Star Trek - Rumors & Discussion

[JohnTPT17]

The upcoming set is now confirmed to be a ToS Bridge. Summer release, no word on price or part count.

Going for the bridge is a smart move since another Enterprise would be way too soon  Sure, the ships look different, but the concept is too similar in its essence. The bridge is just as recoginsable (if not more so than the ship itself!) and thus makes for an excellent companion set!

Bluebrixx was pumping out the big (and medium, and small) ships as fast as they could. Maybe they had a gut feeling they wouldn't be able to hold on to the license for very long, maybe they were just milking the cash cow for everything they could. For the sake of my wallet, I'm happy for Lego to take a slower approach. My wanted list is far too long already. Still, a TOS bridge with minifigs is certainly a must-buy set for me.

I'm excited to see a bridge set.

Personally, Star Trek would be very well suited for a midi "Starship Collection" scale line (with some minifgs included of course). Doing big ships, there's no way they'll do even close to everything people would want, but at midi scale they can pump out ships from all different factions and shows and get through quite a lot, IMO.

I completely agree and hope they go this route.

It's interesting, if true, that for TOS they're 'only' doing a a bridge and not the entire ship as well.

Like others have said, two large and expensive Enterprises within a short amount of time would a bit much. Even those people who like both TOS and TNG probably have their favourite and might not want to buy both if the sets are too similar. And TNG wins that race not because it's any better but because the people who grew up with it are in that perfect "fourty-something nostalgic adult" range that LEGO just loves to milk for all they're worth.

@BrickBob Studpants and @brickbride, you make good points.
The bridge set will certainly be something to look forward to. And who knows, an actual Enterprise may appear in the future

I did actually skip the Enterprise-D, even though I, indeed, grew up with TNG and it, and the subsequent movies and Picard are my favorites of the bunch. 
Maybe those minifigs will appear later in smaller sets as well  

Regards,
Mitch

Absolutely. Plus from a space perspective it just means collecting this subtheme doesn’t require copious amounts of real-estate. It’s one of my misgivings with how Lord of the Rings is being handled; all the sets are absolutely magnificent, but they’re also massive and collecting them can be a headache if one doesn’t have the space for it.

A bridge set sounds brilliant, I didn’t grow up with TOS but this is nonetheless a set I would buy as I’m still attached to the characters. I wonder if they’ll introduce a phaser mould this time.

I sure hope so!  Since Spock‘s hairpiece is probably the only new minifig piece in this set, they should‘ve had enough budget for a phaser piece ^^

And a communicator...

I've been working on a TNG bridge diorama set myself, so my heart definitely skipped a beat when I saw the leaked news! I was honestly glad to see that it was a TOS set, and as people have said, it makes sense to vary the approach to the theme a bit.

It'll be very interesting to see what size and approach they take for the TOS bridge diorama. Will the piece count need to hit a certain level to justify including the entire core crew, I wonder? My bridge is pretty compressed at 918 pieces, but fits decently well on the shelf with the Enterprise-D.

It looks great! Just saw it on Rebrickable and will investigate further. Thanks for making instructions for this.

[Menapian]

Thanks @RichardGoring, I appreciate it! If you end up building it, do let me know how you get on - I'd really value any feedback.

It'll be interesting to see if we get more official playscale sets like the rumoured TOS diorama, and what size they might come in at. I'm working on a few more TNG designs at the moment - a transporter room and a holodeck, so far - and I'll be sure to post them on the forum when they're ready.
