I thought the Mego action figures were amazing, right down to the glow-in-the-dark phasers and tricorders. The Enterprise resembled nothing like the show, however as you said in the comments, it really didn't matter. The transporter was a really great feature and it made up for the lack of authenticity. I believe I also had the utility kit, complete with the phaser that shot discs. One question though – was it a model set that needed to be glued together? I do recall assembling it myself, with the help of that sweet smelling glue that was later deemed too dangerous for young children (I survived without brain damage, by the way).

Tracer Guns and the rare but awesome Tracer Rifle that fired the plastic disks. I had many of fun times in shoot outs with a buddy of mine. Never once got hit in the eye. LoL!

wow, I guess I was lucky. I had many of those! My AMT Enterprise bridge was built but never painted, for some reason; it just sat there gray and played-with (like my Invaders UFO).

My dad was a TOS fan so I got Kirk, Spock and McCoy (and the bridge). Order of losing the teeny accessories: Communicator, Phaser, Tricorder.

All that, and I still covet the Star Trek Big Wheel! I'd never seen that before and it's probably good I didn't see it when I was nine...
