Playmobil and LEGO were staples of my childhood, I can’t believe there are so-called toy collectors out there who dislike Playmobil figures and want them changed?? Playmobil is an icon of toy history!

I saw this at our local toy store (we actually HAVE a toy store again in Dallas). It's marvelous. I would never have said this as a kid, but man, Playmobil is nailing it right now.

I had never heard about this before turning a corner in Hamleys in London and coming face to face with it on display. I practically dropped to my knees. It is spectacular.

The amount of love you poured into this review is present in every frame, bow to stern. From the shot you created of her in drydock to the crew watching the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, this was a thing of beauty. Thank you again for the very touching dedication and for all the journeys, past, present, and future.🖖

Playmobil sets the standard for handling toy licenses. Its not perfect, but its a good balance of toy details, play features, and accessories.

The best toy channel on KZfaq and it’s not close

My daughter bought me this for Christmas/birthday. She, my Mom and I really enjoyed putting it together, and It makes me smile every time I look at my dining room table. I've even made custom Klingons & Gorns. I really hope we see a shuttlecraft, a Sickbay & Transporter room playsets, and aliens! I'd LOVE to see a Klingon Battlecrusier.

This toy is amazing! I need to find an excuse get one. I am 60 years old. The thought they put into the design is nuts. Thank you for the review!

I’m shocked by the level of detail and even more by the sheer amount of functionality, one of the best play sets I’ve seen in a long time 👍🏽

Playmobil puts other toy companies to shame, with their incredible Classic Star Trek Enterprise. And Michael knows exactly how to comprehensively review such an awesome toy!

I never played with Playmobil so it is such a shock to hear that they have made what sounds like a perfect toy.

The Playmobil Enterprise is on my wish list and their version of `Knight Rider` is already on pre-order - absolutely loving their ip related stuff at the moment and long may it continue.

I had many Playmobile sets that I loved playing with,while in grade school during the 70’s.Their toys were always some of my favorites.If this Enterprise had come out then,I’d have lost my mind!

But remember Michael, “you can’t sell large vehicle based toys at retail anymore” great video.

The Playmobil Enterprise is out of my price range, but I have an Ecto 1, a Delorean, a Ghostbusters Headquarters, and several of the smaller licensed sets. They're just good, fun toys. They're made well, have tons of play value, and look great.

Whilst Star Trek isn’t my jam, I can certainly appreciate the beauty, engineering, and sheer spectacular presence this piece has, playmobil sets in my opinion give some of the best value for money, as well as best play value when it comes to toys that are on the market today. Brilliant review Michael. And damn you!!! Now I’m on eBay looking at playmobil sets! 🙆🏻‍♂️😂

Mr. T in the Time Machine is a show I would definitely watch. Also, I definitely see the lack of secure seating as a feature. When you shook the Enterprise and all went flying around the bridge, it looked VERY accurate to the show. I love the look of this toy. I hope to get it some day.

The Playmobil Enterprise is the closest vehicle/playset to what has been in my imagination since I was a kid. It's really nice. Thanks for the detailed review!

Ok NOW i understand the price tag. That is an amazing toy!!!!

I'm not all that big of a Star Trek fan, nor am I a toy collector, but I really want this!

I have the Galoob 3 3/4 scale Enterprise D prototype that includes the bridge, engineering section, medical bay and working transporter room. It’s an amazing toy that sadly never made it to market because of poor ratings of the first two seasons of ST:TNG. That said, I recently picked up this Playmobil Enterprise and it is a true beauty. As a playset person, and former Galoob designer, it does the Enterprise proud. This thing is a pure piece of art that somehow got made in this sadly declining world of large scale, large tooling toys. Playmobil is the only toy company that knows that playsets still have a place in the hearts of kids and collectors alike. Thank you for posting this video and echoing my thoughts about this piece and your continued love of playsets.

I bought this amazing Toy last October and my jaw still hits the floor every time I look at it. As a 39 Year old Man and life long Star Trek fan, this is the Toy I dreamed of as a kid. Recently I seen Playmobil teasing the Bird Of Prey on Facebook. So.... that's a thing

I love the cutesy aesthetic of the Playmobil figures. They all have that cute smile on their faces.

Great video, and I 100% agree with the "fun" of putting this together. I was so impressed with the instructions and placing the (amazingly accurate) stickers on the bridge was a labor of love for this classic trek fan. You can really tell that the company LOVES the properties they license, and spare no expense at the "big bet" of making the best toy they can for each and every one. I really hope your video encourages more folks to buy this set. Because, like you, I want a Playmobil scale refit Enterprise!

RetroBlasting has done some excellent video's in the past, but this is now my new favourite (high praise indeed). I can completely relate to Michaels passion for the franchise and the product. I salute Playmobil for doing a toy that I've yearned for for decades . Fantastic product, I hope it sells well, and another brilliant video! Well done! 😀

it's INSANE how great Playmobil's vehicle lines have been. I hadn't bought Playmobil since I was a kid, but these things have got me spending. The Enterprise is a bit out of my price range, but I respect the hustle.

I’ve always loved Playmobil (collected them since the 90s as an adult) and have always hoped they’d get the Star Wars license.

Wow, I absolutely love this! What an amazing design! Excellent review! Thanks for sharing!👍

It's always such a treat when I see you gush over a product and give kudos to its quality because I know it's genuine and I can trust it must be great quality indeed. I live vicariously thru your collecting.

Another astounding video featuring a truly amazing product. Where was THIS when I was a kid? Oh to be that age again right now. Thank you VERY much for this one!

I love to see Playmobil star wars even night rider.Good show thx for putting us on to all this great 👍 info.

Great review, man. I always enjoy your enthusiasm for the toys you review and it really comes through in this video. This reminds me of the GIANT space 1999 Eagle I had as a kid. Just a massive fun spaceship that could, with both hands, be swooshed around the house while holding the entire crew. Good times.

Holy hell, I had no idea the ship did all those things. No one else has ever mentioned it, thank you 👍

Love how Playmobil made the Star Trek figures. They did a great job on this toy. Great review

Playmobil pulled off what nobody else could be bothered. BRAVO!!!

(Sung to the Honeycomb cereal song) En-ter-prise big, yeah yeah yeah! It's not small, no no no! Playmobil has, the big big size! Fit your figures in, a big big En-ter-prise!

Playmobil has always Been Awsome:) God Bless Playmobil and Malta!

My jaw almost hit the floor when it first cut to you talking next to that huge enterprise with the blinking lights. Wow! 10 year old me is so jealous.

They are totally nailing it with not just these licenses but toy design in general, with so many companies it's like they've forgotten what toys are at the core. I completely agree about that false expectation "You want Playmobil to do what, are you crazy?". O_o??? I've enjoyed their figures picking up some from each of the waves sometimes, think they've evolved well. Do kind of wish for more "eye twinkle" like their movie characters but it's been a point of contention breaking from the original simple faces. Personally I'd like to see more flourishes like modern Lego in the face prints at least for the licensed sets, think that might help increase their general appeal.

I’m glad Playmobil is still around, this set looks great.

the level of detail into this original enterprise playmobil set is amazing

I had no idea it was gonna be such an awesome toy! The thought that's gone into it is staggering! Great video review.

The love and enthusiasm throughout the video is infectious, and I love it!

I was on e bay looking for this before I got halfway through your review. A beautiful, sympathetic and classically realised homage to what a toy, model and tribute to the show should be!

How wonderful to have this company that has the guts to go where no-one has gone before!!! A truly great toy company that never disappoints!! The figures identify this range-- leave them alone. To seat them just stick magnets on their bums and a washer glued to the seats,(which are literally banned by the toy trade, how far do people want to go?). Great entertaining promo feature AGAIN, so keep these coming!!!

Anybody else love how the figures’ shaggy Battlestar Galactica hair reflects how the crew’s hair might’ve evolved had TOS lasted into the 1970’s? You can more easily imagine their adventures from toward the end of that five year mission now! Thanks for the review! What an awesome play set! I hope it does well!

Excellent review Michael. I’ve always liked playmobile products.

I LOVED that you put “Bilbo” sung by Spock on the screen for the bridge to enjoy 😂

Thanks for highlighting this. This looks great

🥷🏻🥺 Thanks to your (Retroblasting) PLAYMOBIL GHOSTBUSTERS vids, I’m a proud Patron of modern PLAYMOBIL; of which I display, play, and create Visual Storytelling-based Full Motion Videos. This set, (TOS) ENTERPRISE, I wanted badly, but I had no budget for it when I first learned of it months ago. Alas, I’m excited for this video and happy to see it in your (Michael) collection!

Thanks for another great video. I love how they integrated lights and sounds in the toy!

Sometimes it feels like Playmobil watches your videos 😂👍

Bro that A-Team van is crazy good looking.

Love this video. RetroBlasting's production values shine. There was a Star Trek knock-off-Lego series that came out for the first couple of reboot movies - Kreo. It was right when Lego had lost the patent protection of their bricks' 'studs & tubes' clutch mechanism, and suddenly everyone and their granny were making knock-off Lego-compatible building brick toys. Kreo was Hasbro. Anyway, they had a USS Enterprise where you could open the saucer to reveal seating for about five 'Kreons', their version of Lego Minifigs. There were a few other sets - a USS Vengeance from Into Darkness, a Klingon Bird of Prey from the same film, as well as an Enterprise & Klingon Battle Cruiser set; a shuttlecraft, and then a couple of dioramas. But they looked awful. Not least because the proportions of the JJ-Verse Enterprise are hideous, but because they were trying to do it in Lego to a small scale, which just looks equally awful. Couldn't have sold very well, because they only did those few sets and then the line died.

Hi Michael! -beautiful video! -as always; Mon Capitan! So many great ST references :) loved the ST-III intro visual, your verbal nods, classic cut-aways, comping the Playmobil Enterprise into drydock- LOL! - and you built it to the Jerry Goldsmith STTMP OST, -spectacular piece of music :) Awesome! Thanks Man x - love to Retrobalasting, Star Trek, and Playmobil -want one now ;)

Loved my Playmobil pirate ship in the 80's the quality was 2nd to none. Was a constant fixture in the bath lol ✌🏼

I had couple of Star Trek action figures in the 70s, and they were big compared to later Star Wars ones by Kenner, and always wanted the Enterprise playset that came with the transporter room.

An awesome set and great vid, thanks very much

A proper Playmobil Indiana Jones set would be superb. Loved the Enterprise review!

I think this Enterprise deserves to be called Magnificent

this is a thing of absolute beauty. great video Michael.

I’m not a playmobil fan, I’m not big on action figures or licensed themes, but this thing is great. It feels like a time capsule in the best way, it’s like looking at a brand new toy from the 70’s or something. There’s something special about that I think

I LOVE the Star Trek III reference at the beginning. NICE TOUCH!

Another great video as always !

This has been teased for months while Indy realized it's vision. This is a home run. Playmobil is the future of vintage reimaginings. The illustrious Michael French strikes gold again.

This is the most incredible thing I have ever seen. - Butthead

WOW... and here i remember playmobil as being for really really little children. Yet with lines like A Team, Knight rider, Back to the Future and Star Trek... I am changing my opinion on them. Id love to see a playmobil Airwolf.

I agree. There's nothing wrong with Playmobil's figures. They are as Playmobil as GI Joe figures are GI Joe. Props to them for making such generic figures look so individualistic. In this day of hyper-realistic figures, it's nice to have a toy that looks like a toy, and clearly is doing what it can to look like the real thing at the same time. I never had much Playmobil as a kid, but man, I wish we'd had these things!

Thanks a lot, Michael, for this video! I love Star Trek and I also love Playmobil, Lego and Mega Construx. You are probably my most favourite 'negative KZfaqr'. :-D Just teasing and referring to one of your previous videos. :-D

Thanks for your consistently amazing work.

BRILLIANT! That's it. Totally INCREDIBLE and absolutely amazing! All other toy companies should take notes and then feel ashamed of themselves. Thanks for this review. As usual, extremely well done!

Thank you for the video - made up for an ugly day at work 😊. It’s awesome that you listened to Jerry Goldsmith’s soundtrack while assembling this - I used to listen to my Return of the Jedi cassette soundtrack while basement building SW models in the 80s lol.

Nice homage at the beginning 👍🏻🖖🏻.

Man, that is one AMAZING toy that I'd love to send to my younger self, even like in the late 90's. 😎 Wasn't someone making youtube videos with this thing lately? Did I dream that? 😆

Playmobile have also done a beautiful-looking James Bond Aston Martin DB5, with all the gadgets from Goldfinger & Thunderball.

Wonderful review! It's very apparent that the Playmobil designers that work on these licensed products are fans on some level. The extra love and little details always make me smile.

I still have my mego Enterprise bridge play set from the 70s. How I would have loved this as a kid. I kind of love it now lol

This looks amazing and is loaded with fun features! This must have been a blast to assemble. Playmobil has been able to recreate the iconic U.S.S. Enterprise and pack in many wonderful aspects of Star Trek I remember fondly. Thanks for this great review.

Great review and very nice dedication to Mr. Shaffer. I need to get that Enterprise. I love what Playmobil has been doing lately. Besides their licensed toys, they're doing their own version of Dino Riders and a Greek mythology range that includes an Argo and a huge Mount Olympus play set. Great stuff.

OMG! That is beautiful!!

I love your review. Thanks for giving me a look at this great new toy

I only ever got Playmobil toys on holiday in Europe. This looks like the greatest toy ever.

Great episode RETRO MAN. That toy is a boss!

thanks for this fantastic video, a beautiful Homage....awesome

I'm glad that Playmobil is finally getting the spotlight it rightfully deserves. I've watched most if not all of your videos on their products and hope you will do more videos on them.

The level of awe you describe I experienced with Playmobil Asterix sets. I never intended to collect Playmobil but I am pretty hooked now. Incoming Magnum P.I. Ferrari looks also like a perfect representation of the show.

@RetroBlasting I missed out on winding Michael up, I was going to try and get myself Banned by wishing him a "HAPPY STAR WARS DAY" on May 4th.... LOL! But glad I did miss it now... Honestly, I have never been a big fan of Playmobile.... But WOW! THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING! My only complaint now is - You have gave me an idea of something I want and I need to watch my finances!!! LOL! No, Genuinely, Its stunning... Amazing work! Just amazed!!! Great Video!!!

Im 52 years old and wow that’s awesome I absolutely luv it I so have to get this. The deck is pretty damn accurate and looks fantastic

Can't wait for that Darth Vader's Star Destroyer Playset-Video!

Hey Michael, that was great. I agree with that you are saying as some friends had the 1970s original bridge set and figures and it would have been great to have an entire ship. I can just imagine 10-year old me playing with this. And then me now (age withheld but you can guess) having this proudly on display.

Kick Ass video Michael! Bravo!

What a fantastic toy! Great review as always 👌

Awesome! That's damn nice! I'm sure they won't do it, but how about the refit Enterprise from STII, with the updated red uniforms? And then a second ship, the Reliant! With Kahn & Company... Whaddyathink?

Playmobil is one of those toys you pass on to the next generation. It’s rare when a major part breaks and the Build & Play element gives off a huge Micronauts vibe. My kids and I never regretted any Playmobil purchase.

I am diggin it. Much respect for your review and efforts.

Spock is the first Playmobil figure with ears. :-)

I always loved Playmobil as a kid (specifically their medieval sets) but more for role playing than building. They were never as malleable or customizable as Lego and for that reason they haven’t had as much staying power for me as an adult. This set however looks brilliant

Great review Michael thanks for sharing! Never once played with or collected Playmobile but I have always respected the amount of detail and quality they put into their product - kind of like a mating of Lego/1980’s Gi Joe into one

I bought one of those! Did not put it together since I ended up in the hospital soon after it arrived. At 71, I’m now inspired to put it together!

Great review! I love this set and it’s the star of my Star Trek display.
