It is a shame I can't find a SNW Enterprise toy (lemm.ee)

One of the joys of ST:SNW for me is sharing the experience with my kid, they way my mom shared TNG with me in the 80s/90s. And I grew up with micromachines and those 1-2 foot long ships (the ones with a few buttons that made noises and lit up), many of which are still in a bin in my mom's basement.

When I go looking for something my kid could play with, all I can find are snap-together models. Fine, OK, but not the same as something he can fly through our living room making a warp speed wooosh sound. It's really a shame they don't have any good SNW ship toys. I'd buy some in a heartbeat.

My B. I didn't realize this was more of a "vent" than a "what should I do".

Sometimes it isn't about the nail and I can recognize that. It sucks you can't find the toy you want for your kid. There used to be really solid starship toys. I had the Enterprise D, so I for sure understand how fun a properly sized starship is. I think it's really cool that you want to be the same mother to your child that your mother was to you, and this must be frustrating.
