CF Mitch Posted Tuesday at 03:03 PM Posted Tuesday at 03:03 PM Hm, sounds like it'll be quite a bit smaller... Well, I guess as long as it's still accurate, build and print/sticker-wise... The minifigs and their accessories sounds awesome, though! Love that we're getting Picard with 'Tea, Earl Grey, hot' The plaque with the ship's technical specs sounds like it'll be shaped like a Starfleet badge, which is a really nice touch Regards, Mitch Quote
JohnTPT17 Posted Tuesday at 03:10 PM Posted Tuesday at 03:10 PM I think I'm still in the camp that I would have preferred a minifig-scale bridge over the entire Enterprise, but I also completely understand why Lego went with the full ship. Hopefully they are able to get a second TNG set and focus on the bridge. I don't know if I would be able to fork over a full $400 for it... Maybe I can get lucky and find a decent deal on the minifigs from someone who just wants the ship. Quote

I'm sure fans will be making their own bridges (or the whole ship, if I can get enough bricks!), but I expect that the display model of the complete ship should sell better than a playset of the bridge. If the ship does well, I hope we might get further sets such as playsets, but if this ends up being a one-off at least we're getting a good mix of minifigures out of it. Quote

I see what you did there. ;-) Quote
RichardGoring Posted Wednesday at 05:37 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:37 PM I've been building some of the Star Trek midi scale ships by skyfox2k on Rebrickable and combined the Enterprise D with the Milky Way galaxy. I really like this scale, so I hope the official LEGO set is as good of a build and doesn't feel over the top at the size it is. Presumably the saucer section will be about 30cm in diameter, so a decent size. Balancing it on the stand may be challenging! Quote
icm Posted Wednesday at 05:50 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:50 PM Did you see the Bluebrixx ready room painting art set? I didn't end up getting that one, but the juxtaposition of those two builds reminds me of it. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted Wednesday at 06:43 PM Posted Wednesday at 06:43 PM Sounds awesome! Still need to figure out where to put it Same goes for the Death Star and the Black Pearl Quote

strangely Posted Wednesday at 07:26 PM Posted Wednesday at 07:26 PM I feel conflicted about this set. At 60cm I just have no interest in the ship, it's too much space and I hate when there are minifigures but no way for them to inhabit the build or interact with it. At the same time, I really want the minifigures. I'm tempted to just wait and see if they do other sets down the line. I think the deciding factor for me will be the GWP. If it's a minifigure compatible shuttle (and actually looks good) then I'll buy the set to get the minifigures and GWP and then sell the main ship secondhand. Really I would prefer they do a line of midi scale ships and then minifigure playsets for the interiors and planets. I really don't like that they went UCS, but I guess it makes sense if this ends up being a one and done sort of franchise for Lego. Quote
Artifex Posted yesterday at 01:51 AM Posted yesterday at 01:51 AM (edited) Have you seen the Playmobil Enterprise? It's 48-inches long. Maybe Lego's will be similar in scale. https://www.google.com/search?q=playmobil+star+trek+enterprise+review&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sca_esv=94f838f05e4d962b&sxsrf=AE3TifO93ogA8CdARwPA30WUPkj9lCOcaA%3A1750902635435&ei=a6dcaKSmGsue5OUPqKbe0Qg&oq=playmobil+star+trek+review&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIhpwbGF5bW9iaWwgc3RhciB0cmVrIHJldmlldyoCCAEyBhAAGBYYHjIGEAAYFhgeMgUQIRigATIIEAAYgAQYogQyBRAAGO8FSM0cUI8GWNQScAF4AZABAJgB2wGgAeIJqgEFMC41LjK4AQHIAQD4AQGYAgigAqUKwgIKEAAYsAMY1gQYR8ICDRAAGIAEGLADGEMYigXCAhkQLhiABBiwAxjRAxhDGMcBGMgDGIoF2AEBwgIWEC4YgAQYsAMYQxjUAhjIAxiKBdgBAcICBRAAGIAEwgILEAAYgAQYhgMYigXCAgcQIRigARgKmAMAiAYBkAYOugYECAEYCJIHBTEuNS4yoAfiHbIHBTAuNS4yuAeOCsIHBzItNi4xLjHIBz8&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp Edited yesterday at 01:54 AM by Artifex Quote
icm Posted yesterday at 02:55 AM Posted yesterday at 02:55 AM The rumor is 60 cm, which is about 24 inches. Quote
