The Playmates toys were such a big part of my Star Trek fandom in the 90's. They were everywhere and I had so much fun collecting them. The Enterprise was the first one I remember getting. 🖖
eBay isn't doing anyone any favors with the prices to buy them. Since Playmates shut down production on Star Trek licensed toys, even the old ones have shot up in value.
Back in the day, I bought three of the 1992 D's because I love the Galaxy class that much; still have them too. I also like their sound effect set the most out of all of the Playmates Trek ships. Long live the Galaxy class!
Great video. Agree with your rant. I waited and picked one up at Target for $39.99. They had two others and seems to have had a few in stock for the last few weeks. I love the lighting effect on the new one but lacks some detail of the 1992 version.
That's great! I've looked casually at toy departments in other stores and Star Trek stuff in general is just non-existent, let alone either the TOS or TNG Enterprises from Playmates. I'm glad you got one! The lighting is great, but I just don't know what they were thinking with like the ENTIRE underside.
I have this and the Klingon Vor'cha one. My wife got them for me back in the 90s. My ships are perfect but the boxes and contents are long gone..well most of the box..rats ate part of it in storage.
Hi I'm in the UK and I'm a collector of startrek figures. I don't have either the old or new enterprise at the moment I found It easy to get the 2022 startrek figures! The prodigy figures arrived here in August this year. I've only managed to get hold of two of them in which I paid £16 with postage. and know every where is out of stock but you mentioned about the Amazon scalpers I've been then the Amazon webb site and the other two figures I want where on there site for £44.00 and £61.00 ! At least know they have been removed from the site. Amazon in the UK has the new enterprise D on there site for £47.66 at the moment of my text for 27 October delivery.
Someone said this to me once about my in box figures and I'm feeling it now. It is a testament to your patience that it's unopened. It is a cool thing to have something from that era unopened, and it's definitely something to be proud of.
Believe it or not, but I have this very version of the Enterprise. And no this Enterprise didn´t have a stand. The once that came with a stand have been the Enterprise D models from from generations. Not the TNG version.
Try over here in Europe everything I used to buy for cheap is now over priced. Example I smoke Phillips cigars and in the states they cost $2.89 over here it's €23.67 😒 The constitution class refit had aft torpedoes also two of the phaser cannons could shoot towards the aft section but not directly behind it unlike the torpedoes.
Hi isn't that that the early playmates ships didn't have stand but the later ones did?. I wish i would of got any one of the ships but had a poor childhood.
@kenmarsh402 you may be correct about the stand. That's the good thing about getting older, you can now buy the stuff you never had. I do it each month. So far, I have a near complete He-man and the Masters of the universe, transformers, ect.
I see them pop up on ebay with stands... it is totally my fault and not the sellers because I didn't do my due diligence. They all list from '92 but with Playmates it's so hard to tell unless you were buying them at the time to make a comparison. The amount they mass produced could lead to some not coming with stands.

Had this, the Vorcha, the Bird of Prey, Enterprise B and the Dederidex as a kid. Good times.
I had this as a kid. Lost in a move :(. I miss this thing.

Loved mine back in the day, together with the shuttle, Voyager and Klingin Bird of Prey.

I had the one that converted into the D update with 3rd nacelle and the ion canon under the saucer section
I'm so sad I had this model along with a lot of others but lost them all in a house fire
I lost a lot of collectibles in an apartment fire twenty years ago. I’m so sorry that happened, but glad you are alright.

I’m in the UK and have this ‘92 model still unopened in the box!

Amazon has them in stock. If you want one with a stand
I have the same one :)
I HAVE THIS EXACT ONE!!!
Believe it or not, but I have this very version of the Enterprise. And no this Enterprise didn´t have a stand. The once that came with a stand have been the Enterprise D models from from generations. Not the TNG version.
Has anyone found a stand that will work with the 1992 model?
No one's come back with an answer to that yet! I'm holding out hope.
💯 correct!

the engines kept falling off....
Yes they don't stay on very well do they. It seems like there are a lot of them on eBay without nacelles.
I have this one, but with no stand. 2nd hand, of course. Wish I had it new, but I had no idea they did this one at the time.

Does it saucer separate??? And does the Captains Yacht detatch?
Nope and nope! This one does not separate or detach.
@@mattwest9554 Bummer, those are the best features of StarShips in Star Trek!!!
Im missing a nacel and I will forever be annoyed
