Beam Me Up, Scotty! Leaked LEGO Star Trek Bridge Set Has Fans Divided Over Price!
Get ready, Trekkies and LEGO enthusiasts! A fresh leak has sent ripples across the internet, hinting at an incredible new LEGO Star Trek Original Series Enterprise bridge set that’s reportedly on its way. If these whispers are true, we’re looking at a fantastic recreation of the iconic 1966 USS Enterprise bridge, complete with its legendary crew members.
Apparently spotted in a store, this upcoming set is a true love letter to the classic sci-fi show. Imagine building your own Enterprise command center, featuring practical effects straight out of the series! We’re talking sliding doors, a transporter room designed to ‘beam up’ your minifigures, and even a captain’s chair that rocks – perfect for simulating those intense moments when the Enterprise took a hit!
But the detail doesn’t stop there. The set is rumoured to include classic accessories like the trusty tricorder, a phaser, and yes, those adorable but troublesome Tribbles. Plus, an old-school Klingon on the viewscreen is a brilliant touch. While it might be smaller than the previous LEGO U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D kit, it seems absolutely bursting with Easter eggs and nods for long-time fans.
Speaking of crew, the minifigure lineup looks stellar! From what we’ve seen, there are eight in total: Captain Kirk, Spock, Doctor McCoy, Uhura, Scotty, Sulu, Chekhov, and Christine Chapel. That’s a full bridge complement, ready for any intergalactic adventure. The set is also said to contain 1,701 pieces – a clever nod to the original series Enterprise’s designation, NCC-1701. How cool is that?
However, despite all the excitement for this highly detailed set, there’s a bit of a warp core breach when it comes to the alleged price. The set is reportedly launching on September 1st for a hefty $200 (approx. Rs 55,600). This has left many fans scratching their heads, with some pointing out that other large LEGO sets, like the Friends Apartment kit with over 2,000 pieces and seven minifigures, came in at $180 (approx. Rs 50,040). The debate is raging: is the price justified for such an iconic and feature-rich set?
Regardless of the price tag, seeing detailed Star Trek bridge sets in LEGO form is a dream come true for many. It shows the potential for more iconic ships and locations from across the Star Trek universe to get the brick treatment. What do you think about this leaked set? Are you ready to boldly go and grab it, or does the price have you thinking twice?
