/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.

Does the Riker Minifig have an extra-articulated leg to go over seat backs?
No, but he does have a trombone, and that's almost as good.
It’s got some charm, but that’s a pretty weak attempt at the saucer section.
I'm going to withhold judgement on it until we see the topside. The geometry on the D is just about a worst case scenario for lego parts and ventral fore (the neck and the 'bulging' part of the saucer in particular) is probably going to be the worst looking angle. Hopefully this leak is them trying to set some expectations iwanttobelieve.jpg
I was just thinking that. Those nacelles are just about perfect though.
WOW $400 fuck that
10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise D
They couldn't even bother to work in a 1701 into the product code. Literally unforgivable.
And it has too many pieces to have it hidden there like what they did with the Saturn V with 1969 pieces.
That is fugly and nowhere near worth the price Lego is asking. It's very disappointing.
That's the LEGO way to do things - overpriced and underwhelming.
They could have done much better.
That is disappointing, especially at that price.
The saucer looks like ass, especially for that price. Wow.
Look how they massacred my boy!
There aren't that many pictures of the bluebrixx enterprise d from below for comparison (and I still think it's odd the Lego model was shown from an angle you practically never see it from, but whatever)...
From golem.de:
From YouTube:
The bb enterprise d came with about 2k pieces for about 200 bucks, so the retail price per piece isn't even that far off. ~~The dimensions are pretty much the same though (bb coming at 55 cm length, so slightly shorter), so I'll guess that Lego just keeps its course of avoiding larger plates and pieces to end up using so many more pieces for a model of roughly the same size.~~ I really prefer how bb avoided sharp corners in the saucer section though.
/edit
Okay, my mistake: the bb enterprise is 55 cm wide, so the Lego one seems to actually be larger as, due to the elliptical saucer, the model is supposed to be wider than long:
Also, here's a better bottom view image I found on amazon, for a better comparison:
/edit 2:
Lego enterprise saucer section seems 60 studs wide. BB Enterprise is a bit harder to count from the images, but I'd say it's 52. So, yeah, Lego 1701-D is a bit bigger.
No Borg cube?! I’m out. Yah, also agree on ticket price being absurd for such a shitty saucer section.

Personally, I’m stoked and set some money aside for it when the first rumors came out early this year.
Is it perfect looking? No, it’s LEGO being used to create a ship that is all swoops and curves.
But I don’t care that it looks like LEGO. I have been waiting for official Star Trek LEGO since the 1980s.
I didn't know what I was expecting from LEGO Star Trek... I mean, I didn't really have any expectations... But this looks kinda ugly and disappointing.
I don't know. Maybe ships that with significant rounded sections don't work in LEGO.
Not unless they're covered in greeblies like the Millennium Falcon.
This looks like the Enterprise-D that Lego would have released in 2005 and already replaced it a few years ago with a larger and more realistic-looking version.
(Compare first versions of major Star Wars sets from the 1990s like the Millennium Falcon to the most current versions.)
This year's exclusive Black Friday model is the heavily anticipated LEGO Icons branded set, 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise D.
What does that mean? That they only sell it on that one day, and will never make more? Or will it be a normal LEGO set that just launches on that day?
Want to know as well. The price might be okay if it is on sale.
Apparently they made a new mold for Worfs minifig hair. So it would be strange if they only used it once.
Seems unlikely that it will only be on sale for one day. Last year’s Black Friday set is still available, for example.
