Our favorite space and sci-fi Playmobil sets: From Star Trek playsets to ESA-collaborated models

Playmobil is known for crafting imaginative playsets, taking kids (and adults) on big adventures from the comfort of their homes. When it comes to the exploration of space, they've got a lot to offer. Not only has Playmobil created two mega Star Trek sets, releasing the Playmobil USS Enterprise long before LEGO released its own version and the Playmobil Klingon Bird of Prey back in 2023 (both of which we've reviewed and loved), but they've even collaborated with the real-life European Space Agency (ESA).

As Nadia Lüders, ESA's partnership and brand licensing officer, said ina statement: “This partnership ensures that the curiosity and wonder of space continue to spark young imaginations — nurturing a new generation ready to explore, innovate and shape the Europe of tomorrow.”

Playmobil's dedication to weaving space exploration and learning into imaginative play is demonstrated in the sheer amount of space and sci-fi sets they have to offer, of which we'll jump into all 13 of them below. Ranging in price from the Playmobil Space Ranger for $15 to the Star Trek USS Enterprise for $354, there are playsets for a range of ages, interests, and budgets.
