New BlueBrixx Trek ships and props

Now I would rather have a non-bumpy set of very sleek saucers, secondary hills pylons and nacelles of different eras to mix and match. To emulate the styles. The TNG nacelle would still be TOS round…just a different surface treatment
 
The First Contact phaser rifle model is great. I never bought "non-Lego Lego" before, but when I saw this one resistance was futile.

That one is definitely on my list! Are there flat pieces that can be put above the remaining studs? Would LEGO pieces fit?
 
Yeah, it's compatible with Lego. You'd probably need additional 1x2, 1x3, and 1x4 tiles.
 
I don't understand why they left these knobs there in the first place, when the rest is so nice and smooth - to show that it's not a real gun? XD
 
I think it's more that people that make things out of Lego like to see that it's made out of Lego. If you wanted a realistic phaser rifle, there are plenty of resin kits that make something that looks considerably better and won't shatter into a zillion parts if you drop it.
 
The kits are more expensive though, right?

All the "it's a toy!" markers I've seen have been bright orange tips, like on the ENT phase pistol, not stuff like little same-color studs you can barely see at a glance or from a distance :D

Exactly.

It's a Lego style kit.

No-one expects verisimilitude when Lego themselves do a Star Wars set covered in 'same coloured studs'.

The pleasure comes from building it and seeing something cool made from Lego (or an equivalent).

What you're doing is a little like complaining that Lego Luke Skywalker has clamps instead of hands.

It is what it is in other words.

And that will probably change at some point due some state laws.
