Well that is a brand new sentence no one ever said before.

This looks like a Chinese knockoff, I’m surprised it’s legit.

BlueBrixx is a German company making “Lego compatible” brick toy sets. Looks like they aim for more adult oriented sets hence the Star Trek and Star gate licenses. They also seem to produce military sets which Lego usually avoids.

They also do hilarious knockoffs of franchise they don’t have the licence for. Like a pirate ship with black sails that is simply called N.P.B. (which stands for Not-Black-Pearl). The cool thing is the quality is comparable to Lego but the sets are more than half the price.

Just guessing the entire brand is a lego knockoff
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Kind of, but it’s actually good quality and a lot cheaper.

Really? That’s disappointing. I have the original Enterprise and the Defiant in the size you have as well as the Spock figurine. They were really nice products overall.

A “Bird of Prey” with 1500 pieces, in the blue week for 35 EUR will never be available again. Unfortunately, I found out about it too late.
A Romulan warbird would have also been nice. Maybe from Lego next, but then likely for 350 EUR.MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
Can you make a retro-emulator sleeper-PC out of it?
random@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
no
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yes, me too, got the Defiant and the DS9 Station (with another mini-Defiant).

Nice haul! I wish I’d known about the existence of these sooner. I’d definitely have gotten a bunch of these.
I don’t suppose you know if there’s another company that’s gonna end up with the license? From what I can tell, this company has only had the license for a few years (since 2021, I think). Seems a pretty short run for a franchise this big.

maybe lego’ll grab it, idk, I hope not though, since lego makes a shitty and overpriced product these days
camr_on@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Overpriced I’d agree with, but the quality seems to be as high as ever imo

Would still love instructions for a 5 thousand piece Enterprise and Bat’leth for mini figs:D

I’m seeing credible-seeming rumours that Lego has acquired the license, but nothing official yet…
