(...) Let's not get carried away. The model of the Enterprise used to film the original series (thus not a refit like the 1701-A or a later model like the B, C, or D) was a mere 11 feet long, and eyeballing it, it looks roughly minifig scale. (URL) (...) (24 years ago, 1-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

To All, (...) Now, now, gentlemen, I like both, although I give Star Trek the upper hand, even though the original was a little flaky, especially the third season. SW plots were flaky too, but the characters were pretty cool. And I always liked the (...) (24 years ago, 1-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)
