LD s2e5 “An Embarrassment of Dooplers” DS9 kit

Some independent group built their own with over 75k pieces though:

Wonder how much that kit would cost.

      I have it on good authority that Quark may know a thing or two about time travel.

    Well tales as old as time. BlueBrixx was quite successful with licensed Star Trek Models, The Danes got envious, swayed Paramount to buy the license and then hold it hostage by just releasing one Enterprise D Iconics Set (and a Gift with Purchase Shuttle). It was a really sad day for AFOBs (Adult Fan of Bricks) when LEGO acquired the license :(

    BlueBrixx eben had a nice DS9 midi scale set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2YRE3-RmBM 🇩🇪

      I actually hated how the bluebrix set looked. I also dont like the lego set look.

      It’s not their fault, they did the best they could for the size, but the ships are too big for a “reasonably priced” set to look good, IMO. They’d need to be as large as the star wars legacy set or whatever they call it. The big ones with like 3k-12k pieces.

      I’d consider selling a kidney if it meant I could get a coffee table size enterprise or Voyager. I might do very illegal things in order to get a 2ft Akira, Miranda, or D’Deridex.

        Or get a multicolor 3d printer and delve into the joys of post-print assembly!

        I mean, it’s still brickbuilt. Not everyoane likea that, that’s fine, but it’s just part of what it is. For people who don’t like that, there’s Revell or similar companies.
