What's up with the one pad? A special decon transporter? Captain's only?
The more I see it, the more I love it! Does anyone have an image that doesn't have part of the saucer cropped out? Anyone with Photoshop skills that can "fix" it?
I'll guess that it's a feature of the toy set that enables you to "simulate" a beam-down by putting a figure in the chamber and turning a knob. There is probably not such a structure on the actual set.
It's actually very reminiscent of the old vinyl bridge playset from back in the day in that respect, which had a similar feature.
Here's the modern "retro" version of that toy:

Yes!
I was a little too old (college) to be into the Mego stuff when it was new. Now I'm rather sorry I didn't buy all of it...but then, there was beer to be paid for.
Dunno. You see an awful lot of standing stations on board naval vessels, though, including control stations on bridges and in engineering rooms. In that respect, mixing some standing stations into the sets - as they began to do with the bridges starting on TNG - makes some visual sense.
Hell, does Adama sit down? NO!
Nor Darth Vader. I get the impression from some episodes, like when someone beams without authorization, the TR may only be crewed when a call to man that station for beaming in or out is made or, if an away team requires constant monitoring.
Wait, wait, wait. These toys..the Enterprise...that communicator...they look...accurate. Can it be? Has Playmates actually done a good job?
I recall seeing something on TrekMovie about the hand prop toys being based off the filming props. I hope that's true because it means cheap costume accessories!
Also, the comm looks way better open.
Yeah, they look alot like original series stuff. I'm one happy trekker now.
Which ones the Robotech ones or the SDF Macross ones, becuase I think only the SDF Macross ones are still around.
Don't forget the most important part of it all. He'll do all of the above without even using a space suit!
Hell Breetai is so badass that in the SDF Macross universe they put him in charge of the UN Spacy.
Yeah and behind the set you can see more of the cylinder things.
Shame they don't do that in the movie

The ship is still hideous, the phaser, communicator, and tricorder look like Galaxy Quest rejects, and Nero's ship looks like a used mop head.
No, they're all actually pretty good looking. 
Here ya go!
Excellent...thanks!
thats the only flattering shot i have seen of the ship. Will have to say its not as bad as i first thought.
No, they're all actually pretty good looking.
In YOUR opinion, Dennis. Not mine.
But your opinion is outnumbered, and will very likely find itself beaten and missing it's lunch money.

On that much, I'll agree. But the notion that it only looks good when you're looking down on it doesn't bode well for a large spacegoing object in a movie.
In YOUR opinion.
Oh, of course - but since you post your opinions as flatfooted, unqualified declarative statements, why do you protest when others do the exact same thing?
