Photos at the link below. Looks really great, with a full bridge and engineering, although unless the photos don't show them, including the transporter room and sickbay would've been really clutch. I certainly would have killed for this when I was younger (and since I have zero room for it, I'll likely pass on it).

Playmobile is stepping up their game and going where no one has gone before with this new exclusive Star Trek Enterprise playset which will run you $499.99. The set is slated for release in September and is available for pre-order from Entertainment Earth. Check out the official description and images below.

Where's Captain Kirk? Why he's on the bridge of the Playmobil 70548 Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Playset! Quite possibly the biggest and most deluxe Playmobil playset created up to this point, this 42-inch long, 18-inch wide starship includes electronic lights and sounds that can be controlled by your smart device! It includes a display cradle, plus wire for ceiling suspension if that's your preferred means of display. The set includes a marvelous ship modeled after its appearance on the original series, plus figures and accessories. You'll get Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Ensign Chekov, Lt. Uhura, Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Lt. Sulu, and of course Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scott" Scotty. That's a lot of fun in one big box!

The saucer section of the Enterprise opens up to show a full 1966-style bridge play environment. What's more, the body of the ship opens up on the side to show you an engineering room. Other accessories and electronic surprises are coming as well, so don't miss the iconic ship!

136 pieces. Ages 10 and up.

-Electronic lights and sounds controlled by your smart device via an exclusive app!
-Includes seven unique figures - Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov!

Yes, this can't be pitched at anything other than the adult nostalgia market. Can't see many kids wanting a toy (even if a reasonable price) from a 55yo TV show. Maybe a JJPrise move version might do better (again, at a reasonable price) but then the initial success of the first two followed by the fall-off in numbers the third got would make that an equally unlikely proposition.
