What impresses me the most about these models, is that they're using primarily the bare bones simple pieces. Not any of those specialized junk parts made for specific kits.
One of my earliest memories is being 3 years old in pre-school back in the '70s, trying to create the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (No bloody A, B, D, or D) out of Bristol Blocks, and lamenting that they didn't have the right shapes for the saucer or the engineering hull, and the nacelles didn't extend out at an angle. They didn't let us play with Legos because the kids would swallow them, so we were stuck with big Bristol Blocks
Oh how I wished I could have created something like this Enterprise.
Nice! I've got some of the big model style Star Wars Legos, and they're pretty awesome, but I would spend a pretty penny on some Trek Lego. . .
A freind of mine who works at lego here in Denmark asked his bosses why Lego did not make Star Trek models Like they did Star Wars... They said they don't think there is money in it.
ooh i remember those Bristol Blocks.. and how i hated them because you couldnt put them together in a symetric way... still today, i dont like asymetric things

The only Trek model I know of in an actual buildable production kit was the Enterprise D with... *shudders*... Mega Bloks.
What other blocks?

But now, this and this are more like it!
Edit: And this!
Qapla′!

<Look of abject horror and disbelief>
I agree...
But consider it... If they think there was money in it, would'n we at least have seen an attempt at getting into the marked...
Danes just aren't int Science Fiction... (overall)
I want to see someone build a LEGO Borg cube, that would be very very hard
Has anyone built a good space station, maybe using the LEGO Police and space parts. That could be cool.
LEGO worlds all over the world should add a Startrek area to their attraction.
Yeah, those are some great little ships from 2x4 and Mini_Wizardry. I also like the custom minifig work of Fine Clonier.
