Mego Star Trek Communication Console Commercial

[TheTwillerZone]

wow, i have the communicators, need to get the console !!! cool.

[cdstingj]

No squelch circuts. Drove me crazy. I dreamed of FM.



[JP5466]

I had the communicators, but not the console.  We used to see how far we could go and stay in contact with each other. Those innocent, care-free fun days are long gone.

[satanicmechanic86]

@JP5466 You are so right. Thanks to ebay I have some of the things that made the 70's cool.

Man, if I had this as a kid, 1st thing we'd have done, build a mock spaceship out of whatever we could find. Even a table + blanket. Then the "Away team" would explore the planet surface & relay info to the com-officer, lol. At FAO Schwartz, early 80's, I once saw a giant (10x10ft), fiberglass, play set/fort that was literally a flying saucer! It had a pull down ramp for enter/exit. THIS toy would have went with it perfectly! I can find nothing online like the toy saucer/fort I mentioned.

[CLETUSinSPACE]

[gocaitygo]

of course kids now has as much imagination as a cockroaches thanks to videogames lol

[K9FON]

@gocaitygo They dont even go outside anymore!!!! The kids i hung around with were outside all the time. But this was in the days before these idiotic arcade games became popular.

[FacultyFan]

[animeultrafan]

[ToneHufford]

[Ienjoyinlife]

hahahaha lol

[Gissur33]

I didn't start enjoying Star Trek until recently. I bought the original series set and I am about half way through. I think it kick ass.

[SmileOnADog]

The kid next door had this and I was so fricking jealous.

[inbedwithmedinner]

they worked about 15 feet you could hear your mate talk with no help at that range and the morse code button made the tv go weird when you pressed it. also the other comunicators where only sold in pairs so 2 mates where outside and you where in. still had a summers worth of fun from them lol.

[M0WWS]

like the key chirp

sounds like a russian ham with an atu inductor wound round a vodka bottle

[JoshBlade9585]

1300 my ass! modern day toys don't work that far away! And did you see that communicator?! That thing would slow any kid down!

[jsharp1701]

Modern day toys have been regulated by the FCC to not interfere with cordless phones and other devices. We didn't have those back then. Just 1300 feet of power on our hip!

[EliteRanger]

Damn, the old days were freakin' awesome!!

[claudiall]

Question: if you actually need both toys to make 'em work properly and have some amount of fun, why are they sold separately? Talk about a letdown!

[ICEcoleman2k]

To make your parents buy more toys. I lot of stuff was sold separately then, unless you got a playset. I had a Phazer that projected different images of the Enterprise and other ships.

[Pudlis16]

I hate star trek, but that thing looked AWESOME.

[visor109]

"Let's contact Steve!"

Interesting, I thought Steve was "a man barely alive!"

[visor109]

Probably on 11 meters.
