The Ultimate LEGO Klingon Bird Of Prey Is Made From 25,000 LEGO Bricks

The Ultimate LEGO Klingon Bird Of Prey Is Made From 25,000 LEGO Bricks
I have always had a thing for the Klingon Bird of Prey. It is just such a beautifully designed ship from a time before the folks at Star Trek kind of gave up on good ship design. So I had to share this amazing LEGO creation from Kevin J. Walter. It took 25,000 LEGO pieces to create. The amount of detail that he created here is insane. I love these builds, but they also make me a bit sad, because LEGO should be offering sets like this so nerds like me can build them. On the other hand, it would probably cost a fortune so maybe it is for the best. Kevin had to create his version from a blueprint that he made himself.

First Mega Bloks Star Trek Construction Sets

First Mega Bloks Star Trek Construction Sets
We had news earlier this year that Mega Bloks had secured the license to produce Star Trek construction toys. They aren’t LEGO, but hey, all of the images you see here are awesome, so how can you complain? At NYCC they are showing off the Enterprise and two other sets that will be released in the fall of 2016.

The biggest set is the USS Enterprise, which will apparently be over three thousand pieces and have light up nacelles to boot! It comes with two figurines: Kirk and Spock in dress uniforms. This ship is a 1/350 scale set that will cost $250. If you want something more affordable but no less cool, the Klingon D7 class will be $30. This one also comes with a figure, a Klingon obviously with a banner of the Empire on a display base.

The coolest one as far as I’m concerned is the transporter room from the mirror universe, featuring mirror Kirk and Spock, and a mid-transport Scotty. This set lights up with glow-in-the-dark elements. Also the mirror universe designs can be flipped around to make it look like the prime universe transporter room.

These are some awesome sets, that’s for sure. The bottom image is a Command chair made using Mega Blocks that is on display at NYCC.

Star Trek Into Darkness Red Planet , Spacesuits And Klingon Concept Art

Check out these pieces of concept art from Star Trek Into Darkness. The first few are of the red planet in the Nibiru system from concept artist Andrea Dopaso, which are simply stunning and look much better than what we saw on screen. The rest are production sketches from concept artists Keith Christensen, Constantine Sekeris and Neville Page.

The Klingon suit designs are especially interesting and there’s a concept design of the Klingon planet and some different versions of the Starfleet space suits.
