The saucer section of the Enterprise opens to show a full 1966-style bridge play environment. What’s more, the body of the ship opens on the side to reveal the engineering room! Additional details, including electronics, are to be announced later, so don’t miss this sensational playset! Stage the iconic battle between the U.S.S. Enterprise and the Klingon commander over the Genesis planet, or set off on all-new space adventures! The wings can be simultaneously moved into three different positions and each are outfitted with a functioning cannon, bringing the action to life. For collector's looking to showcase rather than play, use the included pedestal or hanging system to display this piece in a spot of honor. Recommended for fans ten years and up.

On top of all that, the Playmobil Bird of Prey also includes launching ‘torpedos’ that shoot from the tips of the vessel’s wings, and integrated lighting and sound effects to bring the Klingon warship to life. With USB-C port as alternative power supply. Can be placed on a stand or hung up using an included hanging device. Even more excitingly, the model features working lights and sound effects controlled from a dedicated smartphone app. The effects are powered by a USB port mounted on the starboard side of the engineering section, a feature which Scotty would doubtless have found incredibly helpful if he'd known about it.

For activating the complete light and sound electronics, the dilithium core must be inserted into the removed container and then pushed into the designated position in the engine room. Thus a failure of the „warp core“ can be simulated. If the core is removed, an alarm sounds. Inside the ship, you can see a pretty faithful recreation of the Enterprise bridge too, complete with loads of monitors and screens, and even a holographic view screen displaying an oncoming Klingon Bird of Prey. Playmobil USS Enterprise: Price Now the legendary starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 is available in the PLAYMOBIL version as an exclusive collector's item. Of course, including the famous crew in Starfleet uniform. The PLAYMOBIL Enterprise has a bridge with rotating chair for Captain Kirk, workstations for all crew members, cell phone holder and storage compartment for phasers, communicator and other equipment. In the hull is the engine room with two stand-up workstations.

And yet... despite all that, we love it. We absolutely love the Playmobil USS Enterprise and we'd absolutely recommend it to any Star Trek fan that can afford it. Should you buy the Playmobil USS Enterprise? Ultimately, it’s not for kids at all. The people who will buy the Playmobil USS Enterprise are parents who are also Star Trek fans, and want to share that joy with their young ones, and Trekkies who like collectable models and figures, but there are a few too many kid-centric design decisions for it to be a true collectable for adults either. The AR app is definitely a kids game, and there is also no denying that Playmobil figures just look like toys - far more so than Lego minifigures do. Along with the ship itself, you also get a funky display stand that’s shaped like the Starfleet logo, along with a few alternative build pieces that allow you to hang the ship from your ceiling. This is a welcome addition for a model kit that’s nearly three feet long - most people will struggle to find space to store and display it, so giving you a way to put it where it belongs - in the sky - is a nice touch. Interestingly, while its default display mode is atop a Starfleet base, this massive Enterprise will also come with optional ceiling-mount display cables to let it hang above you once in your home — which for a starship that’s more than three feet long, may be the best option for many collectors.

It wasn't quite a five-year mission, but we've finally built the Playmobil USS Enterprise and it's everything we wanted and more.

Yes, it's true this kit has a kid-focused design and lots of play-worthy figurines, and is quite expensive for a toy. We found in our play test, however, that the Bird of Prey vessel itself is a little too large to be played with properly, at least in a child's hands, making this one mostly for collectors.

The model was spotted at an international trade show earlier this year, in photos shared by Luna-Skye’s Playmobil World in May: Playmobil’s Klingon Bird of Prey on display at a trade show. (Photo: Luna-Skye’s Playmobil World) All that wiring you have to do is worth the trouble too, because the Enterprise has loads of lights and sound effects for you to enjoy. The warp nacelles light up and the collection of multicoloured LEDs that sits behind the orange translucent front does a great job of replicating the look of the original series’ Enterprise engines. The top and bottom of the saucer section also light up with white LEDs (the top gets its illumination from the lights in the bridge). Measuring at just shy of 40 inches (more than 1 meter!) long, 19 inches (48 centimeters) wide and 13 inches (34 cm) wide, this is truly an awesome centerpiece model — and it comes with a display stand and a wire so you can suspend the model from the ceiling.

Should you buy the iconic Klingon warship?

This Playmobil set is the ultimate for any "Star Trek" fan because it works perfectly for both playing and as a centerpiece model. Figures of the original crew can be used to recreate classic scenes or to make your own, as the roof of the model is removable. The bridge is playable and the model features lighting and sound effects, which means there are hours of fun to be had with this set.
