Mega Construx Star Trek construction toys

Page created 17th March 2016. Last updated 14th September 2018.

Mega Construx, previously known as Mega Bloks, is a construction toy company, which produces toys using plastic bricks and other interchangeable elements, compatible with Lego and other similar products. Mega Bloks have twice held a license to produce Star Trek construction sets, having produced a single set in 2004, and a range of sets from 2016 to 2018 (in which time the brand changed names).

So far their sets have drawn their subject from TOS and TNG, and broadly fall into four categories: Models of ships, playsets with figurines, individually released micro action figures in their Heroes range, and larger brick-built figurines in their multi-franchise Kubros range. This list is arranged into those four categories, in release order within each section.

Hi, have there been any more releases/scheduled releases? If so, would you be possibly do an update/part 2? If not, will you if there are?

I only recently discovered Mega had a Star Trek licence, and their website is not helpful. Thank you for the guide you have here.

I update the list whenever there are new things to add. There have been a handful of small releases late in 2017. But at the moment there are no known plans for anything else.
