Star Trek - Rumors & Discussion

Honestly, I think that Lego needed to test the water on this licence since I'm sure it was really expensive, and is a key asset in Paramounts portfolio, Usually when contracts like these are made there can be a clause for a test run, especially if two large companies come together (Example Nintendo and Lego)

If the series turns out to be a flop at the beginning the a company can recline from further licensing involvement! I think Lego and Paramount are now in full negotiations to continue their cooperation together in the Star Trek Franchise! I'm sure we will see more Star Trek sets in the future but not under "Icons" but it's own

theme Star Trek!

I actually think Star Trek will get the similar treatment as Lord of the Rings does. One big Set every year, maybe some Brickheadz and buildable something, but likely no smaller playsets.

Sadly that is what I too think will happen. Cash in on the Star Trek fans with one big set every year and that's about it. It will be the same as they do with LOTR and maybe also POTC. Only new movies may have the power to break the pattern  So sad...

Btw should I rename the thread title? Remove the year?

Sure! the thread is not super long and until we know how far Lego is willing to go with the series we can continue on with this thread!

Well, I spent Friday evening and a solid chunk of Saturday afternoon building the Enterprise and I have to say I'm very impressed. I am no master builder, but I have built a ton of Lego sets and Enterprise managed to surprise me many times throughout the process. The way you build the star drive section is especially cool and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. The end result is a massive, really well rendered version of a beloved design. I have almost no notes. If I were to nitpick, I do think a brickbuilt deflector without the printed parts would have allowed for a narrower and more accurate rendition. In fact I've already seen one solid effort that I might try. I also wish they would have done the phaser strip for the underside of the saucer even though I'll rarely see it. But even with those nitpocks, I can't remember the last time I was this happy building a set or with the end result. The subject matter goes a long way, but I really love what Lego did here. I smile every time I see it and I marvel they were able to get it looking this good.

I've waited basically my entire life for a Trek set and I hope they do more. But if this is all we get, I think it was more than worth the wait.

I wonder if Lego is going to treat Star Trek similar to the LOTR revival - one large set each year?

If that were the case, I do hope they do not skimp on minifigs!

They could do a smattering of smaller sets like that Transport Room with O'Brien.

That would be my guess. So what's the second most iconic ship? Bird of Prey? Borg Cube? The original Enterprise?

Are there any noteworthy locations? The Next Generation and Voyager are probably the TV shows I watched most in my life, over and over again, but I struggle to come up with an important location that would justify a set.

Even within one ship, there's already noteworthy locations to create sets of various sizes. Who wouldn't want the bridge, for starters? Saw the transporter room mentioned more than once. How about Ten Forward? Med bay with crew? DS9 promenade perhaps?

I wouldn't mind honestly. But I worry about the scale. It bothers me when the scale isn't accurate, therefore a classic Enterprise or a Voyager that's the same size in Lego as the Enterprise-D wouldn't make sense, considering how much bigger the Galaxy class really was. But sadly, keeping size accurate would seriously limit any future releases...

Sorry, I should have phrased that better. I meant locations on planets. Of course a Enterprise bridge should be a no-brainer!

 Or maybe the sail ship on the holodeck where Worf's promotion to Lieutenant Commander takes place - but that is maybe better suited to the Pirates forum haha

I would guess Bird of Prey or TOS next. I kinda can understand why they choose TNG over TOS, because the more modern Enterprise just looks cooler compared to the old one, especially when you translate it into Lego, so build wise, I´d say Bird of Prey would have to be next, especially since another Enterprise would still be somewhat similar.

Remember that the Star Trek license has already gone to several manufactures previously, Play-mobile as well as Kre-O & Blue Brixx with limited success!

I think the current Lego clientel is better suited for more detailed sets, and at the moment Lego probably doesn't want to make sets that where previously released by others!

But the Alpha Quadrant is large so they have tons of models they can choose from!

Assuming they use the LotR model of one large Icons set a year instead of diversifying into other set types, the next thing they should do is the Refit Enterprise from The Motion Picture, The Wrath of Khan, and The Search for Spock. That's the number-one or number-two most iconic Starship Enterprise, and it's the only classic (pre-2005) Enterprise that no other brick company has done at a large scale.

The very same ship did appear as the Interceptor in Pirates of the Caribbean, so it might as well be released as a PotC set

I didn't know it was the same ship. Very interesting!

[Felkin]

LotR has had a few other sets in recent years in addition to the one big D2C per year, in the form of a Book Nook and some Brickheadz. Star Trek isn't a literary series (no offence, Peter David's New Frontier) but if Lego follows a similar pattern we might get some diorama sets, and a few Brickheadz too.

I'd personally love some playset locations (DS9's promenade would be a dream come true), but most Star Trek merchandise focuses on the starships for obvious reasons. Due to budget restrictions, there aren't that many non-ship locations which I would consider particularly iconic. Starfleet Academy, possibly, or maybe the Klingon High Council chamber, but I would expect most Lego sets to be either a big starship D2C or a diorama-style smaller set like the bridge, possibly with some Brickheadz packs for some iconic duos. Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, Captain Picard and the Borg Queen, Worf and Jadzia... I'm hoping that the sell-out success of the Ent-D so far means we might get more than just big D2Cs going forward.

[JesseNight]

Didn't know about the Interceptor either.
Imagine if they'd release the same ship twice, with different box and minifigs

If I think about ships I'd like to see... I would definitely love to see a Klingon Bird of Prey, or a Romulan Warbird (but that one might be a challenging design). Would honestly love to see the Voyager ship too. I really love the design of the Maquis Raider, but that one has so few appearances that I'm not counting on it.

[Geihlen]

If Lego wanted to do a companion piece to the Enterprise, I think a Vor'cha would be great. Visually very distinct from the Enterprise while also being its era appropriate contemporary, seemingly doable in Lego, opportunity to reuse the Klingon head piece a few times, and could give us some other classic TNG characters like Gowron, Kurn, and maybe the Duras sisters. Now, you'd probably have to work in some sort of Starfleet character regardless of how well they fit. Riker would be a good choice since he was part of the officer exchange program (even though he served on a BoP), but we have him already.

So apparently Lego is sending out corrected sticker sheets because of the typo on the plaque sticker but they added two other errors in return

Some Lego fans collect mis-prints and other examples of production errors, but even they won't want to have so much to collect from the flagship set of a brand-new theme.

I'm glad the plaque is hidden away inside the set out of sight, but it's still ridiculous that Lego messed this up not once but twice!

For real? You'd think after 1 serious error they'd read it an extra time before printing... What are the errors on the new sheet?

See this Brickset article, @JesseNight, for details on the new errors.

[JesseNight]

I am honestly flabbergasted...
First that they didn't have or use the saved file of the last good design and just add the missing letter.
Second that there is apparently no quality control at all anymore for this to happen twice in a row.

QC is seriously an issue everywhere nowadays, not just Lego. I'm seriously starting to believe that the first wave of buyers is the quality control of new products nowadays.
Not even talking about the amounts of errors in instruction manuals of expensive sets in some periods in the last years.

At least they do still make an effort to give people a "fixed" one (after a few attempts lol).

I was tempted to use the replacement sticker as a small plaque on the figure display stand, but it looks worse. Maybe the third iteration, if it comes, will take its place next to the figures.

[BrickBob Studpants]

The production of a third version of the sticker sheet has been confirmed!  Now the 2nd version will likely become a collectors item due to its short-livedness

Ha! I ordered a replacement sticker sheet yesterday before finding out about the error. I wonder if I'll get the second or third iteration.

There's a somewhat charming 'D'Oh!' moment about the first error which means I'd be tempted to keep it. The second one is just incompetence.

Part 3172 plate with pin hole (in white) is now available on Lego bricks & pieces service.

Will interest those piecing together the shuttlepod GWP.
