New 'Star Trek' R/C Toys To Appear
Four different flying Enterprise toys will be arriving at retailers beginning in January of 2009.<p>As reported by <A class="link" HREF="http://trekmovie.com">TrekMovie.com</A>, fans will soon have a chance to fly their own Enterprise models. Mattel's Tyco will debut four different ships, with prices ranging from $20 to $199. The ships will be sold at retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target and Toys-R-Us.<p>The $20 entry-level Enterprise, based on the refit model, is called the "Power Charger". It has no radio controller but must be charged up. It will then fly in a circle. <p>The next level up is the $40 model, which is the same ship, but with a radio controller. There will also be a Klingon Bird of Prey in this price range.<p>Moving up to the $70 level, a larger, better-constructed Enterprise will be offered. The controller for this looks like a <i>Star Trek</i> Communicator and the controls are accessed via touch-screen. An accompanying Tricorder is the charger. <p>The $199 version Enterprise is a giant four-foot version, which comes with the same Communicator controller and Tricorder charger.<p><i>Star Trek XI</i> version Enterprises should be available in April of 2009. Mattel hopes to eventually include other Enterprise models such as the Enterprise-D and may offer enemy vessels as well.<p>To read more, and to see photos and a video tour of the various ships offered, head to the article located <A class="link" HREF="http://trekmovie.com/2008/07/24/comic-con-08-mattel-reveals-new-star-trek-rc-toys/">here</A>.<center></center>
