This toy was produced by the '''South Bend Electronics''' branch of [[Milton Bradley]]. It was a depiction of the refit [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|USS ''Enterprise'']] from ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]''. The main selling point of the toy was its' modular construction, allowing for the ship's components to be rearranged into different configurations.
The '''Milton Bradley''' Game Company began in 1860 as a lithography business in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1880, Mr. Milton Bradley expanded his business and began making jigsaw puzzles. Today, the company (which is now a subsidiary of [[Hasbro]] Toys, Inc.) is the number-one maker of [[games]] and puzzles in the world.
