Diamond Select Toys is going to be offering a full-sized replica of the Captain’s Chair from Star Trek TOS, complete with working lights, sound effects and a few Shanterian phrases (not sure if that last one is a bug or a feature).

A timeless part of many childhoods, this set includes a variety of features found in the original design as well as a few upgrades!  Among the classic elements returning are the working spin-around Transporter mechanism, fold-up design with carrying case handle, interchangeable view-screen graphics, do-it-yourself decal sticker sheets as well as plastic chair and table accessories!

I had the original Mego Star Trek playset as a kid. Loved that spinning transporter. Damn, now I’m going to have to go out and buy all the retro Star Trek figures to go with this.
