In case someone doesn’t already know these 58 licensed Star Trek sets: https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/sets/star_trek?filter=parts&order=desc&limit=58
Okay?
If you want a more LEGO-like feel, you can probably replace the high quality printed blocks with some stickers.
Edit: I misunderstood the sets the above post was referring to.
I’m about 80% sure you are being sarcastic at this point. Just to be sure:
That’s, like, your opinion. Personally, I think €850 for a single set is a bit much. I’d rather have 5 smaller sets for that price. That said, Bluebrixx does plenty of ships that are "cheaper and cost less", down to tiny sets for ~€10 each.
Lol, I complete misread part of your first post.
Looking at the catalogue, the first is "Picard ready room painting", and I somehow mixed the two together. Complete reading comprehension failure on my part. All the other erroneous points in my post followed from that. Sorry!
That said, the whole thing still seems to be an issue of "your mileage may vary". I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the image of Picard on some other official Star Trek stuff at well. (DVD Box art?) I wouldn’t describe it as "repulsive".
Comparing https://www.lego.com/en-de/product/millennium-falcon-75257 and https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/star-trek/104184/Star-Trek-USS-Enterprise-NCC-1701-D-BlueBrixx-Pro :
The Star Trek looks like the original. I don’t think a bridge would make sense given the scale. If you look at the video, every single dot is a room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IwxDO2Lrnk
I’d say there are plenty of details, and ~1.5 as many parts to represent as many features as possible on the model. It doesn’t have any play features, as far as I can tell, but I don’t think that was the goal either. Unlike the LEGO set, it’s a straight-up display model, and it works quite well for that, by my estimate. Again, this is just personal opinion. Everyone should judge for themselves what they like.
