LEGO Enterprise rumors

A LEGO The X-Files Set Is Officially in the Works Thanks to a 90s Contest - IGN

LEGO has approved an awesome new set based on the classic sci-fi TV show The X-Files.

I have a feeling that the Trek Lego leaks may in fact be the details of one of the losing contest entries. That would explain it - they're both 90s shows.

: shrug

I have my opinion about rumours. Would rather cold hard facts.

Then it's user error coming into a thread clearly marked "rumors" and being disappointed about what you find.

Facts again.

Y'all are two for two

TNG started in the '80s.

But there wasn’t a Trek set in that contest.

Ah, well then. I just figured it'd explain where the idea came from, for it to be so detailed if it had been a false rumor.

 

[Tomalak]

If anything it lends credence to the idea that Lego is working on Star Trek already, as normally you would expect something Star Trek in a contest like that.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

It would sell. That’s reason enough to do it. I feel quite strongly that this is a likely true product but we will see.

The idle speculation usually leads towards disappointment, complaining or fan annoyance. Ok, maybe I'm ahead of the curve on the complaint departmen

From what I have seen around the internet, this situation you describe is not unusual for posts and video content about Lego products that are announcement before the final set has been designed. In some cases it may have been better for Lego to keep it a secret until the final set comes out, instead of saying "There will be a set about X," and having it not look like someones expectations. The good news is that Lego builds are very easy to modify and therefore the perceived "problems" can be fixed. That's what makes Lego different and special.

I mean...

People could build their own Enterprise too.

They could, and many people have. Fans sometimes have different priorities than the designers, resulting in some pretty big differences between an official set and fan model.

The big one is probably the durability of the constructed model. Lego wants to make sure that they can be played with, whereas fans sometimes go for the most accurate look in the final product. Both are important.

Got my first BB sets! Fun to build (except repetitive things like another SF stand, another half of the ship that I just built... ) and they look great

Your Dominion ship is great!
