Missing item numbers for Mego Star Trek

[SKotK]

So, in compiling a complete list of Mego Star Trek items, I'm including the item number as well. But a few item numbers have eluded me:

5xxxx Phaser Battle
51xx4 Intergalactic Planetarium (I could only read 3 letters on the best box photo I've seen)

and of course,

xxxxx Transporter Room (UK exclusive - does this even have a Mego item #?)

Can anybody help fill these in for me?

P.S. - In the item numbers for the action figures, 51200/5 is Mr. Scott and 51200/7 is the Klingon. 51200/6 is skipped...what was it meant to be? Was it ever prototyped?

Super Phaser II Target Game 51222
Planetarium is 51244

I don't see an item number on pics I have of the Palitoy Transporter, or the Grand Toys ST-TMP ships.

If you don't have the Mailer boxes, check with Vinny.
Brian has a several Order forms, which should have the remaining item #'s you need.


Looking forward to seeing the finished list.

Actually, not the Super Phaser II Target Game (I have that one), but the "Phaser Battle" tabletop game as seen here. And it looks like the number is given right on that site as 51220!

With those last numbers, I think I have them all listed...at least for the ST original series stuff. The mailer boxes appear to be the same as the regular numbers for the first 6 figures, only with an added "C" in front of the number.

Here's the list:

51200/1 Capt. Kirk
51200/2 Mr. Spock
51200/3 Dr. McCoy (Bones)
51200/4 Lt. Uhura
51200/5 Mr. Scott (Scottie)
51200/7 Klingon

51203/1 Neptunian
51203/2 The Keeper
51203/3 The Gorn
51203/4 Cheron

51204/1 The Romulan
51204/2 Talos
51204/3 Andorian
51204/4 Mugato

51210 U.S.S. Enterprise Action Playset
51210/F U.S.S. Enterprise Action Playset (Canada/France)
51214 Communicators
51217 U.S.S. Enterprise Action Gift Set
51218 Tricorder
51220 Phaser Battle
51222 Super Phaser II Target Game
51225 Mission To Gamma VI
51230 Command Communications Console
51232 Telescreen Console
51244 Intergalactic Planetarium
51248 Star Trekulator
xxxxx Transporter Room (UK)

91221/1 Capt. Kirk (1979 reissue)
91221/2 Mr. Spock (1979 reissue)
91221/3 Dr. McCoy (Bones) (1979 reissue)
91221/4 Klingon (1979 reissue)

Thanks...and if anyone can add anything to this, let me know!

Very cool.

Are the 79 re-issue's the white back cards?

Also, did the Communicators have different codes for the boxed and carded version?

Yes, they are. I don't own any, but I've seen photos.

Hmm, interesting...good question. I was only aware of the carded version as of yesterday. I'll have to see if I can find a clear photo of the carded version one, unless someone has one on hand they can check.

Concerning the mystery of Trek number 51200/6 I'm guessing it could have been Mr. Sulu, but perhaps
mego was not able to get the permission for his likeness? this of course is just a guess on my part.

There should be a reason why the item number was skipped over, it's strange and doesn't make sense,
something probably was in the process of being made and then got scratched for reasons unknown.

One theory I had was this: we know that Uhura was a late addition to the line and wasn't originally planned, so maybe 51200/4 was originally going to be Sulu, and 51200/6 was going to be Chekhov (or vice versa), with Scottie in the middle at 51200/5. And then they dropped Sulu/Chekhov and added Uhura. And since those item numbers were open now, they used one of them for Uhura...and the rest is history.

Just a theory, but who knows...it could be how it went down!

I believe Benjamin mentions in his book "Mego 8" Super Heroes: World's Greatest Toys!" that Mego often left gaps in the numbering
so they had the option of adding additional items down the road, even if there weren't any in the planning stages at the time.
