It was all over THAT site...
The iberia sites (pt+es) have this mystery product (printscreens attached):

For those who like me were puzzled by the potential significance of this, the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 was the original Star Trek ship that boldly went back in the 1960s...
I am not a trekkie, I googled this!

Well, not a trekkie either, but I assume MOST people know what "Enterprise" is? I googled it too, the "model", since I believe there are several?
I don't watch those since I was a cub.

Maybe someone in the IT department used it as a place holder.
Maybe Playmobil got the Star Trek license, but I really doubt that it would be Playmobil Plus exclusive. With a license like that, you want to reach a maximum of people.
A bridge playset along the original crew in Playmobil form would be fun.
-
That would be excellent if true. Saw the pic on Instagram and I assume it isnt klicky scale, so that would be an odd new direction to go in. They've never made collectible items that aren't part of the playworld before. If thry have the license though maybe a bridge set or a shuttle would be possible. Agree a crew set would be great
-
Gone now, of course. Hence the printscreens, right? :P

First time round I read that last sentence as "A bridge player along the original crew...."! Now that would be a niche set!

Amazing if it were to be true! :o
Btw, I´m nost a trekkie either and actually I would prefer a "USS Enterprise CVA(N)-65"
-
I am a bit of a trekkie and I would LOVE a set like that !
Or a great set of Deep Space Nine, so it can boldly stay where it staye before!

My money is on this being a joke name as a placeholder, in other words there's a new product coming that is not the Enterprise and since the name has yet to be determined the web guy (they are often Trekkies) put in the Enterprise just for fun. We have the Playmonumber so we can check back later.
Btw, I´m nost a trekkie either and actually I would prefer a "USS Enterprise CVA(N)-65"
They've broken every other "Playmo will never do X" rule, why not modern military too?
-
I think an "Enterprise"-class starship in Playmo-scale is almost impossible.
It would have to be enormously large not to look ridiculously small when you put a few klickies next to it.
Not to speak of fitting a crew inside.
They've broken every other "Playmo will never do X" rule, why not modern military too?
They´re already sneaking useful parts for that inside some sets for a while.

First pictures on Instagram this morning. It's big, not really to scale but it is big enough they put the bridge in the saucer section and a little bit of engineering down below. Has all 7 primary characters. Large and clearly for the collector market. Have to wonder what the retail price will be. Set 70548 with a date on the images of September 8 2021 for launch.

You think those are real? With the similar box on amclicks, I thought it was fake...
It's HUMONGOUS.
I am not a trekkie. I am not a trekkie. I am not a trekkie. I am not a trekkie.
I don't even LIKE Star Trek. Really.
(my wallet reminds me I don't like Ghostbusters either, or Scooby, or BTTF. ::) )
-
I just can't believe it! I mean, I read the thing about the little teaser on the Spanish Playmobil website... But with the pictures, it seems accurate :o! As a huge Star Wars fan, I don't know if there's a market for a Star Trek Playmobil toy line?
I mean, the ship looks nice, but it has been released by other toy brands in a similar way.
Now, if they can make this, they can make a new Western Train, ... I mean come on! So let's hope for the BTTF train ;D
-
Thanks for the heads-up. Now I need to find some pics. :picsplz:

Saw the pics from Amclicks (link on KW). Not 100% sure yet what to believe, as there was also a pic of a Revell box that looked very similar.
'Woody' said on KW he has other sources which confrim the release-date of 8 Sept. 21, which I was told would be exactly 55 years after the starship USS Enterprise reached it´s first frontier (the TV-screen).
Large and clearly for the collector market. Have to wonder what the retail price will be.
I guesstimate an item (starship) of such a size (plus a crew of 7 klickies) and released under license will be VERY expensive.
-
The Klickies in the pictures looked like basic fan customs.
I'll wait for the official announcement to get excited, though it is encouraging...
-
It’s official!!! The next online shop started the preordering!!! Price: 499.99 dollars! :o :o :o

-
:o
Is that legit?
-
As far as I know, this will be the most expensive Playmobil set so far? Am I right?
And not only the the most expensive one, probably also the biggest one:
Over 40" long by 16" wide = about 1m long and 40cm wide :o
Fortunately I’m a Star Wars fan (but I dare not to hope for a Millemium Falcon)... But I really enjoyed the last Star Trek movies.
-
Phew, I'm glad I'm not a huge "Star Trek" fan, that price is quite steep.
Honestly speaking I'm not into most of the "franchizes" so far.
-
It is the biggest and most expensive set ever indeed, and probably the most expensive product wave to date too, even though its just one set.
It is huge but more intended as a display item for a select collector audience than a play set.
-
Deluxe Toy & Hobby has pre-ordered one for me.
-
$500? That's a very ambitious project.
Even Hasbro made some kickstarter/preorder campaigns when they recently released such expensive pieces for Star Wars and Transformers and both lines are backed by a lots of collectors who have deep, very deep pockets.
While I love Playmobil, I'm not sure that the collecting crowd is as... motivated. Maybe if you add the Trekkies/Trekkers to the ranks it makes enough people to warrant such a big piece.
A separate bridge set and a separate transporter room might be more my alley as I have no idea how I could display this big ship...
-

I'm assuming that this is aimed primarily at people who buy Star Trek stuff, rather than people who buy Playmobil, if that makes sense (because for that amount of money you can buy A LOT of Playmobil)
-
With that kind of price tag I’d expect the price on this one to be slashed faster than you can say ‘to boldly go …’
Still haven’t seen any pics, but considering it’ll just be a lump of plastic (albeit a huge one) the price is very very steep. And for a mass-market toy available at retail (as opposed to a limited run, collector’s product) it is doubly so.
We’ll see …
-

I'm assuming - based solely on the price tag to be honest - that this will be limited edition (they have done the odd limited edition run before)
You'd hope that they've done a fair amount of research on this, since if it's a right off they can't use the moulds for anything else.
-
Let’s just say the Megaconstrux Star Trek sets from a couple of years ago didn’t exactly fly off the shelves. I’m a casual Star Trek fan but I’d be reluctant to devote so much space to a ST toy. It’s bad enough already that my Lego UCS Falcon is still in its box, too big to display, and I’m a much bigger SW fan.

It's confirmed by somebody who works at Playmobil Belgium.
"70548 Star Trek - U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701

Thanks for the update.
I´m still in doubt what to do. I like it but it´s a lot of money. I´m interested in the universe and in space-travel, but I´m not specifically a fan of Star Trek or such. And it´s a (very) big set, if it is indeed over 1 m in length. My trimaster 'La Redoutable' has a total length of about 1,05 m (with bowsprite) and it´s hull is about 0,65 m. The big/huge 'Santisma Trinidad'´s hull (without the bowsprite) is about 110 cm in length... These ships take up a lot of space.
And what if one of the next years Geobra releases 'HMS Bounty' 8}

After Enterprise, will a classic Klingon or Romulan ship be coming up? I always fancied the Klingon ship & had the Aurora model as a kid.
-
I'm so curious about the market study that went behind this set.
It'll be so huge and expensive. It'll be more that double the price of a knight castle.

Yeah, tribbles, just saw that episode on TV the other day. Everything moves so slowly on old TV shows, we've gotten so used to fast cuts and non stop action. The more I see of the set the more I want it, but that price!
-
I wonder if the additional sets will include Expendables (those crew members used for planet exploration you just knew would not be coming back!)?

When I first saw that I imagined Stallone :love: and Lundgren :love: ... but I suppose you mean red shirts? :P
WILL there be additional sets?
-
I can’t help but have mixed feelings about this set. I feel like I AM the target demographic for this set: an adult Playmobil collector and a huge Star Trek fan that has other nerdy Star Trek toys around. I must be the type of customer they were going for. But as that target demographic, I don’t know about this. Its cool, but it’s very expensive and very big. Where would I even put it? I would much rather have had a stand alone bridge playset that I could display on my shelf. Maybe a transporter room playset or a small planet set with fake looking rocks, plants, and aliens. And they have done such a good job with vehicles lately (mystery machine, ecto-1, etc.) that I feel like they could have done a great shuttlecraft. Maybe some of these ideas will come later, but if their sales fall short with this giant who knows?
-
Thanks for the link with extra pics!

I´m thinking exactly the same...
Also, if I knew they would never again release such a big/expensive collectors item, I might go for it. But like said before, what if they release more sets in this class later one? I don´t want to miss out on e.g. an 'HMS Trimaster' or a 'Mississippi Steamer' in 2022 or 2023 because I spent my money and space in 2021 on Kirk´s Enterprise.
-

They all had the same colour shirt on didn't they? Was it red? :lol:

I guess if the Enterprise is a succes, we definitely might expect other collector sets in this price range. Personally I will wait for other possible treats... I still think it might be possible they will do the BTTF train after the Enterprise... That's a yes to me!
-
I wish that they would have done just a bridge playset instead. Space, not the final frontier, but the store/display space is getting smaller each year.
-
As someone who watched the original Star Trek when it was first broadcast, who actually shed tears because Spock could not love, and whose world-view was forever shaped by the message in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield," I will definitely get this set. 8-)
-
As a collector I'm very excited about this set. The price tag is a bit much, but it's such a unique thing for Playmobil to do. I can't wait to get this.
As a shop owner, I'm very concerned about people being able to afford the set, but can't imagine not ordering any. I ended up placing an order for 5 units, 1 of which I am buying for myself for Christmas. I'm hoping the others can find good homes too.

Me and my brothers also watched it when first broadcast. It was a very significant piece of TV. What I loved was the way things I had read about in Sci-Fi novels and short stories were there on the screen- the transporter beams, scanners to detect life, medical diagnostic scanners, needle-less injections, faster-than-light travel, etc. Nevertheless, I did not become a 'Trekkie' and cannot boldly go out to buy this set.

From a Dutch news item (source: https://tweakers.net/geek/183346/playmobil-lanceert-star-trek-uss-enterprise-speelset.html?fbclid=IwAR0zQRFKTYZzyZzcW7w7YWyPoZ5NDqu15dzWKQj_wXIP6ubJNikXJnxPHAA):
Naast het ruimteschip bevat de set de speelfiguren Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, Chekov, Lt. Uhura, James T. Kirk, Spock, Lt. Sulu en Montgomery "Scotty" Scott. Bovendien belooft Playmobil dat er meer accessoires op komst zijn, dus wellicht vult het bedrijf deze aan met bijvoorbeeld Klingons of Romulans.
Translated (the bold part):
In addition, Playmobil promises that more accessories are on the way, so perhaps the company will supplement these with, for example, Klingons or Romulans. :o
-
I don't know enough about Star Trek, but it would seem stupid not to release other, smaller sets (like famous aliens).
-
Absolutely, why get the license for only one set? Harvey Mudd with Dribbles, Klingons, Romulans, that salt monster, the white ape with th horn, and so on. Loads of possibilities even just from the original series.
-
I am not familiar with ST aliens (know klingons) but I am all for it! :)
-
Why make the phasers and Spock's hair for only one limited set.
We'll probably get a transporter room, every Star Trek toy lines had a transporter room :) A Galileo shuttle could be fun.

Would love to - but the price (est. 500 Euro according to the article) is way to deer for me :(.
Pity as it really looks good!
Hopefully they will release a number of good looking sets seperately!

Star Trek: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Playmobil set Enterprise. Its five thousand unit mission: to explore strange new markets. To seek out new customers and new profits. To boldly sell where no toy has sold before!
-
I can't believe this will actually be a thing. Part of me wants it, but - you know - money, space, adulting. Realistically, I just want to play with it for about a month.
-
Wonder if they'll do a Borg Cube! That would be a lot easier to make that the Enterprise ;D

-
I am still confused about this set. Part of me cries "I want that, I need that, I always wanted ST Playmobil!" another part of me tells me "this price is ridiculous, where shall I put it, where are all those great small and medium sized ST sets?"
And I wonder what Playmobil think they are doing? After treating the collector community not very well in the past they suddenly pop out a collector's dream (theme, size) and nightmare (price, size) at the same time. Star Trek is so much more than just a giant Enterprise model and to me this licence makes only sense if they make a whole line out of it.
Yes, all of this is very exiting but I don't know what to make of it. What else do they have in the pipeline for the collector market? Do they have a pipeline? What will happen if this set fails (which is quite possible at this pricing)?
-
The original Star Trek show was more focused on the adventures of the characters in various environments than showing the actual ship cruising around.
The shots of the actual ship in space were more used as transitions between scenes, so while the ship's bridge is a key set of the franchise, making a whole ship might've been ambitious. Plus at this size, how am I supposed to swoosh it around the house?
I would be more interested sets of characters in memorable set ups. They did release a four pack of figures for Ghostbusters, maybe we'll be lucky and they'll do it for Star Trek as well.
-
A selection of Klingons would be good...but which era? The 1960s versions, 1980s to early 2000s, or the ones that are particularly weird from the Discovery series.

I hope it does well, I wont be buying any, I'd rather have ones from Voyager or Deep Space Nine, I hope they look at Stargate at some point.

It's up on the Canadian website. $800 cnd before taxes. I can't justify that on a single piece... sadly.

The Defiant battling against a Jem'Hadar battle ship, those would be doable on a Playmobil scale.
But I guess if we see any more Star Trek products, it will be from one of the recent revival series :-/

$499.99 on the US site.

It is gonna be hard to justify that $499 but I'm sure I'll find a way :lol:
-
Now you can pre-order it from the German website. Delivery date is September 8th, the price is set at € 499.99. Which makes this very easy for me: it's just not worth the money. At 299 I would be tempted (would still be pricey, though), but 500 euros for a Playmobil set is out of this world.
-
Well ... my sis has ordered one (she's not only a Playmoholic but also definitly a trekkie) and is already clearing space for it - it's going into her living room, to boldly go where no one has gone before; dangling from the ceiling in a slight breeze.
And it is true: no one has done that before in her house.
Well, not as far as I know and she wouldn't keep any secret from me, I hope ;D

Yes, that is obviously the point where there is no decision to be made.
If it was the Galactica (original) - or even the Serenity - instead of Enterprise.. well. Sorry wallet. No decision there. Well, might have to decide which kidney to sell, but that is a different level of decision, right? :P
-
Cant wait .... just cant wait...
After the amazing Porsches that Playmobil brought us and the VWs which are also awesome now this ... cant wait....
Imagine if we see playmobil stormtroopers and tie fighters and x wings as well one day !!!! :love: :love: :love:

"The 148-piece USS Enterprise measures 39-inches long and features numerous light and sound effects, as well as dialog from the original show.

If it came with a smartphone included, THEN the price would be justified, but as it is, nope.

Perhaps they should produce a version without the bells and whistles for say half the price.

YES. Can we have that for ALL the sets? The amount of useless blinkie-winkies is RIDICULOUS.
-
I want everything but the ship itself. If it was cheaper I would get it but can't justify the price or the size for that matter. Hopefully they will release additional smaller sets at lower price points to maximize the sales potential for the license.
If anyone gets it but doesn't want the tribbles I will buy them off you. Or if anyone spots them from an eBay seller please let me know. They are just pompoms in brown but I really want them for Animobil (and my collection) which is just silly but there you have the collector mentality in a nutshell I guess.

-
I'm in the same boat, the interesting part for me is the actual bridge with the figures.
This is where the big play value is. The engine room could easily have been another set instead of being a small closet with a sticker background.

On the official site you can sign up for an 'alert' for when it's back in stock, but I think they do that for discontinued sets too so it might not mean anything.

We got a handful of units at the toy store where I work (mine is on the way in the mail) and our rep says the rest are coming. I wouldn't worry too much yet.

The Enterprise is pretty great - mine showed up. About 3-4 hours to assemble, wire, and sticker. The figures would be great if sold separately, mostly so they can go beam down and harass your other figures.
The ship itself isn't as impressive as some of the $10,000 prop replicas I've seen at trade shows, but the electronics are staggeringly good and the ship's plastic has that Playmobil feel - a hard-to-describe texture - that just plain works. Other than the saucer being a little thick, It's a pretty great replica.
As there are no announced other sets I started digging out other sets, and I found some of the dinosaur scenery and Super 4 plants made for great "planet" environments. I think these almost look more Star Trek than a licensed Star Trek set would look.

The figs look great in your alien set-up; I have two of those Super4 sets (one still unopened). I get my Enterprise next weekend; it's been on lay-away since Sept, & I've made space for it in the living room.

Looking forward to pics... Hope you make a detailed review of Spock's head! Like, pics of the inside, too! :P

While Spock's Brain was sadly not included, the head is a new one. Ears are molded to the head itself, the hair is a separate, rubbery element. The eyes and mouth are painted, not molded on. There are no indentations of any kind of goggles, earrings or other accessories.
Sadly the phasers are completely unpainted, I expected a little bit of color on them.
The other figures are all very much standard issue. I would've liked some specialized hair, maybe they'll consider it for future set releases.

Here are some Spock photos. Can't wait for the BTTFIII calendar.
-
And have two more.

Thank you for the pictures, nice to see the ears seeing as they were such an iconic part of his costume
-
And here are a few more shots I took from messing around with some of the figures and the ship. It took me about 3-4 hours to assemble/sticker it.

Looks great, thanks for all the photos.
-
Ears look good. So it begs the question, if they could do ears, why can’t they also do noses?

Thank you so much for the pics! I was dying to see that in detail! Saw several reviews, but they all centered on the ship, and to a playmobil collector (or is it just me?), that head is certainly the biggest novelty (like the asian guy's on the 007 or BA's on the A-Team van).
I didn't know the hair was the rubbery sort! :o Makes it easier to handle, but it attracts every speck of dirt in a LARGE radius (and I fear it won't last 40 years).
As I feared (and expected), cheap painted head. He looks great though :love: I really hope that klicky somehow finds his way to my grabby hands (along with some friends ;D )

I agree. Thanks for the pictures of Spock's head and the other figures. Sadly, it is unlikely I will get my hands on them any time soon.
So... Adam, would it be OK to use your photos of Spock in an update of my Guide to Hair Types on here. AND (just askin') post them on Klickywelt too?
No royalties, sorry. :-[

As long as the watermarks stay, my pretties may fly far and wide.

I don't have a big enough studio for the Enterprise, but I did post some comparison shots. One shows it with the old Playmospace set, a more recent Volcano, and the Future Planet space playset.
The other has it next to HasLab Unicron and a 2 liter bottle of carbonated water for scale.

This is a wonderful collectors item :love:
-
But how is it ?

More like why is it

I think it’s one of the first sets dedicated to the adult collector fan. It’s an affordable license fee to test the waters. How many parents would buy such an expensive set for a child? I believe even the ad was geared towards adults. All the other licensed sets were priced below $100 and had a kids appeal.

On sale, of course, after I bought it, but I assumed that would be the case at one point. The sale price is still a chunk of cash that would've been hard to pay at once, so I'm glad I did it on layaway.

Thank you for the sale tip. I went to order it at Amazon. Couldn’t set up an account due to being in the mountains and only having a satellite connection . Got back to the city house and the sale was down to 5% . Damn . It was a great sale at $140 off
Hopefully they do it again :crossed:
