The toy, which is 39.3 inches long, 13 inches high and nearly 19 inches deep, will sport the ship’s iconic serial number (NCC-1701) and is available for preorder at Amazon.com. Oh, and beam up your wallet, Scotty: the toy lists for $499.99, according to Playmobil’s website.

The ship will include the original crew members, including Capt. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Uhura, Dr. McCoy, Sulu, Scotty and Chekov, according to the German toymaker’s website.

Spock’s character will also feature Vulcan ears, C-Net reported.

The model also lights up with a rechargeable USB cable and can be controlled with an augmented reality app that is included with the set, Space.com reported. Lights and sound effects from the original television series can be controlled from the owner’s phone, the website reported.

The ship can be hung from a ceiling, but it is a hefty toy, weighing nearly 15 pounds, according to Space.com.

The set has 150 pieces, including accessories like communicators, C-Net reported.
