For years, many Mego Museum members have talked of the "Clearance Star Trek" set which included usually Kirk and Spock figures shrunk wrapped into a Bridge Playset, the playset was normally missing the transporter unit meaning it was a factory leftover of some sort.
Well, finally we have some print evidence of this item, taken from this December 1980 newspaper ad. At $5.00 this was a steal of a deal.
Hopefully one of these sets surfaces someday.

Hah! I knew my memory wasn't that flawed. I have one of those sets. The playset isn't as well constructed as the one available previously. The seams are much looser- more gaps in the panels. It didn't come with any of the furniture, the transporter, or the replaceable view screen panels. I don't recall Kirk and Spock on cards either... I had never actually seen a carded Star Trek Mego until the late 80s, when I found a Kirk, Spock, and Klingon at a Comic Store for $10 each.
