unfortunately bluebrixx lost the license
A “Bird of Prey” with 1500 pieces and legal license, in the blue week for 35 bucks will never be available again. Unfortunately, I found out about it too late.
Nice haul! I wish I’d known about the existence of these sooner. I’d definitely have gotten a bunch of these.
I don’t suppose you know if there’s another company that’s gonna end up with the license? From what I can tell, this company has only had the license for a few years (since 2021, I think). Seems a pretty short run for a franchise this big.
maybe lego’ll grab it, idk, I hope not though, since lego makes a shitty and overpriced product these days
Overpriced I’d agree with, but the quality seems to be as high as ever imo
I don’t even know that I agree with that at this point. 5 years ago I would have maybe agreed but today they’re right in line with what I would expect from a product whose quality didn’t go down after inflation, since they didn’t really raise prices after covid like everyone else.
I’ll note though that I’m only talking about sets for the under 12 crowd, I haven’t had occasion to buy any of the serous sets since the Tantive IV 20 years ago lol.
then you’ve been buying the right sets maybe, but it’s still overpriced and they put all kinda of colours in their sets
Would still love instructions for a 5 thousand piece Enterprise and Bat’leth for mini figs:D
…these look good!..i still regret having to sell off my playmates starships during the dot-com crash…
This looks like a Chinese knockoff, I’m surprised it’s legit.
BlueBrixx is a German company making “Lego compatible” brick toy sets. Looks like they aim for more adult oriented sets hence the Star Trek and Star gate licenses. They also seem to produce military sets which Lego usually avoids.
They also do hilarious knockoffs of franchises they don’t have the licence for. Like a pirate ship with black sails that is simply called N.P.B. (which stands for Not-Black-Pearl). The cool thing is the quality is comparable to Lego but the sets are more than half the price.
So glad I could pick up some discounted stuff as well… Not in this picture: the Stargazer, which is gift wrapped and will be handed over to my son later today. These will serve as presents over the next year or two.
