Interesting and mildly entertaining. May 02, 2009
By M. Ancil
"Cobras' Firefly"
I just purchased this item today and can honestly say it is better than "The Bridge Playset". You can see my review on the "Bridge" as well. Once again with this set you get a cheap plastic mat but the "movie sounds" and overall appearance are great.
Unlike the Bridge, with this set a kid can actually play with it and get involved and there's not as much equipment (pieces) that could get lost or broken. Like the Bridge, you have to collect the "Galaxy" figure set to complete the overall appearance, but with this set, if you have the 10 figures you are only missing one piece that in the scheme of things is almost trivial.
This set when moved around looks completely different and not only is it fun to play with but equally great for display. *NOTE for those who don't pay too much attention, take the inserted cardboard piece of Kirk out of the transport tube before trying to use*. The added feature of connecting the control panel to the "stage", and having buttons on said control panel that activate the lights and sounds is definitely COOL. However the display image on the box and backs of the "Galaxy" figures is a bit misleading. The display image shows it looking as it should when completely put together, but in this mode the control panel buttons do not work, however, on the instruction sheet it explains this.
Here again I took a piece of matte finish gold poster board, and laid the mat on it, then laid a piece of clear plastic board like Plexiglas on top. This mat is much smaller than the Bridge mat, so it cost me .89 cents for the board and $2 for the plastic overlay at a local hobby shop.
Overall, this is a fun toy to play with and display.

 Beam me up (if you can). May 11, 2009
By US PhotoGuy
I think this is a really cool toy, with some design flaws.
Firstly, the control panel will not activate the transporter, even when plugged into the base. Secondly, the transporter is a pretty tight fit for most of the figures. (Nero looks very uncomfortable.) Finally, I bought all of the figures to complete the round base, but once the base is completed it no longer fits into background that holds the transporter.
Overall, cool concept, decent construction...some design flaws.
Bottomline, still fun, but don't feel compelled to get the extra pieces.

 Fun for Display! Apr 11, 2011
By E. Kennedy
My mom is a huge Star Trek fan so we got her this for her birthday. She enjoyed putting it together and now has it displayed in a cabinet. Fun for collectors! Nice detailing and the sounds are great!
