Star Trek Lego?

[Bry_Sinclair]

If they considered making a number of Star Trek Lego sets, what series and sets/locations would you like to see?

For me I think it would have to be DS9. By far the most interesting look/design of any Trek, plus there are loads of different sets that could be released. I'd especially want to see the Promenade, with the Security Office, Infirmary and Quark's (no doubt all separate sets that could connect together), as it'd be fairly epic in scale--especially if they added the likes of the Temple, School and Garak's Clothiers as extras to enjoy!

You could also have a full runabout and all the Defiant rooms as well.

I guess the problem of the Lego characters being shaped like obese hobbits would be the greatest with a tight set like a runabout; I'd expect a reasonably sized and therefore internally hopelessly cramped runabout at first, with the early DS9, E-D and E-nil interiors (bridges, quarters, corridors, engine rooms) being more enjoyable to play with, or to combine with each other. But the ultimate for me would be a shuttle hangar, from any era, with working doors and two auxiliary craft, one large and one small, plus all the doodads they can fit in...

Having built the 436 piece kreo jjerprise for an impatient toddler at 5am on his birthday, I do not know if I could take such things.

But a galaxy class....

A wide collection of various Starships! I would assume all the ships from the shows would be available, but would be awesome if they included other common Ship styles as well! I would love to have a Fleet of Starships all in Lego! They would take all my money till I had them all haha. Otherwise what, I might buy the Enterprise-D if they had it, but that would be it. A couple Starbases to add giant sets to the collection would be cool. Earth Spacedock, Deep Space 9, and one other popular base design. And then they could put out tons of those little packs with shuttles!

I've oft thought about making my own DS9 Lego sets, (some of the fan creations are amazing!) but I know if I let myself fall down that expensive rabbit hole, there will be no turning back.

I've been pondering doing a DS9 for a while, but there are a lot of difficult sections to render in LEGO. Star Trek ships in general are difficult because of the abundance of round shapes and lack of regard for gravity.

Round is fine. Gravity is doable. Lego doesn't like odd numbers though so the cardassian rule of threes is a sod.

Sorry, there will be no Star Trek Legos.

Mega Bloks got the Trek licensing for this kind of toy (again): http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Bloks

I'm looking forward to the bridge, transporter and engineering sets. I've been wanting them since I was a kid. They may not be Lego, but Mega Bloks will do.

Heathen!

I'd like to see a scale Delta Flyer. I think that would be pretty cool, maybe even the Defiant, but that would be a pretty big set.

Agreed. I'm a die hard AFOL, but Megabloks recent offerings have been so far above their traditional stuff in quality and design that I look forward to what they can do with Trek. Their CoD stuff is amazing. Some of it on par with Lego's UCS line. I love that these look to be TOS as well.

^ The only acronym I know in that post is "TOS"!

LOL ok for the unfamiliar with the world of little plastic bricks

AFOL= Adult Fan Of Lego. Yeah when you see a $350 Lego set, everybody knows it's not for the kids. Basically Teen and Adult Lego hobbiests. The guys who make all the spectacular stuff you see on the interwebz.

COD = Call of Duty. The wildly successful first person shooter video game series from Activision. Megabloks has a license to make toys for that series and Microsofts Halo games. The Halo sets are nice, but the CoD sets are fantastic. Almost model like. Doing subjects and using techniques that Lego by policy will never touch. (Lego does not do modern real world war toys. Their founder lived through WW2.)

Lego UCS = Lego's Ultimate Collectors Series. These are one of the lines of super detailed super complex sets targeted at the AFOL's. They start at ~$200 and go up as high as $450. They will have between 2000 and 4500 pieces. The largest was the classic mining scale Millenium Falcon. It's the size of a coffee table, has been out of production for 10 years, and an unopened boxed one can get $7000. This line is mainly spaceships. Star Wars ships. Although they have started adding some comic book stuff to it with a massive super detailed Batman Tumbler and a Marvel SHIELD Helicarrier. I think the next one due out is either a large scale AT-AT or a roughly 1/12 scale Snowspeeder.
