      It looks like they could have filmed this out at Vasquez Rocks. Nice touch.

      But am I the only one preoccupied with the fact that Kirk has his uniform on backwards?

        Wow, nice audio! The weird chanting they put in the background of Trek commercials felt darker than Star Trek for me. Must have been that dour 70s influence. ;-)

          Looks like they tried to keep the snaps out of the frame; except for a tiny bit of Scotty's in profile as they zoomed in on the bridge.

            Oh that is pure awesomeness. It sure brings back great memories. I remember getting this for Christmas with all the characters. But here's the interesting part. Up to that point I had never been much of a Trek fan. But after Mego broke big with the superheroes, I was getting fascinated by anything they advertised. So when I saw this ad and looked at the characters on the shelves, I became a fan of show. That's happened allot with me throughout my life. Sometimes its the product that puts these shows on the map for me, instead of it being the other way around. Nothing beats good marketing.

              Yeah, the chanting is a very bizarre touch. Always wondered what the creative process was that led to that choice.

                  Wow !!! … this is probably the best quality Mego commercial I've ever seen !!!

                  Most look like they were shot on super-8 but this one looks closer to 16mm

                  Would be fantastic if somebody would color correct it.

                    A very nice print of the original Mego Star Trek Mission to Gamma 6 commercial has surfaced. This playset was the creation of toy inventor Eddy Goldfarb, who at 99 years of age, is still working.

                          Double-WOW!… I don't think I ever really appreciated the Gamma 6 set until watching that commercial, now. That's hot fun… every Trek fan needs to have that!

                            Back in 1975-ish I was 10-ish

                            Never heard of the Gamma 6 set until the mid 80's when I started collecting

                            Am I alone on this one ?

                            edited to add … Great video Bri and thanks

                              I love remastered Mego commercials. Makes me wish i had this set as a kid.
