I gotta get me one of those.
The Legos or the wife?
Yes
Both?
Lego playsets? They’re everywhere.
Which one?
As a nearly 40-year-old man who loves buying Star Wars Lego, and who has a bread-winning wife, this hit all the way to home.

Laughed out loud. Then asked for a divorce.
More time for Legos!
Yeah same, I sent it to her and she said. “I literally laughed out loud”
I’m in this meme, and I’m totally ok with that. Hun if you see this the landspeeder with 1890 pieces please! Love you!
That set is pretty dope.

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.
Definitely need some stickers, at least, for this.
the miniscule size
Lego Millenium FalconI’m about 80% sure you are being sarcastic at this point. Just to be sure:
- The BlueBrixx sets print unique design elements like names, numbers, coloured lines directly onto the bricks. LEGO is known for adding packs of cheap stickers for most of that.
- The ready room picture is, afaik, one of the more iconic objects associated with Picard.
- The painting is 1m x 0.5m with some depth.
- The Lego Millennium Falcon has ~2.5 as many pieces for ~4.5 as high a price. (Using the regular price, which is €189.95, btw, ten less than you wrote.)
- Intricate details I cannot judge from the pictures. I suppose that comparing a painting set to a ship that’s several times as expensive may also not be the easiest to compare, even in person.
The Star Trek ships should be bigger and cost more, or cheaper and cost less. Not the same amount for far, far less.
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.
The repulsive Picard picture on the Enterprise D,
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.
Look at me! I am the trophy wife now!
Where do I get one of those?
This is the dream.
Beverly or the Lego?
Exactly this.
I hope you mean the Blue Brixx Star Trek set
No, Jean Luc is obviously a man of taste. Star wars is the superior choice, of course.
He’s LEGO pirates of the Caribbean just because old ships. In bottles.
This hit close to home. Except the kids destroy my Lego sets or steal parts.
Use the kragle.
short hair bev crusher changed me permanently
Somehow, I have become both at the same time.
Hmm… and here I’ve been buying myself all these Lego sets… Have I been doing this wrong all this time?
That said, I’ve already pre-ordered the Ghost and am pretty hyped for it because I’ve been staring at the old Ghost set on ebay for a couple years longingly…
…And I still need to finish building my xwing…
Only in my dreams… Only in my dreams… Or VR I guess at some point.

Sorry you don’t have a breadwinning executive level wife to buy you Lego sets.
Better luck in the next life!
That’s not the kind of joke made by people with secure masculinity so I think these few steps can help you:
- Picture a woman more successful than you.
- Accept that she is not a threat to your ego.
- Understand that your self worth isn’t defined by other people.
- Repeat the phrase “Successful women don’t exist ____(despite of/because of/for/to hate/to ruin/to mock) me.” Successful women simply exist, whether you are there to observe them or not.
- Remove “women are ____” statements from your speech until you no longer feel threatened by them.
- Get therapy
Please stop projecting your own life onto OP, it’s not healthy dude.
