    If Lego released official Star Trek sets I would be so happy, and so bankrupt. I’ve been scraping by with Lego Star Wars sets but I would gladly forego groceries for a few weeks to be able to buy a Lego Enterprise or Klingon Bird of Prey.

      There are star trek sets, just not from lego: https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/sets/star_trek?limit=96

      The bird of prey is even on sale:

        I’m not familiar with Blue Brixx but I’m skeptical. If the studs don’t say “Lego” then they don’t go in my bin. Anyone trying to bring Mega Bloks for example into my house is asked politely but firmly to leave. I wonder if the design can be built with actual Lego bricks though. That could be something…

          Blue Brixx quality is comparable, certainly better than the Lego sets 10-15 years ago when our teens were really into them. (Fewer Lego models just fall apart in your hands after building them now.) Blue Brixx is a serious hobby brand in the EU.

          Lego chose Star Wars over Star Trek, but at least there’s something out there even if the North American distribution is limited.

          If it says “standard size”, the blocks will be Lego compatible. I have some star trek sets and they are very nice.

      There’s user created stuff on rebrickable. You will have to buy the pieces though. Some of the instructions are free, some cost money.

    I want to be the designer who pitches a Borg cube set. 22,000 pieces. 1:50 scale.

          Probably not close to 1:50 scale though

    There are engineering concepts that can be applied to LEGO.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
