It actually looks bigger than the TNG Bridge playset in the proto pics too. I wonder who has the proto?

I read somewhere that Rick from NFC had gotten a lot of the Prototype stuff from Mara Hart at Playmates back in the day, for his personal collection but then I think he sold them to a collector. I don't think he woulda got the bridge though. I want the prototype for the Galor Class Ship and Romulan Phaser they were going to do.
And as for the Classic bridge looking bigger, it probably was because it was able to fold up into itslef, like the Mego playset does.

That page made me sad!
I didn't realize half those items were going to be released. I do remember some of them - like the Flight Simulator. But I didn't realize the Marauder, Cardassian ship and Kazon ship were planned. I'd have loved them all! The phaser rifle too. Sigh.
But I will say the TOS Bridge looks amazing. It's a clever idea too, with the way it folds up.

I remember seeing pics of it in one of the toy mags way back when and getting super excited about it just to have it never show up in stores... That was back in the days when you didn't have announcements through the internet on cancelled products. You just waited and waited for something to show up and when it didn't you eventually knew it wasn't coming out. Nowadays it seems like we get word on cancelled products all the time

I think it would be fun to see the lists of all the ideas that crossed their lists...and AA/DST's for that matter...to get a better feeling for how their processes work and how things get selected and narrowed down in a universe this diverse. Fun stuff!

And sallah here's a small pic http://www.newforcec...f/nevertoys.htm
Now some will say that the configuration is more like the movie era bridge! To that I say "I don't give a flying fornication!"

I recall getting the Bridge playset in 1995 at a Star Trek convention for $150AU. The first Trek convention I ever went to.
I asked at one of the dealer tables if they had the Bridge & she had one mint Bridge hidden under her table!!
I carried it around for about 2 hours, hoping some crazy Trek fan wouldn't bowl me over & steal it!

I hate to say what Ensign Ro appears to be doing to herself at the Helm station. Its a shame those figures dont sit better than that.

Sorry for the bad lighting, but, all I had to light it with was a desktop lamp and shoot with a cell phone camera. Pictured are Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Counselor Troi, Data, Dr. Crusher, Cadet Wesley, Lt. Worf, Tasha Yar (from the 1701 triple pack set, not the rare one), Dr. Pulaski (shooting daggers at Beverly from across the bridge ), Barclay, O'Brien, Geordi, Ensign Ro, Guinan, and Q. The only thing I really want to fix is to get a duty uniform version of Picard; the one I have on the bridge is the 1st season version.
And just for kicks, here's the engineering room next to it, with Picard and Data in their "Generations" garb with Captain Scotty checking out the warp core.

Welcome to the board. Your lighting reminded me of the shodowy lighing of the Enterprise D on the Generations movie. Nice pics.
