Quick question for the hive mind: Whilst LEGO don't make any Star Trek products (no license) do any of you know of any good 3rd party sets/fan creations that can be made for a reasonable price?

That is pretty cool, and until now I never noticed the lack of star trek. Pretty expensive though.

Supply and demand unfortunately, from the Amazon comments it used to cost about £120.
I bet a borg cube could look amazing!
Also never thought of this.
I would lap it up!
Star Trek doesn’t really fit the Lego brand, you can sell Star Wars to kids, Star Trek not so much. Most Trekies will remember TNG airing on TV for the first time (aka mostly adults and getting on a bit) where thins like star wars and Harry Potter etc. very much spans the generations.
As much as Lego pleases Afols, there aren’t really any themes directly targeted at them (possibly Ideas being the exception). Most Lego gets bought for kids at the end of the day.

Following on from this, most of them kind of fit:
Mustang and Caterham are too wide, Mini, Beetle, Camper and F40 are on although the F40 is the only one that's low enough to go on the lower deck and is a little bit too long to fit nicely on the trailer (the front set of ramps are down a little to accomodate it) and too wide to fit nicely on the transporter part.
So it’s triple force Friday.
ordered myself the Yoda by 9am and had an email saying I’m on back order. I wouldn’t normally purchase a standard set direct as it will get discounted elsewhere but the GWP is really rather good and well worth paying RRP for.
The UCS Y-Wing has money off but I already have it, nothing else of interest for me.
I’m sure Smyths will get the UCS Star Destroyer and discount it like the Falcon sooner or later.

That's what she said, incidentally..
One of my local shops had 2 of these Liebherr Excavators on the shelf

£400 
Looks awesome though ... not a one evening build haha
I like that they've moved across to using your phone as the control method - logical!
It even brings back a bit of the old Lego Mindstorms side of things where you could "programme" using pre written blocks of code to create custom movements - like it!
That designer they were talking to in the video needs a better fitting wardobe though

Am guessing the high price is also because it includes 3 XL Motors & 4 L Motors..£400
Am a bit more lucky as it was £325 in my local shop (Guernsey) if i remember the price right

I might have to wait for a sale for that behemoth!
