Here’s a better Star Trek trainset idea:

A monorail set (based on the shape of the shuttlecraft from STV: The Final Frontier) bearing the name Nortrak (based on Amtrak, but instead now called North American Rail Corporation). This set would come complete with pylons, lights. the whole shmeer. As for the decals, it would say ‘Nortrak’ and then in smaller script, ‘United Earth Republic Transit Authority’ ending with the United Earth Republic symbol. This set would also contain a sound-effects card that would say out station destinations, and all the other stuff you hear on a train now and would most definitely hear on a train then in that future.

Another train set inspired by/based on/suggested by Star Trek would be a bullet train in the similar colors as mentioned above. Actually. I would love to see a maglev (magnetic levitation) trainset inspired by/based on/suggested by Star Trek, but considering how maglev’s haven’t even been built yet for ordinary transportation, there’s no way a company could make a maglev trainset-it would probably cost a thousand dollars and then some. So, the two types of trainset I’ve mentioned would have to be what we get; both are better than this POS made just to slap ‘Star Trek’ and sell it as merchandise.

It’s not. It’s crap. And worse, it’s overpriced, simply because it says “Star Trek” on it.

Don’t you folks get it? It’s the first time in a while that manufacturers are actually producing copious amounts of Trek merchandise. Ok, so some of it isn’t your cup of tea but is it really necessary to be so nasty about it? So smugly superior? So high school?
