Star Trek Day is lastly right here, and whereas there aren’t a ton of upcoming Trek exhibits on the docket to speak about, different nice issues are taking place. In reality, the day kicked off with an enormous announcement that LEGO is collaborating with the sci-fi sequence, and I’ve a giant hope exterior of proudly owning a mannequin of the Enterprise.
Whereas I am unable to look ahead to a dream night of watching episodes of The Subsequent Era with my Paramount+ subscription whereas establishing ships, I’ve a much bigger hope for this collaboration down the stretch that includes a digital element. Earlier than moving into that, although, this is what we all know concerning the precise announcement.
Star Trek Is Lastly Collaborating With LEGO
After months of rumors and hypothesis, LEGO lastly confirmed that the long-awaited collaboration with Star Trek is formally taking place. They marked the event with a tease at what’s to return, as a digital Minifig of Jean-Luc Picard is seen energizing onto the Enterprise. Test it out:
Watch On
I hope that notch on his head is not so that individuals can connect the notorious wig Patrick Stewart had flown in for his audition for Star Trek: The Subsequent Era. I joke, however I simply know as quickly as this assortment drops, somebody goes to place hair on the beloved captain.
Whereas there aren’t any particulars past a tease presently, it appears the rumor is that the collaboration’s first piece would be the Enterprise-D and have Minifigs from TNG as a part of it. I am not stunned, contemplating it is the gold normal for Star Trek and has among the finest franchise characters on the sequence. Even on this age the place Unusual New Worlds is bringing again love for the TOS period, I feel love for Jean-Luc and his crew stays robust within the hearts of most followers.
A LEGO Star Trek Recreation Would Be Unbelievable
Seeing a digital Picard instantly triggered my gaming mind, and made me understand that LEGO getting the Star Trek license implies that it is possible the corporate might make a sport devoted to the franchise. We have seen a LEGO make wonderful video games for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Marvel, and I feel there is no higher franchise to get this remedy with than Trek.
To start out, there is no scarcity of exhibits, episodes, and colourful characters to adapt. Think about recreating among the most WTF moments of Voyager and having them referenced in a online game! Or, simply doing one thing like wandering by means of Deep Area 9‘s promenade as Odo, or scheming as Nog and Jake. Hell, when you made a sport solely set from the angle of Nog and Jake, I feel that will be Recreation of the 12 months materials!
LEGO might feasibly make a Star Trek sport for each present that is been made. That stated, the corporate might additionally do one thing like LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which was a sport that abbreviated and highlighted all the finest moments from the Star Wars motion pictures. I am undecided which route is the most effective to go down, however I do know that there are numerous Decrease Decks writers who could be excellent writers for the video games, which frequently have a comedic slant. We’ll see if it occurs, and if it does, I am unable to wait to listen to all the small print.
I am excited to listen to extra particulars on the Star Trek and LEGO partnership, in addition to all of the surprises which might be in retailer for the large day. Possibly we’ll get a reveal about all of the units coming our means, and fingers crossed, information {that a} sport is already within the works.
