edit: oh it's inconvenient when it's someone you like. I'm sure if you downvote hard enough he will go back in time to untweet his support for Israel while they were committing genocide.
I dunno. They’ve been pretty hesitant to mass merchandise. It took Lego until this year to finally get them to license Star Trek for Lego builds. (And yes I will be buying a Lego original series enterprise bridge diorama, if the make one)

My brutal but fair take:
I feel the bigwigs for Star Trek would sacrifice us all, in a heartbeat, for their own Grogu to get the kiddos buying merch.

What? Blue Brixx has been making Star Trek models for years. Their delta flyer is amazing
And that's not LEGO
Yes? The point was that Star Trek was not merchandised and not that it wasn't merchandized by Lego. There have been plenty of Star Trek merch deals
If they release a massive $1000 Enterprise-D I am all over that shit.
Where will I put it? That’s a problem for future me, now shut up and take my money.
I got the Mega Bloks TOS Enterprise on clearance for like $50 7-8 years ago. Still haven't built it, nowhere to put it. ☹️
I say we spend $100,000,000 on lego and build a 1:1 scale enterprise D in the local, uh gravity is still real so ocean? Who's with me.
They had an agreement with Mega Bloks back in the day
You didn’t buy Archer?
I would, if they sold an action figure.
I know, this is c/tenforward and the last two should be flipped for the community... but my heart can't lie.
They missed the window. Tribbles could've been the first beanie babies.
You say that but yet they refuse to make an official moopsy plush. I would go all in on moopsy but noooo
Master replicas has one: https://www.masterreplicas.com/products/star-trek-lower-desks-moopsy-plush-10inch
Yes but will it devour the pile of bones in definitely not my basement?
I've not seen any bones laying around since I got one.
username checks out
Wow... it's been a minute since I said that!
it is important to note that none of the bones are sapient or screaming. this is not my fault.
one day i will complete the droning throne of bone. one day.
There was the Alpha 177 canine with the horn :D
That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25 because it's not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.
Now seems a good time to remind people to just let people enjoy things.
You cannot even begin to comprehend how calm I am right now
are we not counting revenge of the 5th?
edit: well, it was so bad that it only deserves 1/4 of a day. nvm...
Is that what happens when Star Wars fans find out about Cinco de Quatro invading their turf?
star wars and cinco de quatro are pretty compatible
Oh great, does this mean we’re going to have to follow StarWar just like we followed Data on Data’s day?
I’m really not up for a wedding episode today, you lunkhead.
I hope this is a true post
as a polyscifist i celebrate both. also the multitude of Bs
What would be a Star Trek day? Is there any date that comes to mind?
April 5th (First Contact day)
Next year, we shall engage the internet on April 5th as Star Trek first contact day!
Make it so!
Here’s a few…
I’m feeling April 5th. That must been a power series of events that projected human kind.
But don't forget to remind them they're actually celebrating Margaret Thatcher's day.
Actually the 8th of April is celebrated as Thatcher day.
It was a lovely day to be married too
Ewww, even if I were a Star Wars fan, I feel like it originating with thatcherites would ruin the pun fully for me
