  1. NewsFlash: Lego Starship NOT exact scale!!! by Tsar · · Score: 5, Informative

    Before any rabid Trekkers reading this story decide to email him, let me point out that he's already been informed of this: "Within hours of posting, someone named Medic e-mailed me with the dimensions: 'Enterprise-D is a Galaxy Class Starship, which are supposed to be 2,103 feet long by 1,542 wide by 476 tall.' Which means, ratio-wise, my model is a little taller than it should be. I think I can live with that."

    Bet it's the tallest one in four counties, though!

    Enterprise 1701- Main TOS ship.

    Enterprise 1701 - Upgrade, refitted Enterprise. New class named: Enterprise class. Seen in ST:TMP

    The coolest movie-to-Lego-model that I've seen is this Millennium Falcon (had to use Internet Wayback Machine as the original site's pictures are down).

    This is one of those topics where people who are wrong are not going to change.

    Stupid is as stupid does and all that, but for what it matters, the official word from Lego is:

    1. The trademark LEGO should be written in CAPITAL letters.
    2. The LEGO trademark should not be referred to in a generic way such as "LEGOS" of "legos", or as plural or possessive words like "LEGO's".
    3. When using the LEGO trademark as a noun, please never leave it alone. Always add and extra noun, e.g. LEGO sets, LEGO products, LEGO toys, LEGO building bricks, LEGO universe, etc.

      So there you have it.

      "This is my Lego" is wrong.

      "These are my Legos" is worse.

      "These are my LEGO bricks" is correct.
