/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Where's Bev's lantern? And no O'Brien?!

They have Spot but no O'Brien?

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Worse, the shuttlecraft set stoops as far as having an Ensign Ro Laren minifig but still no O'Brien.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

There had better be a planned transporter room with O'Brien and Broccoli (+ transporter worm/crewman)!

[–] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe saving him for a DS9 set? :-D

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 7 points 2 weeks ago

Guinan, but no O'Brien, is quite a choice.

[–] KraeuterRoy@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

LEGO is notorious for leaving out or relegating (or rather: paywalling) minifigures to GWPs. So no surprise there.

Maybe he'll be part of a similarly overpriced DS9 set in the future.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

They forgot another character:

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

400 bucks for that? LEGO is out of their fucking minds, it's worth maybe half that.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How long did you not look at Lego's pricing? XD

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You seem to have mistaken greed for value.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, I don't think so. Compared to other companies, Lego is massively overpriced and has been for years (and no, Lego does not offer better quality).

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But then I don't get your comment, at least not your second one.

First, you criticise Lego's pricing, which I extend ("has been for a long time") but then you say I mistake greed for value? I don't get it.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

LEGO is being greedy by charging more money than their product is worth. I'm not sure what you don't seem to understand. LEGO wants you to pay 400 dollars for a set that has a value of 200 tops and the actual value likely much less than that.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

I don't understand why you'd say I would mistake greed for value when all I do is agree with you on Lego overpricing their products and saying that this is neither new nor exclusive to this set.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Look at all this money. Boy do I have so much money. What will I ever do with this much money?"

Anyway, this is what I believe our typical customers are.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought this was the original, but while searching for this, I learned that the comic was originally about Diablo Immortal.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, hah, someone actually made a LEGO version? I only ever knew the original one about Diablo.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

No chair, though.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does the saucer pop off to reveal a bridge? For that price I need a bridge.

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The death star was disappointing... This doesn't even have an inside!?

[–] onigiri@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

I wish they had made a bridge set instead. Also, sad there is no Q. :(

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 7 points 2 weeks ago

From other angles it looks a bit better than the image they released a couple of days ago... but not much.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

There's a Westly Sweater minifig.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago

So looks like Bluebrixx lost the Star Trek license to Lego then...
Shame, they had some really nice models :-(

I have a small (~300pcs each) Enterprise-A and a Bird of Prey.
And a 1:1 klingon d'k tahg knife with movable parts, which is really cool looking.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

For $400 I'd expect the saucer section to be detachable.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] UESPA_Sputnik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Check out this video at 4:00 to see how the saucer separation works.

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

The BlueBrixx one was something like half that price.

[–] Shipgirlboy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] negativenull@piefed.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It does look like stickers :(

if you look at the NCC1701 on the bottom

[–] StupidOriginalName@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It could be, but the gameboy mostly used printed elements so I'd wait to see some confirmation before assuming stickers

[–] KraeuterRoy@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nintendo seems to have some sense of quality standards, their licensed LEGO sets have an unusually high amount of prints.

This is not common. Hell, LEGO even put dozens of stickers in the 1000$ death star. If the marketing picture has stickers, the set will have stickers. The only question is: how many?

[–] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Give me a Speed Champions-esque line of starships, maybe each coming with one minifigure, and I'd buy the heck out of that!

[–] rakzcs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

So it begins… soon Lego will have all of our wealth and organs.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I hope the stickers are just a prototype thing...

[–] thezeesystem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

They should sell it exactly how much it costs money wise for the the enterprise to make in the show! That would be cool!

[–] QueenMidna@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

I guess my dreams of an enterprise E kit are long off

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Lego just keeps making cool sets that I can't justify paying the premium for.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

This is gonna look great next to our Mega Bloks Enterprise-D

[–] Soktopraegaeawayok@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I feel weird that even Ensign Ro Laren gets a Lego character... I guess anyone can be a Lego character these days.
