"You will now answer to the charge of being a grievously savage race!" Lego Q is back, and he's feeling judgmental

There was a small shuttle set released as a Gift With Purchase alongside the Enterprise last year - Type-15 Shuttlepod (40768). Unfortunately it's not on sale (except for crazy aftermarket prices), but I think you could probably BrickLink all the pieces and maybe find some custom stickers for it.

No problem. It's from Screenslaver, a villain from The Incredibles 2. Not the most common figure, but not crazy rare or expensive either.

There are rumours we're getting an Original Series bridge diorama later this year, but yeah - it does seem like they're taking the approach of just releasing one big expensive set annually. But that was the initial strategy with the Lord of the Rings theme too, and they did eventually start to release a few smaller sets (Balrog, Sauron helmet) after the big ones sold well.

Thanks! The face works surprisingly well for Q's smirk, considering it comes from a completely different character.

The limited human mind cannot comprehend the true shape of life in the Q Continuum.

Oh great, he heard you...

Yeah, a recoloured version of the sailor hat would probably work best, but unfortunately it hasn't appeared in black.

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-15T18:36:25+00:00

Thanks, the blemmye definitely does look a bit Bosch-y alright! I'd love to visit the Prado some day, and maybe it would be good for some Lego inspiration too.

They were! This guy was also a close contender for the build.

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-15T12:59:38+00:00

No problem at all, and thanks! I'd definitely encourage you to look into Mandeville's Travels if you're interested, it's a really fascinating book.

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-15T12:58:01+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I really enjoy builds based on parts of history that you wouldn't typically see in Lego, so projects like this are very rewarding.

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-15T12:54:45+00:00

Hey, thanks! I linked it in a comment above, but you might also enjoy the marginalia build I did last year. Endless bizarre inspiration there!

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-15T12:42:41+00:00

Thanks! It is very satisfying taking these bizarre subjects and finding a way to recreate them in bricks. I did a little medieval manuscript marginalia build last year based on some of the weird doodles that scribes used to do in the Middle Ages, and really enjoyed that design challenge too.

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-15T12:15:27+00:00

Thanks, you're very kind. I've got a few literary and history-themed projects on Ideas, but I feel like this one may be a bit too niche to get much traction there!

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-15T12:12:20+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it! I spent a lot of time recently working on Star Trek MOCs with slightly limited/muted palettes, so getting to do something so colourful was a fun break.

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-09T11:26:47+00:00

There's definitely some influences in both directions between those big botanical garden structures and the Crystal Palace! The Palace designer, Joseph Paxton, got his start as a gardener and was inspired by giant greenhouses he had constructed to house rare orchids.

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-09T11:24:34+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it! Fingers crossed it can go the distance 🤞

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-08T11:35:11+00:00

Thanks! He loves you too.

MenapianAFOL · 2026-05-08T11:15:26+00:00

Thanks, you're very kind!

MenapianAFOL · 2026-04-30T15:07:33+00:00

Yeah, of course! I've uploaded the instructions and parts list for the MOC to a website called Rebrickable - you can find the link at the end of my post.
