They finally got licensing in place with Playmobil, but only for the really high end collector-niche Enterprise and Klingon ship model play sets. Unlike other Playmobil lines, the Star Trek one doesn’t include the less expensive entry level sets that kids might get as gifts.
And I’m their exact target demographic (adult fan of Lego, huge Star Trek fan) but won’t buy Playmobil sets because they don’t have the quality, look, or appeal of Lego. Seems they’ve bounced the IP around to various Lego competitors over the years with little success.

The BlueBrixx sets look pretty cool, but from what I understand they’re difficult to get if you’re not in Europe.
