I'd say Generations Kirk for me.

Oh yeah, certainly mega bloks has gotten *much* better. I really love the bridge set. It looks wonderful next to the lego tardis console room. The quality is almost as good as lego in my opinion. Though I think if lego had the licence, there'd be more in the bridge set to build, rather than having several big bits of plastic. Then again, there'd also probably be more stickers... I love the little MB trek figures too, but kinda wish they were lego figures so they'd go better with all my other minifigs. 

 

I agree that mega bloks needs to increase their availability. I was actually looking for a box of mega bloks generic blocks to build stuff with, figuring they'd be much cheaper than lego blocks. I couldn't actually find such a box in any store in Australia...aside from their duplo sized blocks. 

 

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that lego will pick the licence up. Doctor Who was originally character building, then went to lego. There was also back to the future minimates and they've made BTTF lego. TMNT has been both lego and mega bloks. 

 

I'd say if MB doesn't continue star trek, lego will pick it up eventually. If MB keeps it, they'll pump out more sets. It's win win =)

also no sign of these sets avaliable anywhere in Australia.

 

I too would love more of these sets, but I suspect they won't be forthcoming.

 

What would be ideal is for mega bloks to let the licence lapse and for Lego to take it. Make some sets from it + add the licence to their Lego Dimensions video game.

Is there a TOS movie constitution class coming out again? I haven't bought any of these ships yet but would really like a nice A/refit style ship model to display somewhere.

I found a few of these sets at Books a Million of all places, so maybe they might show up at some of the brick and mortar retailers too. I was so excited to find Star Trek in the wild that I grabbed a couple of extra sets just for the mini-figures! I wish there were other options to get extras of the characters included in the bridge set.

 

How was the price in comparison to Amazon?
