Star Trek 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[Yperio_Bricks]

So it looks it is actually happening and today we got information from reliable leaker maxbaut in his latest YT video about next year's Star Trek set!

• USS Enterprise D

• Set 10356

• 3600 pcs

• Black Friday 2025 release

• Picard, Riker, Data & Spot, Dr Crusher, Wesley Crusher, Geordi, Worf, Guinan, Troi

• 350€ - 500€ ???

Well, there's the answer! I was wondering which Enterprise they would do and how big they would go. That's nearly twice the parts count of the Bluebrixx version (1971p), and that's a terrific minifigure list. Nine minifigures and a cat will fit splendidly in my Bluebrixx Type 6 shuttlecraft and my Type 6 shuttlecraft moc set designed by Lilium Brick Yards (formerly Ky-E Bricks). I kinda feel bad about wanting this for myself when I haven't bought Rivendell for my wife yet, but on the other hand my wife hasn't finished her 10497 Galaxy Explorer yet.

We need Q and a mariachi band! 

[Yperio_Bricks]

I've always been a fan of both, Star Wars and Star Trek. Star Trek: The Next Generation and Voyager are probably the shows I watched the most in my life. Countless repeats!

I'm not going to buy a big ICONS Enterprise, yet I am exited to see the minifigs. I guess Star Trek mocs will get a boost with official minifigs!

[JohnTPT17]

I will still maintain my minority opinion that I would have rather gotten a bridge with a bunch of minifigs in the same vein as the TV show sets - but I'm very interested in this still!

My only hope is that we don't get a look at the final set and the price, only to feel underwhelmed by what is presented. I had been wanting The Legend of Zelda for years, but was pretty disappointed in a $300 tree with only a few minifigures. I'm hopeful the price stays closer to $300 since there won't need to be many minifig molds - but who knows that the "licensed tax" for this will end up being?

A good GWP would also be nice - I think a shuttle would be too big, but I think the Ready Room could work.

Odd, I can't believe it's the TNG cast and not the Origional Series with Kirk and Spock.

[ARC2149Nova]

Slightly disappointed by the Enterprise-D, the Galaxy-class isn't my cup of tea, but the TNG crew is pretty iconic so it's all good.

Hopefully this leads to more stuff, as was mentioned getting the other important crew members, maybe some alien species too.

Both of these, to be honest. Chief O'Brien and Q are both pretty integral to the universe, and both appear in the first episode of the TNG and continually appear across multiple seasons.

Ha! I've just watched S3e01 of Picard and they have models of various Enterprises as trinkets. 'No one wants the fat one' says the bartender, to which Riker has to correct and say 'Galaxy class'.  It very much amused me.

But it probably is the ship that most people would be familiar with, maybe? Also, 1701 TOS might be a bit too thin in places for a stable LEGO model?

[BrickBob Studpants]

Interesting choice! I was certain they‘d go for the TOS Enterprise & Crew, so this is quite a surprise! A welcome one tho

Ugh, 90s kids nostalgia bait winning out again. I suspected as much because most AFOLs are the right age, but was sort of hoping LEGO'd go for the broader appeal of TOS regardless. I mean I actually am from that 90s kids generation but TOS was vastly superior to TNG in terms of characterisation and storytelling. There goes the last of my interest.

Haha sorry Sometimes (often ), when I write in English, I write what I hear (strict phonetic) and then I was going back and forth in the video and at the end it looked like two different persons and i didn't recognize my mistake

[CF Mitch]

Wow, I'm rather surprised (and a little disappointed  ) they're going with the Enterprise-D

Same! Also, the movies 

I might end up getting the Enterprise, though, 'cause getting all those minifigs on their own will be a hassle  
And hopefully it'll lead to TLG making the original Enterprise as well

I guess comparisons with the Blue Brixx Enterprise-D will be inevitable.

Of course, the piece count here is 1971, versus the announced figure of 3600. I wonder how LEGO will pull it off when avoiding to copy the design solutions from the Blue Brixx set.

[Agent Kallus]

I mean 'blue brixx' have copied the exact shape of many of Lego's bricks there and not just the basic ones so if anyone's a copy it's them. Also as you say it's a wildly different scale.

I agree. However, Blue Brixx released its Enterprise earlier, using bricks copied from LEGO of course. That's why I'm curious about LEGO's approach towards the model, whether they will try to make it look differently from the one by Blue Brixx. After all, the source material is the same.

[RichardGoring]

Honestly, I don't really like the Blue Brixx version. It looks too clunky around the saucer section - yes, I know, bricks aren't great for curves, but I don't think it works that well. Maybe in really like if looks better, and viewing it on a phone doesn't do it justice either.

I hope that the larger scale LEGO has chosen will allow them to do better. It also makes you realize it will be pretty big 

There are some great midi scale Enterprises on Rebrickable that I think I prefer, as they can get the curves done better at that scale.

Same, here actually a bit surprised how bad it looks, given some people were quite positive about it. Eitherway, of course it is not really a design can be translated well into Bricks, and I guess we will see how much better the Lego version looks.

Maybe, but we shouldn´t forget that the Lego Model will includes minifigures and I would expect a bridge interier in the saucer - that beeing said, I would kinda expect the Lego Modell not to be that close to the original ship proportion wise.

If this is real, I am very excited about it, but I'm also fascinated as to how this would look practically. The closest analog that jumps to mind for no. of pieces and minifigs is Jabba's Sail Barge, but the barge is a essentially a cuboid with some fold up sides. Feels a lot harder to do that with the curves of the Enterprise D.

[MatthewRC]

I’m really surprised that LEGO is starting off with The Next Generation instead of The Original Series. Eh, we might as well support this products sales for more LEGO Star Trek products in the future.

Honestly that set doesn't look good to me at all. Putting aside that it's clearly copying lego- as @Agent Kallus says, this is taking lego part designs 1:1, which definitely sets it as a knockoff rather than 3P- it's just not a good design. This looks like the type of design lego would come up with in 2006ish.

[Dreamweb]

Well, I concur that the design is not very good. Not meaning to defend Blue Brixx, as I do not own any of their stuff anyway, but some of their designs do look much better than this set. One couple I know own Kirk's original Enterprise from Blue Brixx with a piece count much closer to that of the planned LEGO set, and from their pictures I've seen, I'd say it's an OK model.

With that said though, I'm kind of glad that Blue Brixx' Enterprise D exists. It should inspire LEGO to try to make their version as better as it can get. Competition is usually beneficial for quality, even if the competitors are knockoffs.
