    These adult Lego sets already have wild prices. But when an IP is involved, they are trying to charge so much for it because some people are absolutely rabid for Star Wars. Some of the die hard fans will unfortunately buy this at ludicrous pricing like that.

      I saw a teaser implying that Lego was getting access to the Star Trek IP to make kits from that. That piqued my interest, but seeing this monstrosity has killed that instantly.

        Yeah, the Star Trek IP was licensed to Blue Brixx in Germany for a few years, and they made some pretty decent and well-priced sets. there was a run on the store at the end because we all knew that the Lego versions would be crazy expensive.
