You may have already seen this, but I though it was pretty neat just the same. It looks like flickr user tikitikitembo

A few years ago, Kreo picked up the Star Trek License for the Movies and they came out strong with a full line of sets and figures. I was very excited to see how these turned out and to get a full collection of all the the Star Trek figures to go with my Lego.
Even though these are not lego, they are close enough for me to get them since Lego will probably never pick up this line. Also, Kreo makes a pretty good block, so I figured that they would br pretty good quality as well.
I have added all of these to the price guide. they are pretty mush all $7 as this is about what it will cost you to pick them up. You can still find most of these on eBay here.
EDIT: It looks like the series 2 figures are getting a little hard to find.
Here is a full list of the figures in my price guide.

After seeing them, they are not as good as Lego, but they are very nice and probabaly right in between Mega Bloks and Lego. It is amazing how much better that Lego is at producing these little buggers.
With that said,let me show you the individual images as well.

This is by far the best U.S.S Enterprise that I have ever seen. Take a look below. You can also see some of his other builds at http://www.zmasterbrick.com/lego.html
Here is the link to his Flickr account.
I have seen many people attempt to get the circle correct and up until now, I think that they all failed. This is a very inventive idea. If you look closely, you can see that he appears to have built 12 triangle sections to make the circle and attached them all together.
This in combination with the sheer size of the ship, makes the circle almost appear perfect!
I especially like the fact that it is studless. I am not sure I can find any studs anywhere. Additionally the use of the Star Wars globes in the engines looks just like the moving warp drives in the movies. I wonder if these inspired the build and were used to determine the scale of the set, or if it was based on the size of the circle that he could build. I am guessing that one of those were the starting point.
I wonder where he picked up the ears. I am inspired to go and get my Kreo Star Trek Collection out of storage and take some pictures. That may be a good job for tonight.

Every once in a while one of the clone brands catches my attention. This is one of those cases. I really like this Groot Big Fig and I think I will need to pick one of these up.
I found him over on http://www.aliexpress.com/ I checked on eBay and I could not find one yet. But they will show up. I think this will make a nice addition to my super hero collection. Before you ask, none of these in the below picture are customs or duplicates. I consider myself a purist unless I cannot get a figure from Lego.
I also am going to pick up one of the large Thing minifigures as well. I also picked up a custom Silver Surfer at one point as well. Sorry about the pic, he is super tough to photograph. Way too shiny.

We should be seeing official pics soon, but this looks like the first pic that I have seen anywhere.
Per the Wall Street Journal and Brickset.com
I updated this list with all of the new figures. Close to 100 now. Ouch. I am not sure, but we may have a few duplicates. We will have to see if the sets have variants or now. These are pulled from all of the released and unreleased photos.

I just found this on eBay. A little expensive for my blood, but it is it a nice display and one that I have thought about making in the past. I just never got around to ordering the parts.
He says that he will ship this. I can just imagine opening the box when I receive it and seeing a mess of pieces that have seperated and me needing to rebuild the whole thing. 🙂
You can see the auction here.
I try to move my displays sometimes across the room and they break. Imagine shipping from the UK to the US. Ouch.
Here are a few more pictures. I believe that this is all brick built.
