15 Star Trek LEGO Sets Everyone Wants
7. USS Discovery
The USS Discovery straddles two distinct time periods in Trek history. Firstly, there's the fully formed NCC-1031 from the 23rd Century. This might be more of a static build in terms of the ability to make the saucer spin, but given The Lego Group's ingenuity it shouldn't be put past them, To offer that feature this kit would need to be of a similar size to the Enterprise-D and even go as far as having the open shuttlebay to the rear offering internal depth to the model.
But it shouldn't stop there because this could easily be a kit with a set of modified instructions to build the 32nd Century NCC-1031-A. Providing different surface textures and panelling might be a challenge, but modifying the engines to be detached and making slight alterations to the hull are more than realistic. It could be that the engines could either be clipped to the hull or use the clear bricks to provide that 32nd Century visual upgrade.
The mini-figs might be uniform-locked to a time period here, and fans might desire the original uniforms over the later variants. A little Lorca is a must alongside a Burnham and a Saru.
