Unlike Star Wars, the other defining sci-fi series/movies of our time, Star Trek, hasn’t gotten much LEGO love, officially and non-officially. So, it was exciting when we stumbled upon Kevin J. Walter’s newest LEGO MOC Star Trek, the NCC-1701-A U.S.S. Enterprise. If we can only use one word to describe Walter’s LEGO take of the iconic starfleet spaceship, then it would be “breathtaking.” No doubt about it. I mean, seriously, just look at this thing. Isn’t it a beauty? Continue reading This Might Be The Best LEGO MOC Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Thus Far
