can you expect anyone to try and make a film in the 23rd century and still make the sets look like a 60’s jazz lounge? If Rodenberry were alive today, Star Trek would end up the same way because all of the stuff he wanted to do, but couldn’t is in this film.

To be honest these toys are pure crap, compared to how Playmates and Art Asylum used to do the TNG/DS9 and the TOS gadgets and ships. The phaser looks like one of those nasty futuristic guns you’d find in a dime store that rattles and vibrates and lights up and is always found at the bottom of a cellar. The figures and playsets look contrived and little more than white plastic with a fews stickers thrown on. The ship isn’t as detailed as the previous playmates ships to have come out and generally the whole range looks like cheap japanese crap (which is exactly what it is). Perhaps the japanese should stick to making swirly poop toys and leave star trek alone.

Thank the “Great Bird of the Galaxy” that I am not the only one who doesn’t like this “Reinvented” Star Trek. The reason Spock looks so sad is because they took the best of Trek and turned it inside out and shoved it back together backwards!

As for the uniforms and toys I could care less…. But to take apart the “lady” of the old show and put her back together looking like a redesigned “Edsel” makes tears come to me eyes. I was so looking forward to seeing the ENTERPRISE on the big screen, revolving nacelle intakes and all, with lots of close up detail shots of the hull as she made passes in “beauty” shots of her leaving on a mission (remember STTMP?) She was the real star of the old show and deserves better than what has happened to her,a model builder’s kitbash nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that someone in the production department of Star Trek, whomever is running it these days takes notice…. The monstrosity you have hatched really stinks….When you can’t even get the main star of the show right that tells me that you had the almighty dollar in your eyes and not the fans of the old show who were expecting better….

Fire Abrams……fire Berman…….find a real fan to run Star Trek , someone who will respect the original and not try to make all of it look like the Next Generation that went on a time travel redesign bender and woke up naked the next morning with Chewbacca (sorry chewy!)

With Indiana Jones Crystal Skull sucking weiners, we got the phrase “Nuking the Fridge”. If this movie sucks, we’ll get “Beaming the Dog”.
I like all the fat boy comic book store owner comments. Just remember- if it wasn’t for the second Death Star, there would be no Ewoks.

Don’t know if anyone posted these, so I’ll do it. The first has the movie Enterprise, which I really hate. The Enterprise has no “@$$”. The second is a mod that I actually do like. No, I didn’t do it, I just like it. The tricorder and communicator are cool, but the phaser is aweful. The bridge toy looks better than the footage I’ve seen of the actual bridge, which is bright and white. Makes ya feel like you’re at an optometrists.
